When I played in a cash game in a Casino the second time. I held AJ offsuit and fold on a flop of AAJ, because I thought I had a pocket pair of 88 like I had on the last hand that was played. I realized what I folded when the cards hit the muck. I had to wait until after we left the casino to tell my wife how dumb I was.
Ouch. That sux bro. Hopefully the pot wasn't too big so it doesn't sting. =)
Wow brutal memory fart lol
That's the kind of thing that sticks with you and jumps out at you when you least expect it - just when you're feeling good about yourself for something, that memory will pop up.
Weighing the cost and risks... sometimes a fold is a win. Always give you a chance to be patient and wait for another hitting hand. GL
In a case like that it sucks to fold the nuts. But I mean what can you do after that. Once you folded better to not think about it cause it won't change anything.
I folded a nice Ace high Flush the other day, certain the Villian had a Full House due to the board and his out of character aggressive re-raising on top of re-raising. So of course he turns over nothing but air, not even a pair nor did he have any potential pre & post flop to make any hand besides a pair or two. I was so pissed.
I at least got to LOL when I took him out the game about 10 hands later!
I hate when it happens especially when its a huge hand
why is it not giving me my points for posting?
ok, nevermind its working now
I wouldn't have told anyone that. Hurts all over again.and again and again...
This seems like a really bad fold! I guess it pays to take another look at your handQuote:

I remember that Phil Ivey hand . It happens to the best of them...
The sad thing is I know that there was a bet and two calls on the flop. The guy who bet was to my right, I smooth call and the other two come along to the turn and I would have won the pot on the river, because the board ran below the Jack so I had the nuts. Don't know If I would have been called on the river though. The guy who bet on the flop took in down on the river with a bet no call.
Well like in Life you make mistakes. You have to learn from them. Now I look at my hand before I muck when I'm invested in a pot. I would like to hope that this big mistake at the time has help improve my game. Thanks for the advice and I'm happy to see the replies.
always good to double check and keep the mental note of what you have when you play. also for those that do decided to fold and then later sees the hand hit the flop, there really isnt much you can do except that you folded and the only thing left to do is move on. you cant predict the future...dont beat yourself up on folding the AJ, you will eventually get more chances in poker. just remember to tell yourself to double check next time.. we are only human and everyone makes a mistake every now and then .
I just folded nines to an overzealous eights he could have paired a ten or had quad aces. Twos called him.. pffffffffft
it is tough to decide what is going on when you fold a winner, but it depneds on how you would have won.. or lose the hand haha.. but for me if i am deep in a tourney i hate it more than in the earely stages
WOW,the guy of the video is incredible
Yeah I folded a good one earlier....

If you play a obedient style of poker you will get payed off when you dont need to fold the winners.
That Phil Ivey hand is proof that this can happen to anyone. Don't feel too bad!
