I'm a n00b.

Last night I was playing about the 19 hands in a $4.40 180 player game when there were 24 players left (payof is 18 and below). I drew a KT with position, thought it was time to pick on a short stack, and tried bluffing a guy out of the pot. Ended up pushing him all-in, and he called with A2 (A on board). Checked my notes after the hand and yep, he was a total noob calling station who didn't know how to fold.

He made the money. I didn't.

Stupid mistake? Yep. It's what us folks new to poker do on occasion as we start to think we know more about the game than we do.

I find that more often than not, tight is right. And the 19 hands strategy is pretty much the best definition of tight that I've seen.
