I limp with something, others limp behind, bb makes some raise that's much too small to chase me out, so I call, everyone else calls, five to the flop. Flop is ace high and I have some sort of a draw at something. BB bets some amount, I call, everyone else folds. Turn is a blank and BB checks, so I take the pot.

Sorry for the lack of detail... you can still follow the logic behind the hand without it though. I call on the flop because I have a strong draw, any my opponents absolutely hate folding, so there's no point in raising. I figure someone must have an ace. But everyone folds and the preflop raiser checks the turn, at which point I realize that he doesn't have (or can beat) an ace and assumes that I have it.

I think the best advice I can give u is play the hand your opponent put you on. The above hand is a great exemple of that.

I also had trouble whit bluffing early in my "poker carrer". I was playing to tight and not bluffing enough. That also lead to not getting full value off my strong hands. I started to memorize how individual opponent were reacting to my play on hand I was strong but could'nt get paid. Then, when the situation was right and I knew I could represent a stronger hand, I started picking up a lot of pots.

my 2 cents
