Just one buy-in and most likly you will double up quickly. you'd be suprised what people will call with to chase dreams.

The turn brings a ten of diamonds, doesnt really do much unless somebody has AQd, but you still want to be betting here for value. You have no reason to believe your aces arent good here, bet between $2 and $3.

I found a post where someone said thqt once you buy in that's no longer your money, it's your job to take the other persons money with your chips. And this is a quick little thing I do "if" I can to break out of the funk of that kind of play.
