hindsight is a wonderful thing :wink:

This is a pathetically easy fold. You were dominated by both players and getting horrible pot odds on your two outer... why would you even think of calling?

Good poker is not results-oriented. Often after I fold a hand, I don't even pay attention to the cards that come out afterward. It's about making the correct decision, not the actual outcome.

lol i know that its an easy lay down but dont you ever get a feeling about certain hands ? btw i would never have called it but its just one of those things

no set, no bet

Getting feelings is how poker players get broke. One of my friends calls it the rhythm of the cards; I think he's full of it (and he doesn't win often enough to justify it, either). Just think to yourself how often you get a feeling and it doesn't pan out. The one time it does will not justify all the other times that it doesn't.

Here's an example: playing online, every time I get dealt a face card queen or higher I get a feeling that I'm going to get another one, to give me a pocket pair. Why do I get this feeling? Because based on the first card, it's the best possible second card I could be dealt. My mind wants it to happen. It actually happens exactly as often as it should happen, which is to say, significantly less than 10% of the time. Luckily, I can't bet on that first card only - nor would I want to, despite my very misleading "feeling." It doesn't mean anything, it's just hope springing eternal.
