How's it going everyone? My name is Brent and I have been playing poker, (specifically no limit hold'm) for about 6 months now. I have been doing pretty good with some friends I play with, but today I played with a new group of friends and got beat pretty bad. I ended up losing only $10, and I was the second person out of eight to leave the table. How can I prevent this from happening in the future? This post is mainly to get this off my back but I also would appriciate any helpful tips. Thanks alot.
