[Tommy Angelo]

At the moment you fourbet the river, if you were doing anything with your mind other than anticipating a fivebet, then you misplayed the hand.

If you had been totally focused on him and the hand, then you would have had a chance to fold. Because you weren't ready, you had to start all over, and that allowed a lifetime of thinking and worrying to creep in and ruin everything you had worked for.

It's okay and normal to be unprepared to play when you have pocket kings and you make kings full and somebody else is raising too. When you can silence the cards and money, at the very moment when they are screaming loudest at you, then you can fold in peace.
