I'm not too proud to say I was in over my head...
I had top pair and top kicker and was very nervous when the pot cleared $100 at the turn... guess I was thinking I can't affort to lose... sure I could afford to lose the one pot and have lost bigger pots than that, just the amount of the blinds and the fact it was 3-handed scared me with the potential losses....I cashout every month and only hold a bankroll that would sustain a regular 2/4 player ($500).... although it was considerably higher when I joined the 10/20... so yes, I ran like a little girl when I won that first pot.
On the other hand I have no problem putting my whole table stake into the middle at the 1/2 no limit game. Go figure eh?
I actually prefer a tighter table so A) I can limit suckouts and thus variance down. and B) pull more moves... like representing a jack in a 5/10 game when there are 3 jacks on the board and I have bupkis.... I wonder if a certain someone will remeber this hand?
On a side note, I just cannot play the 2/4 BadBeat table anymore...
I only play pairs to the flop and A suiteds at this table now... Routinely get 6-9 callers..... Just fucking sick.
