Sturgeon's Law

What was the misplay?
 

I was so pot-invested in a hand that when I guy with a much smaller chip stack than mine went all-in, the pot odds were so good that I should have called regardless of what two cards I had (and I did have some outs). Knowing he was ahead of me at the time he went all-in, I folded.
 

Groan. That's exactly the type of thing I would do. Still, don't forget: you kept your money.
 

I remembered I also made a really dumb play raising with pocket 4's when there were callers behind me. Ah well, live and think a little more.
 

Have you read McManus' book (Positively Fifth Street)? I'm guessing that you have. It's good.
 

steven, how do i get involved in this online poker stuff? do i have to be any good? are there more amateur slots? i'm always looking for another bad habit. :)
 

Jenni:

There are a lot of poker sites that do a pretty good job of easing beginners into things, with tables where you can play with fake money to help you learn without losing the real stuff. I'd recommend reading a few tutorials on Texas Hold 'Em first before you even get to that stage. It's fun, and if you decide to play for real money, there are low-stakes tables at most of the sites. I played on PokerStars for a long time, but I just switched to Full Contact Poker.
 

I've been playing the party poker. I'm not very good. In fact, I suck! I just keep getting bad hands. I don't know that i have the luck for poker. Maybe my bad luck is lucky for me (and my savings account).
