    Sat down at a 1/2 table, usually play .10/.20 or .20/.40 but decided I wanted to be a bit more adventurous tonight. Sat down with 65, proceeded to lose my first hand: A high straight to a Q high flush hit on the river. There goes 25. Should've known that (a) it might not be my night, and more importantly, (b) I was not ready for these stakes at all at all. Proceeded to tilt my way through the lot of it. Half the time I didn't even know how much I had left... wasn't paying proper attention to the game and basically should not have been there.

    I guess that's another lesson to chalk up. Gonna stay away from the late night poker sessions for a while methinks.

    Hopefully lesson learned.

    If you don't practice proper bankroll management, you go bust, end of story.

    Bob, firstly, you shouldn't be sitting down at a 1/2 table with $65. Secondly, how did you only lose $25 with what looks like the nut straight to a rivered Q high flush. I'd say you were playing far too scared and not betting nearly enough. If betting at all.

    But as Culchie says, proper Bankroll management is a must. Do a search on this site for info, there's been loads of threads about it.
