The one that got away?

The most memorable hand of last night's session was one that I laid down, which would have won had I held onto it. So at first glance, it seems to have been the one that got away. But was it? Here are the details: I was dealt AJo (ace jack offsuit) and flopped a pair of jacks. I had top pair, top kicker. However, an opponent bet big enough for me to put him on two pair, so the right thing to do, given my read, was to fold. I got to see his hole cards, since he and another player went to showdown. He won the hand with a pair of jacks with a worse kicker than mine. My verdict? I made the right play. If you can't trust your reads, you shouldn't be making them to begin with.
