Live Cash Game $1/$3 NL Hold Em
OK, first question. I had planned to play $1/$2, when I got to the casino the guy had lied to me saying they had $1/$2 games when I called I got there and it was only, $1/$3 and $2/$5. I had a total of $270, with $70 of it being my lunch money and smoke money. Should I have drove another 20 miles to the next casino or played here? I did play here.
OK mistake 1, I got 85o in the blind, saw the flop and had an open ended draw, I bet out $6, because they say if you have a draw bet it, to get money in the pot. Well there were total of 4 players until the raise by another player, I was open ended and re-raised I think the bet was raised from $6 to $15 and I re-raised or either called a $35 bet. The turn came and I bet another $35 got called and only 3 player total. Missed on the river card and the winner had a pair of TT.
Mistake 2 or not, I figure I learned my lesson not to loose a lot of money chasing a draw, but I picked up K2s in the blind and flopped open ended draw, well I bet like they say I bet $6, with the thought in mind that if it is raised, I am going to fold. I got 3 callers, the turn was a blank. I bet $12 the river was a blank and I folded the winner had like top pair or something. So instead of loosing $79 on a draw I lost $21, is this better?
Mistake 3, Got KK and third to bet seat four raised $15 I raised to $40 and a guy that is capable of bluffing called. The flop was 799, I was first to act or it was checked to me and I went all in.
This was not my plan I blew up. I meant to bet about the same $40 or $60 or even check to get the bluffer tricky guy to bluff at me. But I had waited so long for a hand and a win, that I wanted this pot now, why because I had KK and I feared the A. I did not want to allow those suckers the privilege of seeing another card and hit and Ace on me I would have been mad and on tilt may have even lost my entire roll.
Mistake 4 or not, I planned to play for 5 hours a day, now I think it will be 6 hrs a day. However I wanted to go see my girl, so I left 4 hours into the game instead of 5 like I planned, I had just started to win a couple of pots.
Mistake 5 I had A9o in late and I wanted to leave to see my girl. So I figure I was messing up all game long so I thought I would play this hand, well the flop came A66, I bet they tricky guy called, I thought for sure he had something I think he was wanting to bluff me but got scared or either I have a bad tell on me. How will I know if I have a problem with giving my hand away or being able to read easy? How do I work on this in live play at the casino, it is not like bar room poker live nothing like the internet. Anyway the original bet was I raised to steal the blinds $10, I think so he may have been defending anyways, I should pay more attention to what is what. I can’t remember I know I was first to act, so I could not have been so he must have already been in the pot. Anyway I felt he was tricky and wanted to bluff me out of the pot too. I don’t know I just felt like I did not get full value from the the KK, and A9o.
Mistake 6, I got KK in the small blind everyone folded around to me and the BB, I raised the big blind $10 he did not call. I did not want to let him in cheap from the BB and have him beat me with a lucky flop, so I wanted him to pay to see the flop. The players don’t like me much because I do not chop the blind, they keep saying you will either win a small pot or loose a big one. Well I am just too dumb to understand isn’t every pot won either a big one or small one?
Please help me play better poker, my life depends on it, because if not I am going to die trying. If I don’t have poker I have no hope!!!! PLEASE Help me.

Besides, the poker room manager lied to you, that in itself would have been enough for me to leave.
