TJ,

Never posted here before but have been reading a while and following your progress. I play at your level and have experienced some of the same problems as you. Been getting the urge to post lately and something about your recent experience at 25NL made me feel compelled to post.

YOu certainly had some tough beats recently but it seems to me you should have been able to get away from a couple of those. I read antonio Esfandiari's book here a while ago, and while it was nothing special, one thing stuck out in my mind. He says you make money at this game by learning how to fold.

I think what he's trying to say is, you'll get your big hands and get paid off on them but don't then turn around and give it back when your on the flip side. For example, what hand were you expecting to beat with the quad jacks? He reraised you pf , called your flop bet and just kept coming. Did you think he had AK?

Not trying to bust you or anything. Wishing you the best of luck. Just thought these thoughts might help.
