Default This Is Why I Hate NL

Last Friday I played in a NL cash game with a local group of poker players. It was $1-2 with $100 max buyin. I was doing okay but later lost my stack when I played a hand like I would in limit.

I planned on going back next week because I had fun. I didn't want to blow $100 again though so I figured I'd play some NL this week and try to get back into the swing of things. Everything was going pretty well untill :

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (8 handed) converter

MP2 ($40.55)
CO ($23.97)
Button ($61.75)
SB ($45.5)
Hero ($43.25)
UTG ($79.55)
UTG+1 ($45.05)
MP1 ($46.35)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, MP2 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, SB calls $41.25.

Flop: ($45.75) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: ($45.75) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: ($45.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $45.75

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has Kh As (flush, ace high).
Hero has Kc Kd (three of a kind, kings).
Outcome: SB wins $45.75. </font>

:sigh:

No wonder I left NL to play Limit. The guy actually had the nerve to say to me that I made a bad raise preflop. Like calling that raise with AKo was better.
