This is my first post but have been visiting this site for a couple weeks now. First of all thanks to everyone who posts and runs this site. You guys I believe are a great help. I started playing a couple weeks ago and think I may be a little too tight. Check this out. I think I should of either gone all in or raised big here but I didn't have absolute nuts and have gotten screwed with nuts a few times and I couldn't forget it. I'm not sure if it matters if we post the real names here or not but I didn't want to take time changing all names other than mine so if I'm not supposed to just delete this post and email me please :P !! Thanks

Previous Hand - I'm sure I completely screwed this one too considering I had the nuts and went in probably way too much and folded everyone out. It could of worked good because I was congratulated on a nice bluff and I just said thanks playing on it. The hand under this one is the very next hand and the one I probably could of gotten the most money out of of. Thanks for any input I receive.
