Re: I assume they are bluffing
[ QUOTE ]
Besides that, could someone share their thought process or give advice on how I can make better laydowns? Any ideas/tricks?

1. play a shitton of hands
2. practice your hand reading skills. try to guess the players cards in hands that you aren't even involved in.
3. read as much 2+2 as you can
4. stop being scared of being bluffed. sometimes you lay down the best hand, big deal! if you want to become a great poker player stop trying to convince yourself that your opponent is bluffing when the chance he has a hand that beats yours is much more likely.
once you have a good feel on estimating your opponents range of hands given, the line he took, table conditions, table image, etc, you will be a much more complete, confident, and well-rounded player capable of making big lay downs and big calls.
becoming good at this takes time, but is well worth the effort.
