One thing I want to add
I'm not sure why most people that responded have the impression that I was letting John blow me off my hands. In fact, the opposite was probably more true for the session. I was probably calling him down too much on the river (and he was doing a good job of value betting).
Many of our hands throughout the night had me leading on the flop w/ the best hand, leading the turn, and check-calling the river w/ a hand that was no good by that point. Its just sort of the way things were going last night, and I'm sure in almost all of my hands John thought I was checking the river w/ the intention of calling. Because of the many hands we played against each other throughout the night, John would be crazy to think that my river check in this hand meant there was a good chance I was folding to a bet.
So w/ a little more background, is folding still so bad?
