Well that wasn't exactly the point i meant, but i know that situation pretty well, when you "feel lucky" with suited crap on late position and figuring out to go out of your range to vary your play, but then slap yourself on the wrist and still fold. And then you see something like that, what you wrote. I was always hating to see that before, but once upon time i have read a book "Harrington on Hold Em", where Dan Harrington wrote a fundamental point of view at such situations, he basically wrote, that your hand exists only, when you have it in play. But since the moment you fold, it is not exist anymore. That's it. It really matters only this moment now and this situation on board and bets. There can be coming anything from the deck, but you suppose to make right decision considering current situation. And if you made a right fold, but later would have make nuts and win a big pot. You still have made a good fold. Cause on a distance, if you be calling with that hand/situation, it is -EV call and will cost you a lot of money. So don't need to feel bad if you notice you could win big at the end of hand. In poker can happen anything. 
I got used to that great point of view "forgetting your hole cards after fold instantly" and i recommend the same to everyone! That will keep your emotions calm and preserve you from tilt. :deal:
