Yes, many times. Also regretted not folding before seeing the flop, many times as well. It's just part of the game.

An argument can be made that this is the biggest waste of time in most inexperienced players game. Everything that happens after you fold is total speculation on your part, although most players only watch how the hand ends without any regard for the play between the flop & river. Meanwhile there is an actual hand being played that gives one a chance to watch your opponents & maybe learn some of his/her tendencies.

Hi zyntsz. I can't even start to count the times I've folded small pairs pre-flop, which would have been the winning hand. Like making a set. However, what's past is past, and there is nothing you can do about it. Fold them, or call with them is up to you. But one thing you should consider is the bet size, in order to make your decision to call or not. Like is it worth taking the chance, when it's going to cost you a big part of your chips. GL

It happens all the time. But it's hard to say, because the situation can get worse after the flop.

Hello. It usually happens everytime I play. My range and the sixth sense go to war with each other sometimes.

When I get beaten by a bad hand, I tend to regret it because at the end of the hand I just think that I could have predicted it when I thought about it but I made a very bad decision.

When you open a poker client and pay a buy-in, it's bound to happen... It's impossible to get away from it.. It doesn't matter how you play or against whom... :) This happens all the time, so don't think about it ;) Your nerves are very important )))

This happens all the time but I try not to regret so much and see more the positive side of a folded hand, which had me brought into trouble with the flop. But it's not an easy psychological process.
This is an advantage of Zoom or Snap Poker, you don't see the flop after folding and you have not to think about it.

A good fold before the flop is also part of the game. And one day it will save your life.
For example, the opponent makes a standard bet with a pocket pair of 77. Your hand is 75 and you want to see the flop. 755 drops on the board and you will not be able to turn off the path. You'll have to blame the poker gods instead of just folding on the preflop.

I regretted it more times than I can remember, but a careful play is usually a better strategy than a careless one, especially in the long run.

Yes. I'll get a feeling about a hand and then folx start raising and re-raising and my cards shrink up so I fold. The flop will then tease me w/a woulda-been set or open-ender and then fill up on a later street. It's just part of poker.

Biggest reget at poker

One day i folded a pocket ACES pre flop because i was afraid he might have other pockets the he might get trips at the flop or turn or river... It was a High roller tournament and didn't want to leave before reaching payable places... So yeah i regret it until now...

I can't say it's regret but if your fold is based on numbers and range you shouldn't feel anything even if you hit the nuts. It's about decisions more than everything else
