Back to Poker

folded the winner and im still thinking about it.

Had a spot last night where I folded the nut straight on the river against a pretty tight player after a weird check-raise shove. Replayed it about 50 times and I keep coming back to thinking it was just scared money on my part. Still, the board paired and he was giving off strength vibes. Only thing is, he later flashed me the bluff, king high. Sick

How do you guys deal when you know you made a wrong fold, even if the reasoning kinda made sense in real time? Do you just shrug it off and trust the long term, or does it sit with you for a while too?

Yeah lol, same brainworm. Bad fold sits longer than a dumb raise.

Nah, the part that bugs me is “strength vibes.” That stuff gets people to torch pots way more than they admit. A tight guy can still panic-jam garbage when the board gets ugly. I had a guy in late position do the same nonsense into me, then proudly show queen-high like he solved poker. If I can name my hand and beat every missed draw, I’m not folding just because he acted dramatic.
