My weekend ended with a blast. After overextending my multitabling capability most of Thursday and Friday and losing ~75 in total, I got out of my funk on Saturday and won quite a bit of money.

A morning session and an afternoon session sandwiched chemistry. The morning session was unproductive -- 8 tables at a time were definitely too much to handle, I won't do it ever again. I won some, lost some, and at the end I ended up almost breaking even.

The afternoon session, however, was a totally different story. I had 3 tables of 0.25/0.50 and 2 tables of 0.10/0.25 running, and I won significant money on each of them. At different points I had 2 buy-ins at each of the NL50 tables, and I left with 3 and 2 buyins at the NL25 tables respectively. The end result was +>$200, with my bankroll now sitting at $1690.

Here are a few remarkable hands. All of them were from Saturday:

NL25:

Trips in a raised pot ==> $$. This is a hand which I actually think I played well. Maybe opponent thought I was flush-drawing against his weak overpair. But I outflopped him big time, and when I sensed that he was pot-committed on the turn, I pushed all-in and destacked him.

Loose preflop limp, top-2 pairs on flop, added a flush draw on turn. Turns out I needed to outdraw SB who flopped a set, but I rivered another Q for the nuts anyways. I'm pleased with the result, but could I have played this differently?

Loose preflop calls, but it wasn't like I had to cold-call 2 raises at the same time. Flopped a 14-out combo-draw, got a free card, and hit a flush quickly (yay). LP, who had QQ, decided to raise my river bet. I was putting him on trip Kings only so it was an easy shove for me. I'm glad he called me even without the King.

NL50:

A small-blind special bottom-2-pairs against resistance. I turned a flush draw (much like hand 736741), and decided "what the hell, I'm going all-in". This time opponent only had QQ, and it was him who needed improvement. He didn't get it, and I collected a very nice $100 pot.

An example why mixing up my game could help me paying off. Here I raised with T8s -- a favourite hand of mine -- in early position. Some opponent caught TP on flop and T2P on turn. He must be putting me on AA or KK. Little did he know I hit my straight draw with that Queen, and I successfully doubled up through him.

Another combo-draw situation -- FD plus 2 overcards. I hit my fair share of draws / combo draws today, but not here. I can however confidently say that I played this hand properly, and that's all I could ask for.
