How many times in your poker career have you folded a hand like this?

Never. Why would anyone fold a Royal Flush?

Maybe people have folded something that would have ended up as Royal Flush. Is that what you meant?

If I have I didn't notice.

Something like fold Qs 4d pre flop. Flop is As, Ks, 10s. Turn Js.

Fold royal flush is like preparing food and not eating until you die of hunger, what a wonderful joke
you friend should have added this topic to my anecdotes

There were many situations when I threw away the hand at the start and I would have had a Royal Flush. But you can't foresee that a K3 hand will be such a hand, so there's nothing you can do. I've had a lot of hands like this, but frankly, if I'm in the game, it's impossible for me to throw away my cards.

No one would fold a royal flush!

I flopped one, and then folded.....then I woke up.

lack of concentration. Playing tired is bad for playing poker. A royal flush is never abandoned.

Yes, there are situations when I fold QJ suited because someone goes all in, but then a Royal Flush comes on the table

LOL!! Do you save anecdotes? If you do that was an excellent idea.

I suppose I may have inevitably folded some times Pre-Flop, where had I played I could have made a possible Royal Flush, But with only 2 cards left after the flop, are you seriously going to chase that one card. I certainly wouldn't.
Once my hand is dead, It's Gone, forgotten about, and I am already thinking about my next hand, which has not even been dealt, What position I am in? Do I raise with a decent holding? or am I going to have to fold again ?
All these questions and more run through my mind, as I am waiting for the previous hand to finish, I know on-line your cards are still there for you to peek at but to second guess your instinct to fold any hand only leads to you to think what could have been? I have lost count how many times after folding 7/2 off I have seen a flop of 2,2,2 which would have given me 4 of a kind, but even that could be beaten with a 5,5 landing on the Turn and River giving my opponent a bigger 4 of a kind if he was holding a pair of 5s in his hand.
Could have, Would have, Should have, is not the way to play Poker, So don't kick yourself for folding a Q 3 off suit, pre flop, just because you would have made a golden hand on the River. It's just not worth It!

If you do mean folding a potential Royal flush, then yes I have.

Now if anyone has misclick folded a Royal Flush, THAT would be a story!!

Iryna Stryzheuskaya · Jan 5, 2024

I think there are few people capable of this. And it's not me

If you fold 10s Qs pre flop and the flop is Js Ks As you did not fold a Royal Flush, you are not in the hand. The only way to fold a Royal Flush is to be in the hand after the river and fold an unbeatable hand.

No point in folding the nuts. This is the one time when you know that you don’t have to fold. Why would you throw this away. I can understand other situations where you may fold a good hand, you could have a weaker full house as an example.

Joe · Jan 7, 2024

Can't think of any situation where anyone would fold a royal flush, unless they were chip-dumping or suchlike.

People might/will fold a draw to the royal or fold preflop cards which would have made a royal, but as other have stated- that's not the same thing.

I once folded a gutshot straight flush draw with one card to come because I was quite certain I was dead to that one card (which I was) and it hit on the river.

Nine of diamonds if I recall...

Thinking about it I strongly dislike that card now, until it redeems itself...

Settinh0 · Jan 7, 2024

I had once while playing a hand, never counted how many I hit after folding a hand cuz it does not matter.

gustavofuentes2 · Jan 7, 2024

I don't think anyone would ever fold a Royal Flush! I have had situations where I folded something like Ah 10h after the flop was KhKdQs and then after I folded the turn was Qh and then the river was Jh. I'm sure there are many other players that this has happened to!

Ataman911 · Jan 7, 2024

Never

benitwapasu · Jan 7, 2024

Maybe you mean by a mis-click? Or maybe you meant to show a picture of a hand where you folded and would have made a royal if you had not folded?

Exactly 🤣

I've folded something about 2-3 times, it's so hard to get RF.
I had RF 2 times in my all life in online poker.

Well, if we're talking about pre-flop, there have been cases. But more often I fold straight flushes, because I don't always play low hands. And a poker room like PokerStars loves it when players collect all possible combinations at the same time on the post-flop.
