Do You Ever Fold a Winning Hand?
Have you ever folded a hand and later realized you would have won? I’ve done it a few times, and honestly, it hurts more than losing a big pot 😂

I think most players have faced situations like this. It sucks, of course, but it's nothing critical. If you have the discipline to make the fold, you're definitely in a better spot than those who don't.
 
Oh, absolutely. There is nothing quite like the sinking feeling of making a tight laydown on the river, only to see the villain show a complete bluff. It usually happens when I overthink the board texture and convince myself they hit their runner-runner draw. It stings for a bit, but I just try to remind myself that making disciplined folds saves money in the long run. Better safe than sorry!
 
When two or more players throw themselves there, it has hurt me to retire with low pairs in my hand. Turns out that a trio or ladder came to me on the river.

YThere are many instances where a player withdraws with a winning round when they are skilled at gradually increasing their bet and placing a high stake, especially if they have a lot of money and particularly when the cards are floppy and help them.Doubt enters your mind, causing you to back down and withdraw, only to discover later that the owner of the winning cards...
 
Of course, I’ve folded a winning hand in poker more than once, but the consolation is that I also forced other players to do the same.
 
Yes, I’ve folded a few times; it really depends on the specific situation—for instance, if an opponent bets on every single betting round, it usually looks like they have a very strong hand. Even if I’m holding three-of-a-kind or two pair, if the board doesn’t favor my hand, I’ll fold.
 
Good morning everyone. I started playing poker in 2018, and folding a winning hand has happened to me many times. This is very common because we face all kinds of players, and many of them are loose-aggressive. Since I play micro-stakes, it is very common to see players playing 200bb pots—especially in KO MTTs—with very weak hands, forcing us to fold hands that were ahead.
 
Yeah, it happens to me sometimes too. Honestly, the worst part isn't just realizing you folded the winner, it's when you actually have that gut feeling that you're going to win the hand, or that you're ahead, and you still end up folding anyway. That stings way worse than just getting stacked, because you basically talked yourself out of trusting your own read. At the end of the day, though, if the math and the spot say it's a fold, you just have to live with it and move on to the next hand 😎😎
 
Never. Your hand can't win if you fold it. It is no longer the winning hand.

Being this invested in the results of every hand as if you should have been able to predict the future is a form of torture.

You can only make decisions with the info that you have in the present moment.
 
It hurts a lot when you've bet all your chips against an opponent who places an inordinate bet—someone who hasn't played a lot of hands—only to later reveal that, in this particular case, he was trying to trick someone.
 
It hurts especially when you are the short stack around the bubble and how your fold could have tripled+ you up !
 
Yes maybe 5 time sin my life playing poker, mere distractions thats all, last time was 2 days ago, folded straight withount noticing i had the T that comples the straight.
 
Can't recall ever folding a winning hand at showdown or anything. Probably get bluffed every session though obviously.
