After misplaying that last hand I went ahead and decided to see how well short handed my A7 would hold up.

What would you do here? I should have bet but I was trying to go for a reraise. A mistake.

$2 raked.
It didn’t make up for the stupid play of the previous hand, but it got me back on track. One of the most important reminders is that once you make a mistake, try and learn from it and don’t let it throw you off of your game. No matter who you are, you will make a mistake sooner or later. Just try to minimize the damage.
