I didn't scan through everyone's posts but I am sure they have covered how bad this hand is.

I'm just going to add one thing. In no-limit games there is a little box (or scrollbar) which you can type (or drag) in any amount from the BB to the size of your stack before you bet/raise. You should learn to use these [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The joke is that you reraised the river, while thinking it would be a split pot, which is simply asking to get your whole stack picked off.

edit: (the whole hand needs help, I was just stating the should-be obvious).

same mistake as above, but much worse. You see why, right?

After reading all the other post I think that I see why. My little sissy bet put no pressure on my opponent. I was basicaly begging him to come along with me to the river and out draw me, which he did.

For me that would not be a walk, it would be a marathon!

This gets better and better. It's a good beat post.

Sorry he did not out draw me. He was ahead the whole hand and I was not smart enough to figure it out. Wrong word.

Now that we have that straight, what I was getting from the post here was to make a good size bet to play NL, and to not allow others to draw out on you.
