      <description><![CDATA[After taking a short break from cards (and I mean short. It was less than a week, but we skipped our usual home game, which felt kinda long), my husband and I decided to head down to Belterra for a change of scenery from our usual Argosy game. A friend of ours who apparently started playing cash games emailed me early last week saying he and his girlfriend were heading down there for a Memorial Day weekend getaway and that he was sure she'd be asleep by 9 pm and that he could hang out with us in the poker room. He had played there with a couple buddies the previous Saturday night, won about $300, and then went back Sunday and won around $375. Those were his first times playing cash games. I thought that was pretty good and told him so. Obviously, he was very excited. So excited that they booked the room for this past Sunday. His excitement was contagious. It took little convincing and my husband and I were off to meet up with him and play some cards Sunday evening. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <title>Over-betting: I guess I'm a slow learner.</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, we went to our regular Thursday cash game last night. Not a horrible night for me, but it took a while to find myself with anything I'd consider playable hands. The first hour and a half were very slow going for me. Eventually, I picked up a lousy Q[s]2[s] in the big blind. I was down to around $120 or so and checked my option. I happened to flop 2 pair, made a $10 bet and was eventually able to get the rest in on the river and doubled up. The guys who play there all thought it was hilarious that I won with such an awful hand. (I'd say I'm one of the tighter players.) Ah... breathing room.

Quite a while later, I picked up 8[c]8[s]. It was limped around to me, and I followed suit calling the $3. I try to mix up my play, but usually end up limping or calling a raise pre-flop with small or middle pairs. I got lucky this time, flopping a set. It seemed like nearly everyone was in the hand still. It was checked around to me and I bet out $15. Picked up a couple callers. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[I guess I've been playing no limit hold em for a little over 2 years now. (This is my first blog entry ever, so forgive me if I ramble.) For the last several months I've been working to improve my betting skills. I really feel like that area of my game has significantly improved recently, although, I'll be the first to admit I was [i]really[/i] [[ This is a content summary only.
