are those crickets I hear?

do I have to start every ramble on here or what? can't you guys chime in with something to get everyone riled up or do I have to do it all myself?
 
all I know is we can't invite that person that is lying on the site to the omaha event if I am not invited.  If I have to be punished for being rude on here then this guy certainly gets the same treatment for all these bogus posts.

April 5, 2007, 2AM: Played 7 hours, 15 minutes, Made $420.00 at nichols helena, MT
$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

was pretty much a rollercoaster as I was between my final cash out point and even the whole time.  started out great busting 2 players in back to back hands with AK vs QQ flopping a K and KK vs 33 flopping a K.  Sadly I hit a rough spell and got back to even before finally catching a couple hands, including KK vs QJ and 22 for a preflop maxed pot that stood up.  Once I got rolling I really got lucky.  More than ever I have been trying to pick up deadwood when I can by making pot sized bets for 10-20 buck pots.  I got incredibly lucky in one of these scenerios toward the end of the session tonight as I have 89 on the button and flop A 8 3.  It's check to me so I pot it for 10 and get one caller.  The guy is pretty crafty so I figure him to have me beat at this point, but he doesn't have that many chips left so when I turn a 9 I don't mind betting half his stack (25) which he immediately shoves all in with.  I ask him if he has the hand that I was afraid he might and he tables it...33.  For the first time about 7 million years our hero Derek finds his miracle four outer on the river as a 9 spikes and pretty much finishes off the session.  The game in helena is a 2 o'clock shut down type of gig, so I pretty much put my chips in the freezer at this point because there were stuck donkeys making it 17 every hand with K7 suited and such trash.  I never woke up with anything worth playing anyway.  I was only up about 10 more than I quit for so it worked out perfectly.  I never really had a ton of quality hands.  I had one play that worked out really well...I have 67 suited in the cutoff and limp behind 5 players.  The BB makes it 20 to call and amazingly no one folds so neither do I.  The flop comes A 10 8 rainbow.  The BB checks disgustedly obviously having KK or QQ and despising the A on board and everyone else checks to me.  I decide to fire 40 at the 120 in the pot and everyone insta mucks.  I usually don't show such hands but I just said wow this is an easy table and let them see 7 high hoping to advertise a little bit for later.  Most of the pots I won were no shows on the flop or turn.  I was hoping to get more callers, but the majority of the time I had to show something down it was a big hand.  I used this as much as I could to steal little pots all night which kept me chipped up.  The more NL I play I find that I am the type of player that loves seeing flops and trying to outplay people, espeically when I am in position.  The players in this game are all so weak and have very deep pockets unline the Butte game.  I might make this a weekly habit and see if I can make some consistant licks.
 
I am trying to find the serious leaks in my game and one that I really need to work on is wasting chips trying to steal pots from people I have no business fucking around with.  It's one thing to stab at a pot for 10 or whatever and if I get called to figure out where to go from there, but 2 different times this happened tonight and I bet into very good players on the turn for 25 when I knew my bluff was unlikely to work and both times I was punished with a raise.  The vast majority of my pot stealing works right then and there.  I would guess I stole maybe a dozen pots tonight, but never did I do it when I had to fire a second bullet.  The donkeys commit themselves and that's that or the good players let you stab once then they let you know where you stand.  At least I found this about myself in a soid winning session.
