Remember, that was the same guy who three-bet the turn in a heads up pot with just jack high and forced me to fold king high.

Two bluffers in one hand force me to fold the best hand. Is there anything I can do? I bet the flop hoping to at least get two or three people to fold and allow me to take a free card on the turn if I miss. Any suggestions? I'm down $4.50 in this session after playing 50 hands. Am I doing okay, or should I make somme changges in my play?

EDIT: On my 51st hand I won a nice pott which allowed me to claim a profit of $8.75 for this session.
