rabbit hunting

how often do you use rabbit hunting and dose it effext your future decision you playing your next hand . i saw most of pros turn off this feature so they not become result orianted knowing that you gona hit the flush or getting that straight on the turn or river

I rarely use rabbit hunting, and I understand why many pros turn it off.

Seeing that you “would have hit” a flush or straight can make you result-oriented and affect future decisions emotionally.
Poker decisions should be based on correct odds and strategy, not on what the next card would have been.

Sometimes rabbit hunting can create unnecessary tilt or regret.
So while it’s interesting occasionally, I think avoiding it helps maintain a clearer mindset for the next hands.

i use rabbit hunting alway ofc if it is free some rooms have only pay in option

I very rarely look anymore, the novelty wore off after a while but I still believe its a great feature, its so frustrating seeing you would have hit that flush but equally brilliant when you make a big lay down and you would have been out.

It might be more interesting to play without this feature.
An example: most likely you will fold a 74o hand, regardless of your position... but seeing that the board turned 774 and you formed a full house, may leave you thinking about a “bad” next hand.
I prefer not to use it.

I don't really understand what you're talking about.
I assume you mean the feature that lets you see the cards on the table when everyone has folded. If so, I never pay attention to such things because I'm interested in real money, not fantasy stories

Hi there...Evrey time. And i Tell You whay ..it helps me pin point big bluffers along the game and table.

Never use it. Doesn't matter what the next card is or was it only matters if I made the +EV decision in the moment.

Cheers!!!

First, I calculate the odds. Then, curiosity sets in to see the next card. As soon as I fold, the right card comes. That's why it's harmful.

Virtually never, what card(s) might have come is of no interest to me what-so-ever, I just don't play the game that way.
On a very rare occasion I might look at the river card so I can narrow down the range of hands villain was playing so I can form a read.

i dont care of rabit hunting, i see them a waste of time.
it is just like in real life. It has no point thinking "what would've happened if...". Those are contrafactual events that had never happened and never will, you have no benefit thinking on them, just consuming your time and emotions.

boxwaxer · Jun 21, 2026

I use it from time to time. Doesn’t affect me tho. Just play one hand at a time.

moraeskvmi · Jun 21, 2026

I never use it!

Just off it and live calmly. Rabbit just gives you more stress because of :"i would win this hand, next time i ll make other decision". It is way to nothing

Fosterbio · Jun 21, 2026

I know there's no point in watching rabbits if you've already folded your cards, but for some reason curiosity always wins out and you start biting your elbows, "Why did I grow up?!"

Rabbit hunting makes sense only for people playing live and having fun, laughing with each other, and in home games.
They brought it to online poker just to make people see what they have missed or not, and it makes them more likely to deviate from a normal game to chase cards next time. It is just a mental bait.

Lets me know what cards u play

Mwaki · Jun 24, 2026

I used to love using it then I realized it clouds my judgement so I don't plus it affects a lot emotionally so no it's not good

Nameless14 · Jun 24, 2026

I rarely use rabbit hunting. It's fun sometimes, but I can see why many pros turn it off. Seeing that you would've hit your flush or straight can make you focus on the result instead of whether your decision was actually correct. Over time, that can definitely affect how you think about future hands.
