Variations in variance

I'm unsure.
I'm also down $0.70 from 219 hands.
The 219 started fairly well, I flopped quad 3s, but, although he called me all the way, the other guy only had AJ and I didn't win a whole lot.
Then, variance kicked in again with runner runner flushes and river gutshots and the like. I lost some big pots. Two of my tables broke and I didn't replace them so I was 2-tabling, trying to win back what I could. I was helped by a very kind donation.

Obviously it wasn't much, but it felt good. I got the sense that he was happy to give it to me.
I was also helped by some expert reading from myself.

The win was even sweeter because of the name. It was bitter-sweet though. Oxymorons are cool, though bitter-sweet is a clichéd one. Clichés aren't cool. Nor are losing sessions. (Or losing players.)
