There's a post in another forum that contains these lines: "Oh great... I folded a straight flush" ... "Oh great... this time I folded four of a kind" Now I didn't read the hand histories at first and I thought "How stupid! Why would you fold a straight flush!?!" (This speech is full of sarcasm) Everyone knows what actually happened: X folded some cards that would've become a straight flush, quads, etc. You hear the word "would've" a lot from beginning playes (the guy in that thread actually wasn't a beginner, but whatever). If you catch yourself thinking like this, try to entertain these possibilities too: If opp had not had a ten, I WOULD'VE won that hand. If opp had stopped all of a sudden and said "I found Jesus and will never gamble again. Here, take all my money", then I WOULD'VE taken all his money. If Greta Garbo had come back from the dead, looking really fit, and offered to take me in the back room, I WOULD'VE got laid or something. "Would've" indicates the conditional tense. For talking about reality, use the future tense. If you call big bets with crap cards, you WILL lose money. |

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is... I'm against it.

Excellent. It's like I tell my newbie friends... I don't care at all how a folded hand would've played out. I only care about my long-term winnings. |

| I don't know how much: would have, should have or could have pays..... However, I pretty well know how much I will lose by playing crap hands - exactly what I bet. | ||

Those thoughts are the exact thoughts that cause recreational players to see nearly every flop and limp with AKs (which they think of as a drawing hand). Thing is, we all have those thoughts. Consider that fishstick (who seems like a pretty good player) asked a similar question about folding JJ when two opponents held overpairs but a J showed on the river. When you can make the right play and not worry about the results, you have reached a high state of poker existence. |
