The turn is a Q and the river is a Q. You realize that this is nearly the worst possible beat (based on your equity when the money went in) that you can take in no limit holdem (you were a 99.899% favorite on the flop). Immediately after the Q hits the river, you have critical decisions to make on three of your other tables.

What does this have to do with walking through traffic?
even if you can walk through traffic 99.9% of the time, it's still a horrible idea to try?
