So I have the book and I've read about half of it (I am a fast reader) and I'm making a cheat sheet as I go to get laminated.

I still don't think I played that hand as badly as you all make out. Yes, I lost. Yes, it cost me but it's not like I checked the damn thing to the river.

It is obvious to respected posters in this thread that:
a. You dont understand basic gambling and poker-related concepts.

and

b. That you played the example hand poorly.

You can disagree, but people who play higher and have more experience seem to think you are wrong. If you want advice great, but it seems to me like you either want pity for your bad luck or you are already expert (miles ahead of us) and we would only hold you back.
