I have started to blog myself over my poker play. You seem to be at a beginner level on the poker and I think its fantastic that you have started this. You should keep it up. I remember when I first started I did not know what beats what in poker at all. I was drawing for flushes on paired boards and losing my patience all the time . You are exactly right when you say patience patience patience. It really is our greatest weapon. Especially at low levels because so many people are playing garbage and are ready to pay us off when we land a big hand. They just don't understand what beats what in poker, and we can take big advantage of this.

hope to see you blog again !!

I finally got a reply from Pokerstars and I see that it was MY mistake on the hand in question. While I hate making the mistake, it's better than finding a huge site like this is crooked
