Played fine until the call on the river. With 4 to a straight and the flush draw there, it's check/ fold time.

 Hardest part is leting a good hand go. I am still learning that the hard way (paying them off).

I feel the same way about ring games. I do well when I sit down and play with my friends, but when I sit down at the computer, I try and rush the game and profit right away. Sometimes I will bust out of a tourney and buy into a ring game with the remaining cash I have and then lose that because of tilt. I think I have finally pinpointed the problem and will ban myself from ring games online until I can get myself back on track. Keep in mind that I am just buying into the ultimatebet with 25 bucks at a time, but these buy-ins add up.

That's a good way to bust over and over, unless you play micro-limits like $2 NL.

There's a really sweet bankroll management thread stickied in one of these forums...
