i never fold, unless i can only make it for one hand
if you have 7, 2 unsuited you never know if a pair of sevens and a two could come up, then you just screwed yourself over lol
Douglar,
This sounds like you subscribe to the "any two cards can win" theory. While it is true that "you never know" what will turn up on the flop, the turn or the river... the
odds of your needed cards showing up are very, very low! You'll end up losing more money in the long run than you will ever win.
I used to play like that as well, and chased cards all the way to the river... but then I started tracking those kinds of
hands and boy! was I shocked! Yes, it bugs me when I have folded low unsuited cards and sure enough, a winning hand could have been mine, but that happens too rarely. But, what makes me feel even worse and will put me on tilt, is losing good money on hands that just don't materialize. And low unsuited hands lose more often than they win. In my experience, anyway.
May I suggest you track your low unsuited attempts for just one session, and I think you'll see what I'm talking about. On the other hand, its not like you asked for input on this... so feel free to ignore me!

As for low and suited... pretty much the same thing happens. If unsure, track those hands and see how many you win. I don't play anything less than J 10 suited and even then I have to be in late position.
