Second day, and things have gone pretty well. I felt a lot more relaxed today, and a lot more able to let weaker hands drop this time. I probably won only as much as yesterday, it's just I didn't lose anywhere near as much. There was one hand that I almost fell into the same trap as last time, but fortunately this time I was able to let it go, and thus save myself from probably losing about $3 in one go.
I thought I made more of my good hands today as well. I've put the hand history for a hand I liked below.

In this hand, I didn't really have much at the flop, just a bottom pair, and if oldfellow had but in a large bet I would have ducked out. But I thought for the minimal amount he was betting it was worth seeing the turn and then the river. I reckoned I had a chance if either a king, another four, or two clubs-suited came out.
When the third clubs came out on the river for the flush, I decided to check/raise, counting on oldfellow being consistent and raising. Once he did I put in a fairly reasonable bet, not wanting to scare him off. When he re-raised, and then called my re-raise, I was sure he must have had a flush too, and thought we'd be splitting the pot. Sucks to be him, though because his set of Aces just didn't cut it.
To be honest, I don't think has anyone to blame but himself for making those pathetically low bets and so giving me a chance to see the river. I've noticed that there are a few people that seem to play the game without seeming to know how to use the bet slider. They'll have a great hand, and when you raise a large amount they'll call or re-raise it, but when they bet it will always be the minimum (the amount that shows up on the 'Bet' button before you move the slider.
Anyway, it was a fun morning, and I feel like I'm making progress.
This month's profit: $7.19

just like to point out that you woudn't have split the pot if he'd have had a flush it goes on the highest card/second higehest/third and so on. Only way a flush can be a split pot is if you both play the board and it has 5 clubs higher than any in either of your hands.

Ahh, I thought it was just on high card, and there was the Ace of Clubs in play. I would have won anyway then, since I was holding Kc.
