As the subject suggests i am a fair donk. I will tell you a little bit about myself and what i want to do.
As i start this blog i have around 200US in my account.
I am studying psychology at uni.
Im 24 and been playing poker for 3 years.
I am an ex poker dealer in the best Australian casino.

Ok there is a little bit about myself.
The reason i think i am a donkey is because i make alot of calls that i should not be making when i have alot of chips deep in a tourney or sit n go. for example i have AJ off and i have 22k in chips. blinds are 500/1k. An all in for 8.5k and i call, knowing damn well that we are just out of the money and they have AK... and they do 90% of the time.

Ok so my goal is to get my bankroll up to 1kUSD then up to 5kUSD. i would like any advice as i go on how i played my hand or what i did wrong

ok so i started the day with 200US
played rush poker 50c/$1
i know i am play high money for my bankroll but i tend to play too many hands on lower limits because i think o well its less than a dollar to call, i need a way to change my thinking on this and some suggestions would be nice
anyway i finished my session with 217.52US
i had worked my way nicely up 390 and then lost 2 big hands. :f_eek:
First the winning hands
i won a big hand with AA against AK
i raised pre flop and got reraised.
the flop came KQ7 2 dimonds
i bet the pot and 2 dollars more
he raised
i called
next card 6 of dimonds
i check he goes all in
at this stage i have the ace of dimonds and find it strange that he would raise then jamm on the flush so i call
of course he has AK and i win the pot

the hands that i lost
I had AQ of hearts and call a raise i am big blind
the flop comes 910A with 2 dimonds
i bet the around 10 dollars since the pot was about 8
he calls
next card a jack of clubs giving the board 2 clubs and 2 dimonds
he bets 18 and i call
the next card is a 2, a dead card in my eyes
i bet 18 again he jamms for 57 and the pot was 67
i tank and tank and end up calling to see he has 78
what can i do here to avoid this??
as soon as i had the big losses i left the table to avoid tilting and gettin into situations where i would loose more money.
but my biggest worry is how to avoid this big pots that i tend to loose, and i know there is going to be massive variance in my bankroll because im playing such high limit but i still want to avoid the big pots, winning them is good but loosing them is a killer at this point
