So every time I correctly fold a hand that would have nailed the flop, I just say to myself "oh dealer! I folded King-deuce!" in that lady's voice, and move on.

LOL. Too funny, Scottie. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I was playing live MTT and one donk kept a running commentary of what he woulda flopped each time. It's nice when fish announce themselves like that.

Wouldn't both those instances be against the rules as well, or at least against etiquette. I mean, if I held A2 in my hand on that first hand I would feel a lot better about my hand knowing that one of the kings was already in the muck.

This particular person was giving his commentary after the hand was over. Yeah, otherwise, that would have been bad etiquette at the very least.

Sure it is, but it happens sometimes....especially in lower limit games where people aren't nearly as serious. I didn't sick the dealer or the floor manager on her, because she was great for the game.

This is why I never rabbit hunt when playing live.

Good ahead and loosen up and start making more calls.

Unless you're freakishly tight, this should reslult in you losing way more than winning. If consistenetly losing isn't what you're after, then just get it over it and keep folding when you know should.
When your out of a hand the only reason you should be paying attention to the board is to observe your opponents and how they play the hand. If your still playing your folded hand, your obviously living in a past that's not coming back.

In a CardRunners video by Green Plastic or Muddywater (can't remember which) they touch on this topic.

He folded a garbage hand preflop. The flop came out and he made a fullhouse. He laughed and then reiterated basically what everyone is telling you here.

However, he went on to say that UltimateBet's algorithm for determining what cards come on the flop is partly based on how many players see the flop. So, had he stayed in the hand and played his garbage the flop would have been entirely different.

I always keep this in mind since I play on UB as well. I'm not sure if any other sites operate in a similar manner but it may comfort you if you play on UB.

i could see a situation where i have a tough decision whether or not to fold a pocket pair to a small raise and several callers, decide to fold, and the third card comes on the flop...i've played thousands of hands, and there still could be times where i'm kicking myself...

i realize the flop doesn't matter, but still, it sucks..
