CONTROLLED aggression in position

okay so i went a bit raise happy for a while there. not in necessarily a bad way at all, just... was definitely playing the maniac at the table for a while. it felt good though, i felt in control, but i was definitely subject to bigger swings than i'm used to, or can maybe handle for now. for example, i was really laying into one of my tables for like three straight orbits. of 20 hands i had probably raised 15 preflop and/or tried to take them with bets/raises on the flop, successfully for the most part, i was up a bit, losing a pot every now and then to a reraise, but taking down the vast majority of the small pots without contention, then i woke up with A/J on the button, made my standard preflop raise for probably the fourth time in a row(4xbb), and the BB pushes back a bit, popping it to 9bb, barely more than a minraise. i decide i'm well ahead of his range given how the table's gone, and to take advantage of my hyper-aggro image, i push all in for about 50bb, and he calls me up almost instantly with KJ. this is the most fun poker i've played in a while, regardless of the fact the flop came QKK and i didn't catch up. i couldn't have asked for a better situation there, and i knew exactly where i was.

this isn't to say i've been totally crazy all night. i go through spurts of hyper aggression, then fall back to really tight, more ABC play, then snap to crazy aggressive for a run, then fall back to tight, straightforward. i think this is overall a much healthier pattern than my previous apathetic habit of slightly loose but straightforward play, devolving into loose passive play mixed with some spewey tilt, back to some tighter straightforward play, then sliding back down the losse/passive slope...

wonder how this will play out if i can keep it up for some SnGs or MTTs tomorrow evening perhpas... provided i still have a bankroll. for now, i unfortunately have to call it a night....
