Default Re: Folding loosers in big pots

ok, one more today.
I'm having a pretty bad run of cards and I'm down 2bi allready. And here comes this [censored]:

** Game ID 1453259015 starting - 2007-06-20 20:35:59
** Flensburg [Hold 'em] (0.25|0.50 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money

- Sutsku sitting in seat 1 with $48.95
- shavilman sitting in seat 2 with $108.42
- Gungam sitting in seat 3 with $50.00
- mikthig sitting in seat 4 with $27.42
- d_clubs sitting in seat 5 with $47.50 [Dealer]
- robinghood sitting in seat 6 with $33.70

robinghood posted the small blind - $0.25
Sutsku posted the big blind - $0.50
** Dealing card to Gungam: Qc, Qd
shavilman called - $0.50
Gungam raised - $2.50
mikthig folded
d_clubs folded
robinghood folded
Sutsku folded
shavilman called - $2.50

** Dealing the flop: Ts, Qs, 5d - like wow, nuts, isnt it nice???
shavilman bet - $2.87
Gungam raised - $7.00
shavilman called - $7.00

** Dealing the turn: Kc
shavilman checked
Gungam bet - $14.00
shavilman called - $14.00

** Dealing the river: 9c

Typically the situation I'm unable to fold. He pushes, I call with 3:1 and my top set and he shows Js5s obv
I'm getting sick with this.

Realize that you got half your money in good, and half your money in bad, thus making this a neutral EV hand. However, villain is going to make this flush much less often than half the time so in the longrun this is +EV.

FWIW you played it fine (though raise a little more on, flop), and only fold this river if villain is super passive, if ever.
