Which the thread title doesn't mention....

I presume he thought that someone wouldn't be silly enough to ask the question if the board was as you described it?

Hi Everyone - First post here

I'm new to this forum and online poker (and really poker in general) and I am looking for a bit of advice and help and I am told that this forum is the best place to get it !!

I have only really played games with my mates before but have got good results and wanted to give poker a "proper" try.

I have a bankroll of $1000 to start with and would like some advice on the best way to proceed in trying to become a winning player. I will probably have to post some hands in the hand analysis section. I would like to learn to play cash games, can anybody help me with the best site to play on and how I should start out?

Hope some people can make suggestions.

Come on guys - this is a new player looking for advice.  Telling him you want to hit him or that his post has put you on life tilt is hardly helpful - give the lad a break eh?

I lost the hand history to this one somehow but I'll try to explain it. The game is 25c/50c on Ipoker (10 Man). I was sitting with just over $50 and the other player in the hand was just under $50.

I get dealt  and there is a raise before me (to $2) I call and everyone else folds the flop comes down

 

The other player bets out ($4 into a $4.75 pot) I call - Might be a mistake here.The Turn comes

He bets $8 I raise to $20 and he moves all-in - I call, he shows JJ and more than less stacks me. Bottom set on this board? Is there much that moves all-in at this level that my hand actually beats? The only reason I ask is that I had a strong feeling that the guy had a set but could not bring myself to fold this - I am right to call in this spot?

Gotta go bust. Could have A-A, K-K, Q-Q, A-J, K-J.
