A little turbulence

Still flying high. I have a good cushion of winnings beneath me. Did run into some ups and downs today though. Pretty standard stuff I guess, stuff like:

* Flopping top set on an all spade flop and somehow I couldn't push the guy off of the flopped nut flush. I was already committed anyway and well priced in to shove the rest in based on boat outs which didn't materialize.

* Having top set run down by a flush draw.

* Flopping the nut flush draw and not getting there.

* Flopping the nut straight and having a guy freeroll on me with the same straight and a flush redraw which got there.

* Etc. etc.

Given that I am buying in for the minimum at .01/.02 tables I am surprised that I am dipped down as far 3 bucks off of my peak. But with the margin of error that I've built up I'm not panicking and I have zero interest in buying in bigger or moving up stakes. I'm still just getting started and I'm going to stay on track. Despite the deficit that I created I still managed to eek out a .29 profit for the day which feels like a victory after being so deep in the hole. I'll take it.
