I think this is probably the best thing a player can learn to do.
And I don't mean, like a robot, that you follow the 80-90 percent rule. I don't even agree with that.
What I mean is that you should follow your instinct that tells you you're beaten, and be okay with cutting your losses and moving on to the next hand.
This implies that you're in a hand, post-flop, and you've made some calculations and good assumptions about your opponent(s) along the way.
Did an opponent make a big bet? Did they raise you? Why did they do that? Do you even have good pot odds?
Chances are, they've got something and you don't. So, fold. Move on. Instead, get into it when you're on the other side of that situation. Don't worry about being bluffed off of a pot. Just move forward.
