New to this so please bare with me. Was in 1/2 live cash game yesterday. I've been playing here for almost a month now. Been keeping track of my winnings and my losses. I've been reading a lot and trying to apply what I read into my game. The table has some pretty decent players but mostly loose/passive. There are some people there in which its easy to make money from. I want to get better at this game and eventually make some money on the side. I enjoy this game a lot. I'm pretty patient and I'm learning to pick my spots and try to play position a lot. I observe the table and I'm learning how to take my time and think, putting my opponents on ranges etc etc when its my turn to act post flop. Ok here's the scenario. I know I messed up here but this time I'm going to admit that I got impatient and a little frustrated. I just need hard constructive criticism. You could even tell me that I suck, as long as you give me some advice as to how to get better.
The night was up and down for me. Folding to other people when they had the nuts and I had a straight etc. They would be surprised as to why I folded instead of calling and paying them off. The hand would even get confirmed because they would show after. Anyway, I was getting frustrated. One guy kept raising preflop $6. So I decided to play back at him in the BB. I had 8h4h lol. I reraised to $14. I had reraised before like this with a strong hand and took it down on the flop. So I figured they were paying attention, bad timing. UTG calls, the original raiser calls as well and the button calls as well. Everyone else folds including the SM.
Flop comes out Kh 3h 8c. I had about $105 left. I bet $15, UTG reraises to $55 altogether. Button moves all in with his remaining $90. I put both of them on Kings. Me being frustrated and wanting to gamble, I pushed all in as well. Turns out they both had Kings. AK and KQ. My hand didnt improve. I kicked myself after I left for making a move like that. I'm pretty down. Any advice on not making plays like this? Again this is my second post, I'm new here. Please help lol
