Though I want to make it clear that I don't play real money poker but enjoying the game during my past time with poker application such as the one that can be found at facebook.com, the zynga's Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
The first time I played the game, though not sure of what to do, I was able to win the pot several times with two pairs, trips and sometime full house and flush. I was able to bank my bankroll up to more than 150k. Then I was very happy.
With my addiction to the game rising, I often go all in to hands I am not sure of winning until I got my bankroll almost zeroed. With only nearly 5k left in the bankroll, I felt so weak and could not even dare play, afraid to turn the bankroll to zero.
Then I observe some players going all in whenever they have A (or A's) (of course, I only learn this at the end of every game). I copied the strategy (if it is) and play so tight and folding to hands with less potential of winning (hands without A's).
Guess what happen? I am slowly growing...
