I'm having a bad losing streak atm and just wanted to see if my game is part of it.

I might have just limped instead of raising preflop. I think I bet pot-size that scary flop. On the turn, if Villain has me beat, he has me beat, no one folds top two pair at a $6.

[Sykes]

I would have asked for my money back and joined an $11.

lastchance,
I guess I agree I should of betted more on the flop to scare him away from his draws.

Sykes,
Yes I know rake is horrible at this level. But I don't have the bankroll to play the $11s

Then play at stars. There is absolutely no reason you should be a slave to party's rake when there are other sites out there.
