Full Ring at FullTilt on the eve of a full day

Well, I went back to full ring for a change this evening at $.5/$1. Was a little concerned that six max might have affected my full ring play and low-and-behold the session didn't go so well especially to start with (at one point I was down about $25) but thankfully conditions changed during the session and I clawed my way back to within $3 of my starting stack before calling it quits.

Here's my favourite bad beat of the session.

At some point I should work out how many bets I could have spared myself in that hand but not tonight.
