Trade secrets on the table are held tight to your chest. With $40 I played a 3-6 hold'em game. I lasted 3 hands. I feel I played them correctly at first but meditated on my plays on the drive home.

My first hand was 5d, 6d the flop came (10d, Qs, 9d), some one raised, I called. (-$6; $34 chips), 4th street flopped a (3c) another raise, another call (-$12; $22 chips). 5th street (7h), I made a flush, another raise, another call (-$12; $10 chips)

I knew the raiser had a flush, I feared the raiser had an Ace and X of hearts. The bad beat wiped out 75% of my chip stack.

The next hand, cost me (-$3; $7 chips), not to play.

The hand that killed me was (As, 3c), the flop was (Ah, 7c, 5d); I spiked my Ace, I bet (-$3; $4 chips), there was a raise (i went all in )(-$4, $0 chips) and was out gunned with (Ah, 8d), a better pair.

 
Analysis
$40 only gave me 3 plays, because of the outs I perceived with the flop.

What I did Right
I took advantage of my hand the best I could, I had one out for a straight flush (8h) and outs for a made flush of hearts. I was able to correctly assess that I was up against another heart flush.

What I did Wrong
When the (7h) dropped on the river, I knew I had no chance on a straight flush, even with the flush I had, I should of folded and save half my chip-stack.

Lesson Learned:
Bad beats (you have a winning hand but is beat by a better one) do give you the best experience than suck outs (you have the better hand)
