I'm going to fold, but there's one more mental exercise I'm going to perform before I throw the hand away. I ask myself the Big Picture Question: "Is there any way he could have played his hand this way with a hand worse than mine?" Maybe my answer is "No." In that case, I'm certainly right to fold now.
Using one type of reasoning, I've determined that his hand is much better than mine. Using another type of reasoning, I've also determined that his hand can't possibly be worse than mine. Putting the two together, it's a cinch I'm beat.
I want you to go back and look at what could be called the tempo, or cadence, of the hand you just analyzed. Before the flop it was bet-raise-call. After the flop is was bet-raise-reraise and then (after analyzing the hand) fold. I want you to know that ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the after-the-flop action would have been bet-raise-reraise-call. Instead it was bet-raise-reraise-fold
Have you ever seen anyone raise and then fold when it was reraised, when he had to call only one more small bet to see the next card? Who folds after he has raised and has to call only one bet to see the next card? You do, that's who! If you're beat, and you know it, then there's absolutely no reason you should call another bet this hand. Too many players will call that last reraise because it happens so quickly and they don't give it too much thought.
Don't fall into the trap of making automatic plays just because you're in the middle of a heated contest. Your raise served its purpose-you found out what you wanted to know about your opponent's hand. It's only one hand, so let it go. Take comfort in the fact that you're saving a bet where you know other players would be losing that bet and subsequent ones.
