first of all I'm at the very beginning of being a noob at hold'em. It's awesome to have a forum like this to look up the advice of players with skills. I'm trying out 19 hands at the moment, so far it looks pretty good, but I feel that even with what I feel is strong hands I get pushed out easily postflop. Someone will raise me a lot more than I feel is prudent calling, so I fold. I know this reaction is a definite way to start losing money, but it's just hard not playing more hands too. With the 19 hands and then getting pushed off when you hit one of those hands...just feels like I'm not in the game at all.
