Newbie question

First off, thanks to everyone for all the contributions. I'm now starting to make some money. I kept losing at Holdem. I just don't have the stomache for the large swings in other games and I love the smaller variance of Omaha/8. Once I realized that it's not Holdem and KK83 sucks, everything clicked. There is nothing like the feeling of having an oppenent re-raising when you know that you are going to quarter him.

Last night I ended up about $40 playing two tables at .50/1.00. The money came from the very few hands that I played. I noticed on one table, I folded 20 consecutive hands preflop. Then I would get two monster hands in a short period. Is it normal to go so long without playing a hand?

Thanks.
