The Poker Hand I Would Play Differently Today

Looking back at some of my poker sessions, there are hands I remember because I won a huge pot, and others I remember because I made a clumsy mistake, the mistakes I won't repeat today. 

The funny part is, it's often the losing hands that teach you the most lessons.

There's one situation that comes to mind whenever I think about how much experience can change the way you approach poker.

This hand taught me a lesson. 

I literally just joined in on a poker cashgames table and the first card I was dealth with was Pocket Queens I was excited and thought if this hits I could make quick bucks from it not knowing it was a trap.

Without thinking twice I went all in before the flop and then a player called all in also while others folded. The card flipped and I saw he had Pocket Ace and at that moment I knew I've made a huge mistake.

I definately learned my lesson here and now I know best not to try and gamble my way into making quick bucks with poker. I've learned to be strategic and it's what I'll be implementing in my game today.
