I remember one time I got way too excited over a flush draw in a free online poker for beginners game. I had two hearts in my hand, and the flop came with two more. Instead of waiting for the turn and river, I bet big, trying to scare the other players off. But they kept calling, and I didn’t hit the flush. The other guy was holding a straight, and I lost all my chips in one hand. That was the day I learned patience is key when playing poker.
