Final Pot: $17.75

* THE FLOP: Villain Checks. I bet $15. He puts me all in for like $23 more or so... I call.

** Villain stats are 24%/ 6%

*** Did I go too far here? I just can not seem to get a handle on this NL game. I am making transition from L to NL, and I am getting beat for all my chips like this too dammm often. what am i doing wrong??? my tracker stats are pretty good (using standard recommendations: 18%/ 7%/ 1.2

I do not call raises pre-flop very much...I play pretty aggressively. But I seemt to get broke by some trap like this pretty much every time I play. It is very frustrating, and saddening as I want to learn this game.

What can I do??

Gah, I really don't like this. You're really only beating AJ here and it's a pretty unlikely hand for villain to have. I can see villain having AA/KK/JJ here like 90% of the time.

yah he had KK. I was thinking AJ, and thus the call. What should my thought process be in scenarios like this (i.e. what variables should I consider here when playing this hand?) Was the pot sized bet from me ok?

And what is a link to a new converter. BISON's seems to be screwing up all my posts when there is an all in.

thanx
