Thank you all for the advice
I would say the coolest thing I've noticed about these boards is the newbie-friendliness, but then I saw that the man himself posted in my thread.
I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY! Seriously, though, that's awesome. It's like getting guitar lessons from Eddie Van Halen. I definitely think, after being treated to the buttkicking I've taken even at the relatively cheap tables, that no-limit is an easier game than limit. Larger bets clarify decisions. Facing pot-size bets or larger makes unlikely draws an easy fold. That seminal "Majorkong" post where the guy dumped A/3 for one bet? That was how I played. Most of the time, someone would show A/K and I'd be relieved, but when the hand ended without a showdown I just assumed someone had me beat and smiled in smug self-satisfaction for making such a "good fold." But then I folded an A/9 with an ace on the flop and the winner of the pot showed K/Q for ace-king-queen high, and I went insane. I started playing more like a maniac. The calling stations called my bad hands down and the tight/aggressive players punished me with patience. I put myself in a situation where I couldn't win. In addition, the difference between tournaments and ring games was lost on me, too. Speculative plays are okay in tourneys, since the chips aren't worth anything. But in ring games, every dumb call and every bad fold cost me money. I'm looking forward to learning more. Those bastards have $150 of my money and I want it back!
