Ever regretted folding hands before flop?

Someting in poker which applies for real life as well: no regrets for the past. Move on

I regret timing out KK lol... Iggy needs auto bank!!

Only once to be honest. I had some trash hand Q2o UNG i believe and the flop was QQQ and 3 players just jammed the flop. OHHH that would have been pretty. Strangely enough this was in a home game. We were introducing my new daughter when the hand happened and my wife took a picture just after the flop of me and Stephanie. I did not have a good poker face in the picture but the picture of us is on my desk at work.

To be honest I dont ever really worry about it. If I made the correct play I should not worry about what could have been. Making a mistake and getting paid for it is not goo poker playing.

Well I remember a hand where I did the normal thing of folding 27offsuit and then seeing the flop was 277, but it's not like that's a hand you can just casually call a 10BB raise with.

Only way I play crap hands is if I'm the big blind vs very passive players that don't raise.

Of course, I have regretted this many times. In addition, I had moments when I folded the pairs that I had on the turn, since the flop showed all the cards more than mine, and then my four of a kind or a full house came.

Yes and most of end up being strights

It happens all the time.
I'll have trash hole cards, i'll fold it preflop and then hit my trash cards on the flop.

Not pre-flop, reason why you folded. If there is going to be second guessing, it will be post-flop and that doesn't happen often. Move on to the next hand regardless.

Of course. It always hurts to fold a weak or marginal hand only to catch something strong on the flop or by the river.

This is the reality of poker though, you can not focus on the result, you have to focus on how you played the situation. And if folding was the right decision statistcally speaking, you can't be mad and you should still come out on top long term.

srurrr · Jun 17, 2021

Yes.But It's no use regretting about it.

Rahatis · Jun 17, 2021

Only in case of a missclick.

Every poker player has probably experienced this before and mostly not just once. But if I fold Q2 preflop and the flop brings QQA then I don't regret the fold preflop. If I played Q2 all the time, I would almost certainly make a long-term loss because I get a kicker problem too often. That's why it's okay

Jadeyt92 · Jun 17, 2021

Yep. All the time.

terryk · Jun 17, 2021

Nope,,,once i make a decision,i lock into it.

no regrets.

PatriceM915 · Jun 17, 2021

Wow, yes several times and then it gets really angry

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Jun 17, 2021

hello

if it has happened to me many times unfortunately !!! one for protection or to take care not to lose chips makes that more mistakes when it is not so much to pay !!!

mina271 · Jun 17, 2021

No not really. If I folded a scrap hand preflop then it doesn't matter if the hand would have won. You have the choice either to play the hand or to fold and if you fold then the story is over. I regret it much more if I played and knew I was going to lose

Have you ever regretted folding hands before seeing the flop?

Of course it happens to me very often, I always think that I do not have such a strong hand, but when I drop and a flop appeared I regret very much! But I really like it when then you walk the tern and river and my hand would be really weak, that's when I am very happy and praise myself for throwing this hand, emotions are indescribable, I think everyone came across this!

dregan · Jun 22, 2021

Well, it probably happens to everyone. But it still doesn't make sense to call with a small hand. I don’t do this if this is not the beginning of the tournament and the blinds are small.

Never.

Each one knows with what cards or with what type of opponent to make that move, and if the Flop, Turn or River cards do not support, that is something else.
