25NL-my play is going down the tubes.
 

I feel like a moron paying this guy off on the river. I know I'm beat, or at least suspect it, and call anyway. Anyone else have that trouble-knowing the right thing to do-but not doing it for some reason? When he called cold PF-called flop-I thought I was in trouble.

What was your read? A9, AK, flush draw set? What info do you have on villian, what do you know about his play? All these things should be taken into consideration.

You notice how he didnt put you all in. leaving you 3$? He's got ya, fold next time...

Sometimes you just have to let it go. Not really many hands you beat here that are coming out strong on the river unless the villian is just terrible.

Reload your stack preflop. With given stack (your stack), I would bet flop, bet turn and shove river.
