This guy's been playing very loose all night. I thought he didn't have KK. I guess it should be an easy hand to play.

what were you scared of?

Heart of a champion man! You're a fearless warrior... and that stuff...

thanks man. the thing is I haven't been playing poker for too long and I get pretty hyper when I get a good hand.

hehehe, "must be hell for your girl!" j/k

nice win

My heart rate used to jump up to 120beats/minute when I would get AA or KK, or flop a big hand.

yes, I AM looking for advice. As I said, I've only played poker for at most 6 months once a week. could you please elaborate more?

The guy was calling everything and playing every hand.

ppppsshhh, bonch, he's playing .05/.10, you're cards are as good as your raise size to them :-p

yeah, bonch... pssshhhh :-D

lol, bonch is right though, get on a table with some experienced kids and they'll know the min raise represents strength (you're trying to pull them in for more money and still keep them in the pot). You're fine for low limits, but the only time I do that same play, I'm probably bluffing
