Most important fact for poker players

[badaace1973]

Ok here is the biggest problem new poker players face. This one thing can improve your play over night. It's so simple someone will say Im crazy but you would be surpised at the people who don't know this. The fact is folding is one of the most important things a poker player can do. A good player should be folding 85 to 90 percent of their hands pre flop. Then just as important as folding bad hands is folding good hands when you think they are beat. Like having pocket kks and the flop comes with an ace and some people cannot fold those kks even though they know the other person most likely has an ace or they wouldnt have called your raise to begin with or they wouldnt have bet the flop with the ace. People fall in love with their kks. This is even more important when you have AA and you in the middle of a hand and you think someone has you beat but you just fall in love with your pocket rockets. Remember a good fold is better than a good win because it saves your money or chips for when you can actually win a big pot

What makes it even harder to fold is when you seem to be able to always hit the winning hand-no matter the odds you seem to hit-then it is REALLY hard to fold those hands. And when you dont? Goodbye chips
