so I played a nice hand the other day. I caught a K hi straight flush on the turn at the same time the guy betting against me caught a queen hi straight flush. I'm thinking he was a bit surprised.

Same tourney I bet pocket Q and got out played when I folded to an Ace on the river with a straight draw showing, probably shouldn't have bet on the turn.

What really annoyed me was going all in with AQ and being called by someone with a K10 and having him hit his K on the river.

What did we learn from this. All in is for the nuts. When you have a big stack it's ok to push people around but ya gotta protect it as well.

This particular tourney payed the same to the top 50 places, a place in another tourney. If I had sat back and just let my cards fold for me I probably would have coasted in.

playing a lot of very small stakes limit doing pretty well building up a small bankroll and then moving to the next level. Turns out that Poker needs patience not only with the cards but with your bankroll. With 100 big bets you can absorb some mistakes and bad beats to come back and finally come out ahead. With less than 50 you cannot. OK maybe you can if you are really lucky but don't count on it.

I learned that hard and now I'm back to building my small bankroll again.
