You are always telling a story while playing, you just want to make sure they are seeing the one you want them to.
Just now, I have QQ two limpers in front of me, I raise to 3 times the big blind. I get 4 callers, wow. So flop comes 77Q, check, check, bet to 160 with 600 in pot, I smooth call it, one other caller. Turn is a 3, bet of 80 to me, I raise to 160, fold then a call from the original bettor. River comes it is a 2, bet of 80 to me. I take a little bit of time and make like a steal of 360 bet. I get a call and take the pot. He had A9o.
I was thinking of how I was going to get any chips out of the pot. I figured tell him a story he can believe.

What a truly hideous call by him unless he had a flush or something

In this case you still got lucky, with me a surreal thing happened, I have QQ, and 3 players come into the action, I put 3500 chips on the table, one gives up and two pay, flop comes (Q88), again I put 6800 chips, , and the last villain continues, he pays.
the turn comes (4) and does not help anyone, so I put 26400 chips and the villain keeps paying, the river comes (K) me trying to read the villain's hand, because I could not see why he was paying like this, so I step, and he returns the hand in all-inn, 156450 chips, when I pay the move he shows 8888
What a kafkaesca thing

Those monsters are so far and few between (for me anyway) that I try to keep the bets bigger even if I'm risking scaring players off. If my bigger bet gets called on the flop, then villain(s) now has a vested interest in paying me even more on later streets. There's nothing worse (in my mind) than not getting paid off big with those fantastic hands.

I think this is more a story of how you need to find fish like these and never ever leave that table. I like slow playing on that board (although, when you relate a poker hand, you really ought to include stack sizes and suits, at the very least), it's hard to get action from too much on that board. There aren't really any bad cards for you either, so no worries. He still made a terrible call. You were hoping someone had a flush, or a seven, but he's a moron (excuse my language) for calling with ace high plus the board.

alot of players play with only ace cards, it's so funny. When I win all the chips, i just smile. I also think of how silly people are when they play ace cards, have not drawn anything on the table, but still keep playing.

I do most of the time but it does get frustrating when you play your hand like a draw and it gets there and you get called by 2nd or 3rd pair.

I have been cussed out by a few people for not playing only Aces it seems. lol
One particular instance a woman would only play AK, I was in the BB and I get 87 suited. 3 limping and I get to check, I flop two pair with an A hitting also. She goes all in and I call. She followed me around for two weeks cussing me. I told her when I knocked her out that I knew what she had when she bet. I couldn't get it through her head that I checked with the hand and flopped two pair. lol

I don't play that many free rolls, I play on here to play with members of this site. I do play Jackpot Free rolls. But I mostly play SNG's, sometimes I will play cash tables. I prefer to play Omaha on the cash tables. Players don't know how to play a lot of times. They will get a great Holdem hand and think they are golden.
