*drum roll......*

whoopidoo.....

seriously, i lose 4.15 in 3 hours on the 1c table *trying* to play the 19 hands thing from aok. And everyone knows how tight that is. Anyway, it's just discouring having 6 consecutive sets beat. I won't give up, will try to learn....although I don't know what :(

*sighs*

$4.15?

In three hours you can play -- literally -- the most perfect poker anyone has ever played in the history of poker, and still lose $4.15

Don't be results oriented.

*hug*

I'm trying to learn now when to make bets and how much, and when to fold. I think my post-flop play is terrible.

Read some books, post some hands - its the fastest way to get the basics down. Learn to accept the fact that you can play a hand perfectly and still lose, but never assume you played a hand perfectly.

At the lower limits you want to make hands cheap and then bet them hard, also try to get a lot of money in pf with your big pairs. Try to draw to nut flushes\straights if its cheap, but avoid drawing to flushes\straights if the board is paired.

Did I not raise enough on the river?

Bet the flop, large. It's too draw heavy to let people play cheap. you want to get it all by the river not gat it all ON the river. So you need to bet 3/4 the pot on the turn too. If MP3 is on a draw your getting nothing on the river.

Thanks, I understand that now and will do so!
