Today's Results: ($100) in 1 hour
Felt like I ran pretty terrible today, even though I got some premium holdings. I played a total of four hands during the hour. First hand at the table I'm dealt AQo in the CO and raise a limper, take it down pre. Then I blind down to around $95, get AJo in the SB, one guy opens to $10, a loose-passive player calls on the button, and I call. 3-handed flop comes T76 two tone, and I c/f. Blind down to around $80, pick up AA in the Cutoff, make it twelve over 4 limpers, everyone folds and I make $10.
Then blind back down to $83, pick up QQ on the button. 5 limpers to me, I pop it to $15, get 4 callers. Flop comes 985 two tone, big blind leads for $15, the guy behind him raises to $40, two folds and I shove my last $68 (too short to consider folding an overpair with an stack-to-pot ratio of 1 after the preflop action. Big blind re-shoves around $200, other guy calls instantly, and I'm essentially dead vs the Big blinds flop set of 9's and the other guys' flopped straight with a flush draw to boot 76s.
Gonna take next weekend off I think and try to get my head right. I'm pretty sure I'm just running poorly, but it still messes with your confidence to lose 2 sessions out of 3, with the winning session not all that successful either. Maybe I'll work on my game online some.

Take Two
Today's Results: +$25 in 2 hours
I started off well today, over-limping KQo the first hand I was dealt. Flop rolls out QT7r and I lead $10 5-handed (3 checks in front). One caller, who check/folds to my $25 turn barrel on a Kh, which put two hearts on the board.
Next orbit I find AQo and raise to $11 from UTG +2 8 handed. One caller in the CO, same villain who called my KQ flop bet. He folds to my $20 c-bet on KT7tt.
An orbit later I'm sitting on about $115 and pick up black AA in UTG and open to $11. UTG+1, a competent but somewhat weaker female TAG flats, and the table hyper-LAG in UTG+2 squeezes to $31 (was probably playing close to 50/35). Table folds around, and I could call, but we would go to the flop 3-way. I probably should be ok with that and hope someone hits TP on the flop, but instead I elect to 4-bet, and the only option there is to ship. Two folds later and I'm up to almost $160.
I reach my peak of about $180 about an hour into the session, and then I open once with AKo, flat a couple opens with AKo and 66 and miss all three flops and drop down to the $135 range. Blind down a little further and decide to call it a day with a modest win so that I can prepare for the annular solar eclipse that will happen a few hours from now here in ABQ.
Hope next weekend treats me a bit better, but I do need to play a bit more aggressive during my sessions; this session was hampered significantly by the LAG two to my left. I would have liked to take advantage of his style more, which a couple people who had position were able to do.

First Day Back in the Game
I went down to the casino today. Unfortunately, I didn't stay as long as I would have liked. I ended up only playing for about fifteen minutes and losing my entire $100 buyin. Nothing special happened, I had gone through the blinds once and raised/4-bet shoved AKo into QQ against the most active player at the table (he had played 7 hands in the 12 or so hands I had seen, and at least 3 raising or 3-betting). Not much you can do about that. I'm planning on heading down tomorrow as well, hopefully it goes better.
