yeah, guess I’ve got to grow a pair ! I think a kinda got lost in the hand as I was only expecting a call or a fold on the flop. then with the raise I was paralyzed and didn’t know where I was and probably too focused on what could beat me. but good to get firm confirmation that I was most probably ahead. thru the fuzz I kinda knew it was a weak fold but in the moment was unable to maintain clarity of mind and then commit to my assessment / read. will endeavor to plug this leak … thanks for the input.
