Thank you-- this helps a lot. Pot control-- I wasn't sure what to call my feeling of looking back at that hand and saying to myself "Damn, I just bet > 1/4 of a buy-in on the river with TPWK. That can't be good."

And if I did have the straight, there's no way I'm getting paid off. Classic newb play of winning the least and losing the most.

Thanks again.
