I sure as hell didn't. Certainly with 1/3 blinds you're playing too tight.

California rakes suck. If you're playing the game I think you're playing, it's only beatable at really good tables.

Bet the flop or turn usually. Given the stack sizes, I think the pre-flop raise is marginally bad.

Got a read? Bet at least $40 on the flop. You might have been able to get away from this. Checking the flop also would have been reasonable.
