Tight Poker

So I'm chipping around in a mixed game, and doing relatively well. I started with a bad beat, then caught a miracle card to win a nice pot, then actually won some large pots with large hands. And then ...

Nothing went to plan in the hand. I obviously figured he'd bet the flop and I'd get to touch him up a little. But then again, I thought my boat was pretty ill-disguised when I led into a four card straight with it. I was also wrong about that. Must have been more of a submarine than anything.
