I had a brutal Friday, and at one point was stuck around $1k but fought back and ended up slightly better than break-even before considering rakeback (of which I earned around $250).

Saturday however, I learned how to occasionally fade 2 outs with one card to come. The result was a +$2100 profit session, $250 of which was rakeback. Saturday graph below:


Here's a fun hand from Friday which helped me get unstuck. MP2 villain is a 13/6 nit, BTN is a big donk, and the overcaller in the BB is ChicagoJoey. 88 is way too big a hand for him to get away from preflop when he's on tilt, obviously.
