How the hell am I meant to...

[lamaros]

I've had to fold a few big hands today to river flushes, but I seriously didn't consider this. I know I should know better. But still. Ugh.

I'm on a $200 downswing atm and while I know most of it is just due to variance(about $80 have been mistakes), I'm wondering if I should drop back down stakes.

Maybe cutting back to two tables at a time will help my game. Rushing decisions can be too costly atm.

That's a good tip tom. That said I don't see any way in the world you can fold this river, $12 into a final $48 pot.
