pwn1ng the DC tables

A good session playing the $1/$2 and $2/$4 Dealer's Choice tables tonight; I am up more than $100 between the two. I haven't had a losing session since coming back from vacation.

On the other hand, I never really went anywhere in the $5+$0.50 tournament, finishing about 18th after being short-stacked for a long time. My high point was these two consecutive hands, which were extremely puzzling to me...
