Have you ever wondered if you were behind with the ideal hand when playing free poker on the web? Is it even possible?

To answer your question. Yes, it is possible to feel the need to fold the best hand occasionally.

Whether it be pre flop or post flop some situations might dictate for you to fold the superior hand.

Some of these situations might be like if you hold a pocket pair and your opponent has two over cards, for example, you might have jacks or queens and your opponent might have ace queen or ace king.

Now depending on situation and chip stacks odds are these hands that would be playing a big pot? If it is early in a tournament or close to a bubble and you have a good stack but your opponent has you covered or equalled then this might be a time to fold the better hand. No reason to risk your tournament life on a race when it isn’t suggested or needed.

You might also find yourself in a situation post flop where you are holding a great hand of two aces and your opponent is holding a 7 and 8 of hearts. Along comes the flop at 5, 6 and two with two hearts.

Now you make a small feeler bet but your opponent re raises you massive. Even though your aces are the best hand mathematically you’re an underdog and might want to fold them depending on situation and chip counts.

Sometimes the players that can make the huge lay down are the ones that have more success. These are situations that occur often in tournaments and you see people regret not folding. But at the same time you need to follow your instinct and call if need be.

Remember that being a good poker player isn’t about how many times you win or lose, but how much you win at the end of the day. Play free poker on the internet and practice, practice, practice.
