This has happened to me enough times that eventually I just decided I was going to trust myself to know that I am beaten. Even when your absolutely SURE he didn't just call a 3bet/4bet with 57o, if I feel I am beat, let it go. Especially online with low stakes games and poor players, you can almost guarantee that someone called with a crap hand.

Fold, say nh, and get it back in the hands to come. :icon_king

I've done just that.

I'm now hitting the final 3 (9 players) almost every time, so I'm definitely getting better. We can all improve and this thread alone has helped. The next chapter is improving the showdown as that is now my weakest point.

This is a timely post for me. I have been call when I know I'm beat for quite awhile. Big down turn. I am now back to my winning ways with folding folding and folding when I know I'm beat. Whether I am write or wrong, I'm still in the game and playing. Bury the Ego!

Spot on.

I think with Poker you sometimes need to be told what you already know. But it's buried deep and you know what to do, but other people telling you time and time again is what's needed.

Just finished second and won the previous 2. Going in the right direction, thanks to some of the posters on here.

you need to be able to fold, although there are bluffs in the opponent’s range,,,, or not?
