Re: I just lost $400 on this hand - and I deserved to lose!

You would have chucked it, really?

depends, but really the cold-caller has me more concerned. you said these guys were good players, and generally, a good player won't call on a draw when the preflop raiser is still to act and is pretty likely to raise. i don't know what he has, but between his call and the lead guy showing strength (which is a hand that beats you at least as often as a weaker A), i don't think there's anything wrong with dumping this. mix in the fact that you'd only be able to rebuy for $200 and i think i'd rather save playing a big pot for a hand bigger than TPTK.
i think once you see his JJ you can lower your opinion a couple notches, but it still turns out to be a "made" hand rather than a draw.
and again, this is all read dependant...if i had a read that they were both on weaker made hands, then i'd push. against good players though, that won't be often.
