1st I want to thank for all the fast and great replys!

Regarding my 1st hand, I was on the blind big bet and I ahd at least A and another "color" card on the flop. I don't remember if I hit the flush on the flop or on the turn though.

Regarding raises, I raise what I can. that means bet on the flop and 1 raise on the turn. It's all I can do. Maybe I'm playing with very low limits and everyone chases even if they are playing bad.

Anyway, I see the point: Don't play to passive (wich I think I might do), raise the good hands, fold the bad ones (wich I sometimes don't do, trying to call blufs that obviously don't exist) and in the long run It will turn ok. Maybe I was having a bad day
