There is a tide in the affairs of men

Brutus:

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–221

Last night, I missed the tide. On a hand where I was dealt AKs (ace king suited) and paired my king on the flop, I folded when an opponent bet big enough for me to put him on two pair. He won the hand with KJs (king jack suited), and all he had was a pair of kings; I would have outkicked him had I stayed in the hand. Not only did I miss out on a big pot, I had him pegged as a frisky player, and hit the rail several hands later when I had top pair and he bet big enough to put me all in if I called. Since I knew he was frisky, I did call; this time he actually had two pair. Whatcha gonna do?
