Nine.com last night!

I played Nine.com last night...BRIEFLY! And it wasn't brief for a bad reason either. I log on to put in the requisite points to finalize that darn bonus requirement. So many points for the next few nights, and I hit it. But last night I didn't hit the mark. Instead I found a MARK, more precisely two of them at my table. I sit down again at $1/$2 Limit, with my usual $50. Right off the bat I notice these two players at the table, that are in every hand...raising, reraising, sucking out, swinging back and forth so fast that my head is spinning. They're chatting it up...dominating and running the table. Conventional wisdom says that these are the guys you want at the table with you. My experience is when idiots travel in packs, it can be dangerous. Still, I figure, I'll log a few hands, and since the pots are boosted by these boneheads I should earn some points. Then, I'll log off. That's right, game plan, earn points, logoff! Well it didn't go down that way. BUT, in a GOOD WAY. I get nothing for a while, like one round of the button. Then, I'm the BB, and get pocket 9's. Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum, one or the other raises it up preflop, of course, as always. I opt to call just to see what becomes of the hand. The flop comes out...and well lookee there that's a 9 out there! I bet...Tweedle dee raises, and dum reraises...so I comply, and cap it, they both call. Next card is a Jack, (i think) I pause, and then bet out again...Dee raises, Dum reraises...I cap again, they call...Dum's a little slow about it all this time. The river brings up a scary card for me...there is a straight possible, no flush, just a straight. An 8-Q or Q-K could really ruin my day here. Dee and Dum could very well have anything, remember I've seen them playing...But I decide you only live once. I bet, Dee jumps on it, and raises me, without thinking, holy cow, he must have the "RAISE ANY" button mashed in on his screen! Dum, next to act, ponders...long, and hard, this time, just CALLS. Back to me...and I'm well this is what we came here for boys...let's do this THANG! I reraise, Dee reraises me...back to Dum...has he slipped into a coma?!!! Please call/fold/anything...I just wanna know something, anything. Finally, he meekly calls, as do I of course. The rest of the table is going crazy by now...this is unreal, it's INSANE I tell you! Immediately, Dee's cards display...oh no...it's...it's...hey...that's a 10-J he's got there, ooooh, nice two pair ya got their pal. :) Now the blinky light moves on to DUM...what's he got...what's he got...what's he got...MUCK!!!! You've got to be friggin' kiddin ME!!! Now it's back to little ole me, and my little ole set o' NINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pot had swelled to $60+ on a $1/$2 LIMIT TABLE!?! And it just got shoved my way! Huh...well that's nice, I play the next hand, heck I don't even remember what it was, I folded early on. Dee and Dum ain't sayin' so much any more. Huh, they don't seem to be pushing as much anymore either. I sit around for a few more hands, and now it's like there's blood in the water. Either of them even enters a pot, and the rest of the table DIVES IN on 'em. It's like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat. I'm laughing so hard now, that I've gotta leave now. It isn't safe out there for anyone, now. Oh wait, my plan...oh yeah the points, then leave...ahh screw the plan! I've almost doubled up in about 15 total hands played, I just plowed myself back over the $300 mark. It's time to call it an evening. It's Miller Time!
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum have been given elite status now in my buddy list, on Nine.com. I'm considering renaming my children after them. By the way the brother's Tweedle are not really their names. And no, I'm not going to print their names here...not because I fear libel, but simply because, those two cash cows are mine...ALL MINE! Find your own!
