Re: How do you avoid not losing a lot of money on this hand?
I think you played it fine and many players here would have lost more than you did. Sometimes you just have to pay the piper. Folding to the cap on the turn would be a mistake as you have the best hand quite a bit here. Just be happy SB realized he was in trouble or else showing this down might have cost you more.
It doesn't really apply here but I have a little rule of thumb that I use. It states that if someone goes icky palooky capping every street and JT makes the nuts, they usually have it... JT must be the most overplayed hand in HE. I rarely do anything with this rule as I still pay off like a slot machine on a cruiseship but it really is true.
