Made a very stressful visit to the valley of unhappiness:
didn't cash for 23 games straight...
2 heads-up matches, 3 multi-table tournaments and 18 sit 'n go's: lost them all (in just a few hours)... 
Serious downswing alert!
Then this hand came around:

UTG: t1850 M = 24.67

Hero (UTG+1): t1440 M = 19.20

MP1: t1395 M = 18.60

MP2: t4450 M = 59.33

CO: t1115 M = 14.87

BTN: t1020 M = 13.60

SB: t730 M = 9.73

BB: t1500 M = 20

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is UTG+1 with K A

UTG calls t50, Hero raises to t200, 1 fold, MP2 calls t200, CO raises to t1115 all in, BTN calls t1020 all in, 3 folds, Hero raises to t1440 all in, MP2 calls t1240

Flop: (t5140) 8 A 4

Turn: (t5140) J

River: (t5140) T

Final Pot: t5140

Hero shows K A (a flush, Ace high)

MP2 shows T T (a flush, Ace high)

CO shows Q 7 (a flush, Ace high)

(Funny 22 big blinds shove from the CO. 
Thank you for donating...
Please, come again!)

BTN shows 9 9 (a pair of Nines)

Hero wins t650

Hero wins t285

Hero wins t4205

Bing Blang Blaow!
After this hand I became first in my next 4 sit 'n go's (out of 5).
Back up in the profit zone...
ROI at 7% for October so far.
Winning coin flips and avoiding the valley of unhappiness at all times;
those are my goals for the remainder of the weekend.
