Not play such high stakes that your entire bankroll is on the table.

I'd probably call thinking if he had the straight he'd play it slower. I don't claim to be good though.

Yep, get ya cash in the middle, he is playing an overpair and wants to scare off a flush/straight draw.

As a new player I didnt know - i do now - no more higher stakes games

Only a muppet plays a straight like that, you had to call and you should be playing .25/.50- .50/1nl with a $200 bankroll

I would say 5c/10c and 10c/20c.

He had the str8 but that doesnt make the call wrong.

You are just unlucky here I feel. Most players would give you at least 1 chance to bet.

You whole bankroll at 1 table? Man that's brave! :o

I quit the table after winning 450

I am going back to MTT's and STT's

Now realise my whole poker account was at stake on that hand, and realise that aint the way to play

I have seen the light

if your bankroll is now $600 only sit with $20 infront of you at anyone time, cash games poker isnt about winning that big hit its about grinding your bankroll up slowly with the odds in your favour

once you get it to about $1k you can then think about moving up so you have $50 in front of you


also when i say dont sit on a table with more than $20 in front of you DON'T sit on a table that has a minium $20 buy in sit on a table where the MAXIMUM buy in is $20
