Swingy day. I'm glad to end up basically even, but I could very easily have been up big thanks to one crazy LAG (55/40). But he kept hitting his outs, and I couldn't pick up enough strong hands to play him.

In other news, I defended my dissertation yesterday, which means I suddenly have a lot of free time on my hands, and I intend to play poker somewhat more regularly now. We'll see if I actually get around to it.
