				  Learning How to Fold
			
			
					
					
			
				
					
						After going through a pretty bad downswing I realized I was stacking off way too much when I should have known I was beat.  Also I was told this was a leak by a grinderschool instructor during a coaching session.  Here is a couple of hands from tonights session where I would normally have called.  Im more worried about the first hand.  Is it an easy fold? 
 
Villians stats are 12/5/2.5   150 hands   his check-raise stat says 0% if that matters
