Poker Junkie

I don't know if the angles I see are correct, but this is what I think, and that's why we all play different. This is the story of a Poker Junkie.

Worst play ever

I usually post some of the good plays I do, but I was pretty upset with the play I made so I'm gonna post, to let you all know, yes, I do make mistakes.:) Anyway, I was playing the $2-$5 No Limit game at the Palms (the 5-10 wasn't going), when I picked up the 24 suited, and limped in middle position. The flop was 6 handed, and was T83, two clubs. We checked to the button who bet $15, three people called in front of me, and I raised it to $80. The semi-bluff almost worked, until the loose, big stack guy called, at least I had position. The turd was a blank, and he checked, I bet $120, and he called. The river was another blank, and he checked to me. I was arming up another $120 to fire, until I saw him shoot a glance at my stack, and pulled $200 from his stack (how much I had left). So I thought for a second, and gave up. He turned over J9 for Jack high to take down the $400 plus pot, disgusting.
Obviously it was a bad play. I had the nut low. I have shot three barrels so often in no limit, that I talked myself out of it. Even if he did have a hand, and looked as though he was going to call, I still should've made him make a decision. There's no way I can bluff the whole time and give up when it counts. A few hands later I busted with pocket jacks to pocket queens, and the guy who I gave my chips to was in the hand with pocket sixes. He was a pretty bad, loose player. Gotta love the Palms. But no worries, I ended up reloading, and booked a winning session. I blocked the bad play out, and played much better. Whew.
