At my age (68), my bad memory is a blessing...I often forget what cards I had after I fold (playing live)...I try not to dwell on it.
in my experience it happens alot in freeollsWhen you fold a decent starting hand preflop and that hand ends up making nuts by the end of the river and on top of that two people on hand are throwing chips while we are seating there crushing ourselves for not playing that hand.
It happens when we are in blind too like we are getting priced in but we have a hand like 93o and we just throw it away and then flop is 993.
Happens all the time to good players. In fact, happened to me today. Not that I'm that good a player. Folded 78 unsuited while on the blind to a 5x raise. Flopped the nut straight. Both players were all in by the river. Winner took the pot with ace high.When you fold a decent starting hand preflop and that hand ends up making nuts by the end of the river and on top of that two people on hand are throwing chips while we are seating there crushing ourselves for not playing that hand.
