20 dollar loss in poker

[bballperson]

I titled that in a non-vague fashion because this is a night to remember. I have definitely learned a poker-related lesson tonight. Never buy back in. And stop playing so goddamn loose. Wait for some actual good cards. Goddammit

Don't worry about poker tonight man. Sometimes you lose. And don't say never buy back in. I bought in a second time tonight and ended up more than doubling my money. Don't take a break because you'll get out of the groove.

I suppose that's true. And $20 isn't that much... I just can't let momentum fuck me over... it's probably a rare thing, but when it does happen, boy does it ever suck wiener.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

random reader..if you're still new and unexperienced you should make sure to be playing with people around the same skill level as yourself and maybe just play with 5 dollar buyins. My little brothers plays regaurly with his friends and i dont even think he plays 20 buyins. and if you're really serious about the game i hear there are some really good books out there about playing that help a lot.
Don't be too down about making bad bets. Most People usually lose their money because they dont know when to fold so its a pretty common thing. :)
www.freepoker.com is a pretty good site to play on too if you're bored online.. its not really the same thing playing for fake money on the internet with people you aren't really around, but if you make the most of it it can help.

I mean. It's hard to explain, man. I just played too loose. I felt invincible because I had been winning lately. And it was two 10 dollar buy-ins. I usually play much more conservatively until I get a good hand so I was just being retarded last night.
