Sicilian Defense: Smith-Morra Gambit 051009

Played a pretty effective game with this opening.  I'll be honest I had no idea what the name of this opening was but it seemed like the best counter to Black's Sicilian.  Having played so much chess I've had experience with what works and what doesn't against the Sicilian.  I've annotated the game so people can see my thoughts while playing.  In several situations I wonder what more experience players would do, constructive criticism is appreciated.  Thx.
