    This hand the villian had been pushing on several hands and shown down quite a few marginal hands. So I knew my hand was good. I kinda knew I shouldn't have pushed post-flop with the board but I was practically pot-commited and thought there was a small possibility I might have the best hand.

    In the first hand, I lead the flop because of the draw. As played, you just got sucked out on, no big deal.

    In the second hand, I prefer to go ahead and push preflop when making any bet that's going to commit me to any flop. As played, I might like to check behind and try to get worse hands to bluff.

    It seems like you are under rolled for so I think you should move down to $5-max and work your way up from there. Never buy in short.

    I really wouldn't say i'm short, but ive been experimenting with multi-tabling and didnt want to put 10 bucks on 6 different tables until I got used to it(to minimize my losses )

    Also I play on UB so it goes from .01/.02 to .05/.10 no .02/.05
