In my opinion, by no means an expert, it's tough to play at a casino when you don't have the funds...I won't either when I go to play but the 1st time is going to be the recreational/have fun/get acquainted with style. I will play seriously but I am not going to be pressured into keeping my money. That way, I have fun, don't play scared, and learn some more about live poker. You did make some great plays though in my opinion.
