I would do it again
I fired up the laptop and settled in for a relaxing night of online poker.
The first game I logged into was a Texas Hold-em Freeroll on UB. I was pretty card dead for the first half hour, so I made a few steals when I was the button and my stack remained pretty much the same. I was dealt pocket kings finally and made a standard 3 x raise - I was under the gun which wasn’t exactly the most ideal position, but I did get one caller. The flop came K 10 8 rainbow. I checked, he bet into me and I simply called. The turn brought a 10, giving me a full house. He went all-in, I simply called and of course I won that hand! The very next hand I was dealt 10-10. There was a raise before me, I pushed all-in, and two people called. One guy ended up having J-J and the other guy had A-K. An Ace came on the flop, so I lost that hand and I was crippled. I went all-in the very next hand, mostly because I was pissed off. I ended up losing. I still feel that I played those hands pretty well, I’d probably do the same thing again.

Don’t mean to sound too critical. That first hand was a thing of beauty. Now you see a raise and you went all in with TT. Ouch! You elected to play big pot poker with a marginal hand. It was a fold or raise but an all in takes away all options. Had you reraised and had the AA come over the top big, it was an easy hand to dump. Even if there’d been slow play and a call, you could have got off the hand when the A came on the flop without more damage.
