Interpoker is a tease

I really should put more money on this site or play micro stakes. I won't be playing micro stakes anytime soon.
Anyway, after my $200 fell to $75 playing limit, I decided to put it all on $.5/1 NL. My goal was to get back to $200 that night and I quickly did.
Now I decided I need to make some money today, and played .5/1 NL again. I dropped a whole buy-in. The worst hand came when I flopped two pair from the BB with KJ. The flop was KJ3 and I check-raised. Another player got all my money with a well-played 33.
Then I bought in my last $100. It dipped to $80 then rocketed to $191. But of course, I couldn't be satisfied.
So it was soon below $130.
Then came this nice hand.

As the hand was starting, the pf raiser chided someone for "playing with fire," and I decided I'd play with fire by calling the raise. Of course, i flopped the straight with an open-ended straight flush draw, and we were off.
This was one of those hands where the flop was strong enough to slow play without fear. But that would make it hard to get all of my opponent's chips. He'd opened the pot and he'd come out strong. I figured I needed to get more money in the pot before a possible scare card could hit on the turn and kill my action.
Mission accomplished.

I'm still playing, if anything exciting or devestating happens I'll make a note of it.
