December Poker Thinking Contest

Prepared by BowerCrush


When To Fold


When playing any poker game, especially a game of Texas Holdem poker, you need to know when you should fold. Sometimes even a great hand is not going to win, and if you are too stubborn to fold, you are going to lose a lot more money or chips. Straights, flushes, and full houses are good hands in Texas Holdem, but even if you have one of these hands someone else might have a better hand.
When and how do you know when to get out and lay down your good hand?
Folding Straights and Flushes
The easiest potential hands to read are when there are 4 suits or 4 straight cards on the board. If you have the J of clubs and there are 4 clubs on the board, yes you have a flush, but is it good enough? If no one bets it is probably safe to throw out a bet on this hand. However, if you get a bet and a raise in front of you, your J probably isn't good. This is a case where you should lay down your flush. The same goes for straight cards. If the board is showing 5678 and you are holding the 4, there is a possibility that someone else is holding that 9. Again see if anyone bets. If there are big bets and raises out there, you are going to want to fold.
Folding High Pairs or 2 Pair
Laying down high pairs or 2 pair is where it gets a little tricky. It's harder to read if you are beat when there are no straight, flush or full house possibilities out. If you're playing at a full table and you have AK and the board is showing A946J, you have a decent hand but other players are betting and raising into you. Laying down aces with king kicker (a kicker is your highest card besides your pair; if 2 players both have a pair of aces, the next highest card in your hand comes into play as a tie breaker) is hard but sometimes you have to. As always if you have a big stack of chips and can afford to lose a little, you may play this hand all the way to showdown even if you think you could be beat.

Thank you for the information. I have no problem folding, as a matter of fact, I probably do it too often.
