Losing my cherry

A good night last nite,except my 1st game. The very 1st hand i get QQ in 2nd position,my large raise is folded round to the BB who reraises,i shove it all in and he turns over AK! obviously i'm done for when he flops his 2nd K! O well a quick $5 down the pan! I then decide to have a go with a $1 tourney for a laugh. 275 of us sit down and watch as the blinds shoot up every 3 minutes,and its a turbo event! 30 minutes later the blinds are 300/600 ffs!! I steal the blinds and get busy to have 12k and be in 11th out of 97 but then when we are on 1-1.5k blinds i go all in with A10 and lose to AK for a 60 finish. With quick blinds its really all in or fold and thats not my cup of tea!! Next up a $5 6 handed normal game,level 2 and i'm chip meister and the best player there!! No rush and the only hand i play that level is KK that matey takes on with 33,only 4 left and i,m miles in front,no way can i lose?!! Finally its heads up with me slightly behind,i get a lead then with the blinds at 50/100 i get dealt J2,i check and see a flop of 722! we both check (sneaky!) and the turn is a 4,i bet 400 which he calls,the river ia a A! i throw in 1200 and he raises all in and i call in a nano second! Boooom! my first outright win on Laddies,only $15 for 1st but its not the amount, it confirms to me that with time my game will beat these people!! Yes the cards helped but i showed patience and waited to make my moves. Time for 1 more 10 handed $5 game that pays $10 to the top 5,again i wait for the right opportunities,theres no need to risk it all,i only need to outlast half the field and i know i'm far better than 50% of the players here. Needless to say the fishy people get knocked out and in level 4 its over,my bank is at $208,a huge $5 profit but this i hope will improve next week. laterz!
