Black at the end of the tunnel

<-$1355>
Black? Is that you? I don't recognize you...
Okay I'll be brutally honest, I'm not sure if I'm in the black. However, if I'm not, I am damn close.
This post will serve as a blank slate because I believe I am as even as I have been in a long time and I do not remember all the sessions :(. I am being honest though, I have had enough positive cashes to where I do believe I made up the hole I was in. If I was to include playing in my own games it would be another story. I was in for 1 whole G the other night because of unreal suckouts. We've all been there, I was catching cards but they were unfortunately second best after all 5 cards were put out on the board. Flop top set, 3-way all in, first pitch flush for my opponent who had no business calling my preflop raise, yadidadida... stuff like that.
In any case, I had a $600+ session at the casino when I went about a week ago and a couple minor cashes in the vicinity of $300. The most recent being the past two nights, where; as it seems usual in my posts by now; I was in for quite a bit and climbed back to make profit both nights.
Last night I was in for two buy ins of 200 ea. I was busted by quad kings when I had kings full of queens. I received a 20$ rebate from my buddy and I turned that into 500 to which I added a little by winning at mexican sweat.
Tonight I visited three locations, haha. The games kept breaking early so I moved on. At the first game I was in for 3 buy ins! ...First buy in went with me flopping the nut flush and my opponent turning a boat. The river was also a 4th card of the same suit making me think he may have a flush as well.. errr NO. The second buy in went with me flopping top two Q10. After the check bet raise all in type of deal a ten came on the turn, but my opponent had two ladies in the hole to have a higher full house. The third buy in I was able to get back up to over 540, nearly even, then I donated back 200 and took the loss of 300 to another house. This game was very short lived. I was up 70 until the last hand where my opponent flopped broadway and I had an ace I believed was good. Only a minor dent of $15 from my buyin in this session. The third location was a new place to me and I played somewhat tighter and I was soon rewarded when I had pocket kings and two callers preflop. After a continuation bet was called and the board was not too scary I decided to go all in and was soon called to double me up. I didn't move much back up or down from that point. That put me $70 up for the night!
Sometimes the poker gods do work in misterious ways.
