Please don't post the HH it makes me cry.
thanks, and yes, br management is very key.

The hand in question went something like this...

somebody raised pf, somebody reraised pf. somebody bet the flop, other person pushed the flop. when the dust settled I had AA and he had KK. It was played perfectly on both ends, and if the hands were switched, he would have stacked me. The point is basically.. variance is a bitch. Play within your bankroll. I've also gone bust by playing out of my br.. maybe someday I'll share the story.

edit:
When I was significantly newer to hold 'em, I used to just one-table the games on Pacific. I started with only $5 I won from placing in a Freeroll, and really worked that number up. It got to the point where I was beating the NL400 and NL600 short-handed games fairly well (albeit under-bankrolled). As one point I would say I was crushing those games.. and probably with vpip/pfr numbers of like 50/25 (complete guess, didn't have PT.. never even had heard of it at time). I was really a lagg, borderline maniac at times. It really helps me now to get into the mind of a good lagg (havn't seen many at my level) and also helps me when I want to make a move once in a while now. Of course now when I make moves I have such fold equity due to my image and the fact that the quality of play on stars is far, far superior to Pacific.

For those interested, I only cashed out $1,000 from Pacific, and lost several thousand when I went bust. BANKROLL MANAGEMENT IS KEY - FOLLOW IT AT ALL TIMES. And don't play at games you aren't ready for.
nevermind.
