Rough night, warning 2NL lunch money pots

Brag: Turned $3.00 into $116.00 in 2 months playing for pennies.
Beat: Still playing for pennies.
Beat: This post probably sucks.

I know it's peanuts to most of you, but I lost 10% of my bankroll tonight and had to stop playing for a bit before I tilted the rest off. Here are 5 highlights.

Hand 1: Careful what you wish for. Right before the flop I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if it came with an 8 and a paired board for me to clean up with?" Yeah...
