Am I just an idiot...

...for folding this here? Or is my current 75BB downswing (30BB this morning alone) just messing with my mind too much?

At least he was nice and just called in hand 2 instead of reraising you with second nuts. And hand 1 I'm not folding preflop, the flop I'm not folding for one small bet but after that its gone.

Tough hand.

Personally I am going to go to war on this flop. The scare hands are any PP or someone having the final T. I don't think the guy with the T would bet the flop but will give himself away calling two bets cold. Since you raised preflop you have shown strength so your raise would send out the signal you have a high pocket pair.

I don't see anyone drawing on this hand so if you are going to give out bets I think play like you have it then if played back drop like a stone. Ideally you want to nail it on the flop or turn. After that I am cutting the purse strings.

As for the other hand, god I love 0.50/1.

Sorry, reading this late at night.

I think from the way the action went I am really searching for a reason to play this and unless the SB and UTG are total yahoos (this is 0.50/1 remember!) then I am out happy to fold and collect a raked hand (if whoring). Assuming I did play I am still bailing on that flop since I got to assume I am beat somehow with thin to non-existent draws.
