    Default Anything wrong here?

    I've dropped $40 on .05/.10 today and I'm wondering if it's all just down to some unlucky breaks, or if I'm making mistakes.

    PokerStars Game #2494831072: Hold'em No Limit ($0.05/$0.10) - 2005/09/04 - 09:42:11 (ET)

    Seat 4: Mardagg ($11 in chips)
    Seat 5: xrunr ($22.05 in chips)

    Seat 7: r3in (small blind) showed [Tc Ts] and won ($14.20) with a full house, Tens full of Aces


    I felt the guy way playing the straight, same as me, but might have been with two pair, so I pushed it.

    racebannon12 said, "your big hands are traps"
    racebannon12 said, "from now on, play only 72, then fold after flop, it's ssafer"

    Needless to say I stopped playing shortly after

    For this hand, since you got to see your straight for cheap, your play is fine. On the river, I would have pushed all in as well, as anyone with a hand that you beat has little no folding equity left after that bet, and you do have a hand that is worth of pushing with.

    Reraise, you played it right.

    He is just trying to make you tilt.

    I just reciently ended a nasty downswing myself.

    You can start second guessing yourself... You can start playing scared or tilting in other ways so keep an eye on yourself... It can be hard to keep raising big with your set after the 10th time in a row that you lose to runner-runners... but just stay on game and keep at it.

    Q. Is poker Gambling?
    A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

    Fold preflop.

    Played well to river, river is an automatic push.
