| Folding the winning hand Hi I am just wondering how common it is for players fold the winning hand, either through a lack of concentration or a misclick, only to realise it later? Is is something that only happens at the beginner level or do experienced players do it occansionally as well? I have played a fair bit of poker, but I just stupidly folded a straight in a hand online (caught runner runner), not realising that that is what i had. I am wondering if anyone ever done something like this before? |

| YouTube- Phil Ivey Mucks The Winning Hand - WSOP 2009 *And if you don't know what you had then you really need to practice the basics. Last edited by suit2please : 8th January 2010 at 4:35 AM. |

| re: Folding the winning hand poker Have to figure these players are sittting there for long peroids of time. Hhil had to think he had club and not a spade. You dont see that lot on the tour and not from Ivey. I have played a some late nighters online that have went to early morning. Had few misclicks and misread the baord. All part of being human, mistakes will happen. good thing there was he didnt realize it, pot was not all that big. Could have been lot worse. |

| My first year playing in a live B&M $5/$10 LHE game. I get KK. Myself and three others cap it pre-flop. I flop a set and cap it with two others. I turn a full-house and we cap again. We all cap the river and one guy flips over his quads. I muck my kings full over aces without showing. The next night I'm hanging out waiting for the games to get going and I'm reading the card room rules: "Any jacks or better full-house beaten by four of a kind wins our bad beat jack-pot!" Always show your hand to the dealer... |

| Yeah, online if I fold the best hand it's a misclick, haha. Live, I can't recall having done it. I know I've misread my hand before but yeah, anyone who's played a lot of live poker like myself has done that. Mainly because I look at my hand once and that's it. Sometimes I confuse myself forgetting which card was the diamond and which was the heart. |

| Everybody makes mistakes . I have done it by misclicking a few times multi-tabeling. Once I click all in when I meant to fold. I had something stupid like 73 the person I called had a high pp pair. I ended up winning the hand but I felt like a donk |

On another note, almost folded aces today when multitabling freerolls, it was pretty close. |

| re: Folding the winning hand poker Its pretty common at any level. You cannot see your opponents cards. So if of all the hands he could have you beat two of them.. and it just so happens that this time he has one of those two but bets anyway... it is correct to fold the winning hand. |

| Can you just imagine? After seeing the video and some of the responses of other members, and at least a couple of mistakes that I've made, can you imagine how much the misses, mistakes, or oversight's would add up to in $$$$$$$$. It would be very interesting to know how much if there was ever a way to determine it. |

| re: Folding the winning hand poker Can't remember what it was, but yeah, I folded the winning hand once or twice thanks to tiredness/lack of concentration. I'm sure it happens to everyone at one point or another. The only memorable "misclick" I can remember was when I was browsing the net and just as I clicked a link the poker window popped up, and I was all-in with 72o. Needless to say I wasn't very popular at the table... especially since I won the hand. |
