Re: Dealing with a downswing...
I think on that board, he has 8x, Jx, 99, TT a lot (and 55 occasionbally and 67/9T also)
Against 8x, Jx, 99, TT we are behind a bunch of hands because we have one of the 8's so there is more Jx hands than 8x hands. When we throw in 99/TT we are behind a lot more than we are ahead of. Also, I think a lot of people will bet with a big range of the hands we beat after we check the turn including a most Jx hands as well as 99/TT - all wanting to not give your perceived AK a free card. That is why I think a c/r is good here - because we are actually folding out a lot of hands that we do beat.
Obv against someone who never folds, this sux, but I think OP said he was a thinking player.
