BAD start to GREAT ending!!!

Well i arrived at Foxwoods at around 8:30a.m sat down with $300.00 and by 10:00 i was crippled and sitting with $80.00. Talk about a start huh? The crippling hand was when i had QJsuited of diamonds and raised it to $12.00 from the button and big blind smooth called.
FLOP came AJQ rainbow----long story short after bets and raises and calls, big blind had aces up (AJ). Despite the horrible start, I kept my composure and did not go on tilt as it was tough to put him on that hand, and tought to let two pair go, especially heads up.

After that happened, my favorite seat on the table opened up. So i decided to switch seats and boy was it successful. After slowly building my stack up to $150.00 i look down at KK under the gun. I make it $20.00 to go and have 3 callers. I flopped top set and bet out $50.00 when i get reraised all in, and obviously i called. Guy had AA and my set of kings held up to double me up back to my $300.00 buyin.

From there on out i hit 3 more sets--10's vs. flush draw and i boated, 8's vs. flush draw and i boated, and a monster set of 9's vs. AK with flop K94 rainbow and i boated when the turn was another king, Thankfully the ace didn't pop on the river. I also flopped a nut flush vs. a flopped Q high flush which was a healthy pot as well.

To wrap up the 6.5 hour session I cashed out with $980.00 for a profit of $680.00 in 6.5 hours.

Even though i was discouraged from losing the $220.00 in 1.5 hours i stuck with it and grinded it out and most importantly stayed on top of my game by not changing my style.
