I didn't listen to my own advice. Shame on me. Instead of moving down after tilting off those buyins, I took a break, and jumped right back into 25NL. Turned out in my favor, though, as I now sit at $475ish. I've had some sessions before, have been winning again, but I had an epic session today which really shows how much I've grown as a player. Here are some of the big hands:
I'm leaving the player names mostly because some of the hands involve the same villain, so there is some history/metagame going on in some hands. I know posting screen names is somewhat frowned upon, but oh well.
First big hand, villain is obviously just an idiot. Easy money (I'm using PokerTracker for hand conversions now):

Like, what is he doing? One of the other players commented he was a total fish, and easy to read, which is unfortunate that he quit the table right after this.
Next decent hand, got 3 streets of value out of KK (not posting it because it's totally standard).

I point out this hand because I started to open up my 3-betting range a lot, and it really causes a lot of the future hands to play out the way they do. Manipulating my table image and what people think about me is a big part of why this session was so much fun and so successful.

I called the 3b here because T9s is a great implied odds hand I can semibluff if I hit a good flop, and it's an easy fold if I hit a one-pair type hand, like I did, as there is no way I'm ever good here. There would have to be some serious history I'm not aware of for that to be good, and I didn't have that read. I like Ben221's play here; his range is either a set (TT), a good overpair (JJ+, although I'd be surprised if he didn't 4b QQ/KK/AA pre, especially with a coldcaller - me - in between), or a big draw (AKs, AQs, AJs), and as a good portion of siatus's range is bluffs/junky squeezing hands, the shove here is good.

These are the types of plays I love making, and they never worked at 10NL, because no one folds a K here at that limit. I just have to remember to balance my range in these spots, and raise flushes/sets on this turn (although I would probably raise sets on the flop, as it's so wet, to charge draws, and actually check back this turn when I boat up; once I do, there are few hands/cards I'm afraid of, and my range is weighted to Ks checking back for pot control, and this allows the villain to bluff at me or call a river bet with a weaker hand). Those are the leaks I'm going to have to look at besides my tilt control as I start to move up in stakes.

I just posted this one at 2+2:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69/micro-stakes-pl-nl/25nl-tpgk-wet-board-facing-river-bet-836555/I called the river here because I felt my hand was a) underrepped and b) looked a ton like a busted draw, and that villain could be betting a wide river range as bluffs, as well as overvaluing AJ/AT type hands. Upon evaluation, the bet seems much bigger on the river than the turn (and I took a note on his bet sizing), and I think I could have folded.
That followed up with this spew:

Yeah, terrible, I know. The thing about it, though, is that in the past, this hand would have ruined my session. I would have gone on monkey tilt, lost another 2-3 buyins, and went to bed very upset. Instead, I said in the chat, "nh, that was pretty terrible" and moved on. And managed to come back and have a winning session. It was really positive for me to be able to see a marked improvement in my self-control here.
Not too much to see here, relatively standard, but important for metagame:

I planned on barrelling any 2, 7, diamond, A or (maybe) K. In situations where you're setting up a semi-bluff, you have to remember when you're trying to represent and have a plan for future streets. This is something that I'm much better at online than live, where the amount of times I have done things like call a turn c/r to fold to a blank river is pretty bad.

As you can see, we've been playing back at each other a bit, and I managed to get the upper hand in this one. Just felt like he was squeezing pre, and if he felt like hero calling Ahi/small pair I had some outs to back me up. It's pretty marginal, but I was pretty sure he had junk there.

I just felt the board ran out pretty sick, and there were a lot of hands that would fold, but I was also playing really aggressive, and it's entirely possible he flopped or turned a boat here and was trapping me.

I got to give my villain a lot of a credit for checking back the turn here. It looks like a cbet and done type hand, an underpair, or a weak Q scared by the ace. Gave me the chance to bluff at it, and it worked. Kudos.

Same villain. Remember the metagame: I got it in v him in a very similar spot holding KK. He's got to be nervous with even JJ/QQ, and I really felt like he was floating me here, as I had been 3betting/cbetting a lot. The turn improved my equity and gave me a lot of outs, and I bet big to look like a big pair trying to protect against a flush draw.

Pure metagame. Villain here is total nit. No way in heaven or hell is he 4betting QQ as a standard play. But against a button that's be aggro as shit like me, 4b/c here is perfectly reasonable. What he should know is that v him, because I know he's a nit, I'm not going to shove here with less that KK+/AK which I guess he has the equity to call off against, but he's always going to be in a tough spot OOP v me.

This was definitely a mistake. Turn check/raise is almost a minraise. I had great equity with a FD + gutshot, and I don't believe the line represents anything, so he's folding a lot of times to a shove here. I knew it the moment I called and bricked the river, too :(.

I called pre a) because it looked like a squeeze and b) great implied odds hand against a villain I'm deep with. Flop is basically a float, because I expect him to have a ton of junk in his range, and I just take it away on the turn.

I didn't feel he was raising the flop with a set. I felt he was raising my standard cbet with some top pair hands, maybe a straight draw, maybe some underpairs. I didn't feel the flop raise was strong, given my image and the table dynamic (kind of a gameflow thing), as I would expect a set to call the flop and let me keep barelling. I check/raised the turn because I felt I would get a lot of folds against what felt like a weak range. When he called, I felt he probably had a J, maybe TT, maybe a stubborn 9, and even if I brick the river, I'm just so committed to the pot, I didn't think I could give up now, and I didn't think he was that strong. The shove was almost potsized, and BIG, especially since we're both somewhat deep (which is part of the reason I check/raised the turn, as I felt those weaker one-pair hands are probably folding, expecting a pot-sized river shove).

Oh, this was such a sick call. Honestly, I called pre because I thought I'd get good odds if I took the flop 3 way. Turn is a stabby bet at a pot no one seems to care about, and when the villain bets the river here, I just feel like his line represents absolutely nothing. Any pair/hand that beats us, we would have a heard from on the turn, honestly, as the board gets a little wet. The only hand I feel he can represent is TT, and that is such a small part of his range, whereas the bulk of it was whiffed Ahi hands (I don't feel AT is a) calling a 3b OOP preflop or b) betting that river that big - what is he getting value from?). Sick call, imo.
Alright, time to go to bed. Also, I suck at tournaments; I really need to play less of them. They just drain my bankroll.
