Re: I made a bad fold and am beating myself up about it
There is nothing that tilts me more than making mistakes. Words can't express how angry it makes me. The only thing that can moderate that anger is by studying the hand, thinking about and running through a bunch of similar scenarios in my mind so that I am prepaired for the next time and the correct action seems natural.
Regarding this particular hand I'm not sure that your error is simply not calling the 25 for 100. Imo, your error is on the flop and turn and takes place in your mind. When he 3bets you on the flop you need to come to decisions right there. If you decide that you are drawing and think you have odds to the boat on the next card then you can call but must fold to the 2/3pot bet when the turn blanks. That's one line. The other is to decide you are in the lead and to try to get all the money in on the turn knowing that your opponent wont-and shouldn't- fold flop if you push given his probable draw so you should just push turn in position.
