You gotta let go of these hands when they get beat by a flop. Let them go immediately, unless the pot is worth hanging around to try for late street trips. Your only bleeding away portions of your stack. Let these hands go unless there are extraordinary conditions prevailing, such as you know there are loose or recklessly aggressive people in the hand with you.

You were hoping for rags, and it didn't happen so fold and move on.
