Well, I got 800 hands in tonight. Got AA a total of 5 times... and took down the blinds 5 times! It was awesome! Never lost my stack (at the cash tables) all night!!! 
So while I was making $200 back towards my losses the other night, I decided to take imthatguy's advice and play some SnG's. See, I've never EVER cashed at a real-money SnG online... always take a bad beat or catch some rotten luck to bust out on (or near) the bubble. Well, here were the outcomes tonight: Doubled up early when I flopped 9's-full and some idiot got it all-in with A-high... then lost a big hand to a runner-runner straight. Have just been stealing blinds occasionally since then.

And that's why I don't play SnG's... can't get my money back in so I can rob these donks over the next 2 hours! Well, let's try another one, shall we:
The guy on my right, MajorD1, has literally played every hand until this one... He's got to be the luckiest guy I've ever seen, getting it all-in with nothing several times and catching runner-runner trips, straights, and two-pair every time! Couldn't believe it when I'm finally dealt a decent starting hand and he... FOLDS?! WTF? Must be a REALLY bad hand for him. Oh well, maybe somebody else will pay me off...

Hey... How dare he win with AA!! 
Well, I'm still happy! My AA never got cracked tonight! Woohoo!!! First time in ... well, since I started playing online! Now, if I could just win a showdown with them, I'll be golden! 
*EDIT* Just as a bonus, here's a hand I wish I could take back and do again:

Notice how he gets it all-in with over-cards against a pair, then catches runner-runner two-pair?! This was the norm all tourney long. It was surreal! But I checked the standings and he finished 3rd ($10) when he got it all-in on the flop with K-high and lost to a rivered A (A-high was already beating him)... so I guess justice was (sort of) served.
