Every day, but they're hands that I'm sure I should give up. Just today I happened to have 88 from UTG with 22bb, I raised it to 2bb, MP1 increased to 5bb, HJ went all in with 7bb, CO went all in with 56bb, SB went all in with 43BB, I let go and MP1 paid. MP1 had 77, HJ had AKs, CO had AKs and SB had AQo, nobody got anything right, MP1 with 77 won
Oh, absolutely. We've all been there! Sometimes the board runs out so scary and the opponent sizes their river bet perfectly to represent the exact hand that crushes you. It's frustrating when they show the bluff, but making disciplined folds is a crucial part of the game. If you never fold the best hand occasionally, you're probably calling down way too light in general.
I've done it a few times by not noticing what I have. That is why if I'm in a showdown I always just turn over my cards. I've had people spot things like trips that I'd missed because I was concentrating on another combination of cards like a flush.
Of course, there have been times when I've clicked “fold” instead of the ‘call’ or “all-in” button. This is likely to happen when there are a lot of tables open at once and windows suddenly pop up—it's easy to click the wrong button.
It sure happens to everyone playing poker. But I do not find it so painful, I find it much more painful that, after reapeating to myslef like mantra: "OVERFOLD TO AGRESSION ON LATER STREETS!" zillion times, I am still stupid enough to try tu bluffcatch and get crushed.zvmbk88001 said:
I have, on a few occasions misread my hand, and folded, even though I would have won the hand. Also I folded a few times when it was a chopped pot. That's why I find it's important to check your hand before folding. Especially when you are tired, because you are more prone to making mistakes.
Yes, absolutely, I can sometimes fold a low pair on the river when playing against two opponents who have an "A" as their highest card. The thing is, in online poker, it's hard to read a bluff, especially when I'm playing 3-4 tournaments at the same time. But that's what makes poker so great! 😉
Yes, it happened to me a few times. Sometimes I fold because I think my opponent has a monster, and then I see that I would have won. It hurts, but I try to remind myself that folding is better than making a bad call. Of course, poker would be much easier if we could see everyone's cards! 🤣zvmbk88001 said:
