I started playing Texas Holdem about a week ago. So I was doing well last night in a no-limit $1/$2 cash game. I drew a 9 and Q, and got 10 and J on the flop (third card was an Ace). I risked it and bet BIG, and a guy called my bid. I got an 8 on the turn, and no full house or 4 of a kind was possible with the cards on the table. I put it all on the line, figuring only way to get beat is if the other guy had a K-Q and beat my straight, but what are the chances of that? One in ten million?
And of course, he had K-Q, and won the hand with the higher straight. I lost $260 in one hand. I WAS ENRAGED, and I withdrew my remaining funds from Bovada.
I think I'll be taking a couple of months break from gambling. lol
