Justice (and crime)!

Interesting weekend playing over at PokerStars. I think I played some of my best poker. Poker is easy when you win; it's your losses that challenge you as a player. I took a major swing (for a micro-stakes player), of about $120. Keeping my cool and continuing to play good poker is what I am proud of here...money has no choice, but to eventually follow.
