I'm pretty new I'd say at playing online poker (I'm 19, been playing for probably 3-4 months.) I started out just playing for fun and then started to really get into it over the last few months. I would say I've learned the game pretty well but have never really made a profit playing. (My 2 biggest wins are an 8.80 36 player where top prize got an entry into FTOPS #1 which I took the $205, but soon donked it off. I also won a 5.50 turbo 190 player MTT for 255ish, again soon donked it off without taking anything out.) This time around I'm really starting to (well at least trying) to have bankroll management. I recently put in $100 and have went from there. I've tried a lot of things, grinding it out at 2.25 9 player turbos, trying to play MTT's, playing way over my bankroll because I want to "hit it big" (terrible, I know..) Anyway, this time around I'm going to try bankroll management with cash games. I sat down tonight 4 tabling .5/.10 blinds putting in 5 at each (I know good BR management is to have at least $200 and put in the max) but had this hand early on..had no read on the guy. How bad did I play this and how would you play this? Thanks for the input guys..
