Final Pot: t4875
I've been doing just fine stealing and I feel I've been controlling the table. Opponent hasn't called much and something tells me he has a stronger kicker. Am I being an idiot listening to "instincts" or making a good fold? Part of my reasoning was that I could later outplay everyone at the table, which proved correct as I cruised to an easy win after this fold. I hate being results oriented though so give a newbie hell for giving up the winner.

I'm pretty new to this too, but I dont really mind the fold. You wouldnt have wanted a caller in the first place, so even though you flopped top pair, I wouldnt want to make the call.

If you were the other guy, passively waiting for a hand to stand up to you with, would you have (a) called a raise with Kx (x&lt;6), or (b) pushed with a hand worse than yours? I know I wouldnt have done either...
