Lately I’ve been trying to improve one thing — learning to actually trust the fold button.
Not when it's obvious, but those borderline spots where ego starts whispering: “Bro, he can bluff here...”

And yeah, sometimes he can, but most of the time in low/mid MTT fields — they just have it.
Feels weird folding a decent hand and then watching pot go to someone else's stack, but honestly?
My redline looks happier already 😂

Anyone else here working on discipline over hero-calls lately?

Totally feel this! Folding in those borderline spots feels painful, but it’s such a game-changer long term.

It's also hard for me to use the fold button sometimes and sometimes I know that I'm losing but I can't find the fold button.

When in bad row of results i may make calls to see what stunt they pulled me now .
Im pretty certain they have the hand , but i need this confirmation , this string of bad luck is really real .
It feels like it would be a bit much , not realistic , in the situation now for the player to have this hand , looking at hands that happened before
it seems unlikely , but then its no suprise when they do have that hand offcourse .

yeah, sometimes is hard, but It hurts more when you call and lose with ace high 😅
