Well after a long learning period on freerolls etc. I finally made a $50 deposit and was fortunate enough to double my money over a short time at very low stake tables and small stake tourneys. I'm losing at times also and should really pay attention to the fact that I don't play well when tired or stressed. Here's a recent hand I had playing at a the tiniest of table stakes. I'd put about $5 at the table to start.Holdem NL ,BB-10c.

This fellow CHKRAISALLIN was one of those who bluffed a lot and liked to make the point of showing his hand everytime he did bluff. I thought if he did have the straight it was a rather excessive bet. What would you have done?
