Long update here:
Luco: Yeah we'll have to look for each other at IRC and do some donking at 2nl....I wouldnt mind some HU for practice...
Jason: My big mistake was stayng at tables too long after they became nitty. It WAS bad though...I changed that last night and just moved along when I had to and found new tables with some bleeding going on.
This first hand is from a few sessions back. I was so happy with my bluff, although it may not have been a bluff....I may have had the best hand. He just seemed so scared that I decided to pull one out:

I almost never bluff, aside from cbets or semi-bluffs so this felt like a good genuine bluff....as I was committing a good chunk of my stack to it...he probably had a mid PP or a good A or K...
So I had a dry spell for a bit. Little action, bad cards, missing flops etc...
Its amazing how a few hands can turn things around. I started the session dry as ever, mostly taking down pots with flop cbets.
Then these happened:
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (8 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Total pot: $17.66
Results:

Hero had A , A (two pair, Aces and eights).
villain 1 didn't show [Q,Q]
Outcome: Hero won $16.81
WOOOT! They both had QQ....I don't know, if I had QQ and was Villain 1 I probably would have folded...
I thought the shove was a bit overdone by me but I didnt want to make a decision on the flop and I felt that Villain 2 would call for sure so I just went ahead...
About 3 hands later this happed on another table:

I almost never donk bet but I thought a nice little wussy donkbet would cause him to reraise huge and he took the bait...
