Folding big hands is a tough deal, specially if you've flopped trips or straight, but even then, sometimes you're just drawing dead due to bad board texture and you have to lay your hand down, even though it makes you sick.

My biggest fold: I had 10,10 and the board came 10,10,K, I slow played my monster quads, like one should... so check-check, turn is a K, my opponent bets, I take a while and happyily called... River is another K... Opponent goes all in, I take a while, dumbfounded, thinking my opponent is the luckiest SOB in the planet and painfully folded my QUAD 10, my opponent showed his KQo

I can three occasions when I have folded pocket Kings pre in a 2/5 cash game. The game is a thousand dollar max buy in, and each time the two of us were deep. Each time I showed the kings and they showed their Aces. I have also folded a straight flush in a tournament where the board was Kh 3s 4s 5s 6s, I had Ah2s and villain held the 7c7s Nothing to crazy, but still not the easiest folds in the moment.

there are a lot of such stories, and here the most important thing is not to be afraid to throw your hand out, if you understand that according to the dynamics and given rally, the opponent has more monsters than bluffs, my pride is even better when you fold your hand and the opponent shows his monster it's just a buzz)) )

Awesome. I can't think of one specific scenario right now, but I did lay down a full house on several occasions. If my opponents show, I usually get confirmation that I correctly folded. Several of my full house folds, my opponent has showed and sure enough I was beat by quads or a better boat. In these cases, I usually do exactly what you do: shake my head dumbfounded and think my opponent is the luckiest SOB on the planet. I don't ever remember having to fold quads, but I'd be ready to if I knew I was beat. Cooler hands are annoying, but it is a big save when you can get out of a cooler situation correctly before you lose a ton.

My hand was :9c4::kc4:,
on the flop there is :jc4::qc4::8h4:, on the tour there is :4c4:, then I was guaranteed to win on the flush, but I waited, the opponent was all-in and ready to go to the show down. He with :ac4::5c4:, then I said "I was already" then in the end I was lucky to appear
:jc4::qc4::8h4::4c4::10c4:. It was very Lucky.:icon_chee :beer:

Not a big laydown but it was important for me. I was in my local casino with a reg and I had AK, I raised and he called, just him and me so the board I 73A I bet, he calls, the turn an 8 I believe, I continued betting and the river a 10 I bet he raised I think for about a minute and lay it down. He shows A10. Patted myself in the back for that.

This OP fold , it depends on previous action , stacks , tourney stage , etc , or else I would call :) Anyway , on PLO I have made great folds , still unable sometimes to fold second full house in paired board and too much aggressiveness by opponent , despite feear of quads or the higher FH .... mmmm . But in no limit I have folded in cash games many times lower sets , in tournaments a little hard for me ro do this but not impossible if whole stack is demanded by foe . Countless times i have folded Aces postflop due to crazy action or scary board oop ...The smaller stack I have the easier to call a less strong hand postflop .
