How often should you be folding in poker?
How Often Should I Fold? – In essence, folding is for quitters. And most tight TAG players quit too often, especially near the turn & river. Most fishy players quit too rarely, and they bring WAY too much junk to showdown. Your goal is to be in the middle. 
First, how often is too often? Of course, there is a large difference between folding 80% of the time, 50% of the time, and 25% of the time. In general, if you allow somebody to generate outright profit from you (meaning you fold more often than the BE of their bet size), you are folding too much.
- Especially since some of your folding range would actually either be ahead or have a chunk of equity, I’d say if you are routinely folding more than a third of the time you are doing so too often.
- If you’ve read Ed Miller’s Poker’s 1% he actually outlines only folding an average of 30% of the time in many situations.
So if you are consistently folding more than half the time (and many tighter players do), you are leaving money on the table. One of the 2 poker rules you need to live by is that if you call on one street, you should usually continue on the next street,
- If we take ‘usually’ to mean ‘about 70% of the time’, that inherently means we should be folding around 30% of the time when facing bets.
- These numbers are ballpark numbers averaged over ALL possible flops and/or runouts – so keep in mind that really bad cards/actions may increase your folding frequency and really great cards/actions may increase your continuance frequency.
But are most players really doing that? Let’s look at another example, this time from a hand posted on the Red Chip Poker Forums. In this situation, hero has TT and faces a cbet and barrel on a Jack-high board: Pocket Tens here is right on the cusp between folding and continuing given the number of combos that hero would gladly continue with from their range (including top pair, pair+draws, flush draws, etc.).

When should you fold before the flop?
When to Fold Before the Flop – In Texas Hold’em, the best poker players fold 75 percent or more of all starting hands before the betting even begins. A fundamentally sound preflop strategy sets you up for success in all subsequent betting rounds. Even the loosest preflop players (if they’re winning players) fold before the flop around 70 percent of the time.
To figure out when to fold before the flop, you need to establish a set of hand ranges that you’re willing to play from each position at the poker table. Hand range charts (like the Upswing Poker free preflop charts ) represent the best way to establish a solid preflop strategy. Preflop hand range charts dictate what hands to open raise with from each position, as well as which hands to call or raise with against a player who has bet before you get to act.
A good starting hand chart will have you doing a lot of folding preflop. A good preflop strategy involves playing tighter in early position, then adding more starting hands to your range in the later positions. Premium hands, like pocket aces, kings, queens, and ace-king, can be open raised from any position.

Is it good to fold in poker?
The Right Way to Fold – Knowing the right time and the right way to fold are essential when learning how to play Texas Hold ’em, It is best to wait until your turn arrives before folding at a poker table. Even if you’ve been dealt bad cards and you’d like to throw them in right away, you need to be patient and wait for the players ahead of you to fold, call, or raise before you can do so yourself.
- It’s poor poker etiquette to fold out of turn.
- You will earn the ire of your opponents, as your actions could reveal to those still playing what the odds of winning may be.
- Folding early also means those still playing will have one less person to call and potentially raise the pot.
- Your actions can impact their decision to call, raise the stakes, or fold.
If you’re playing online poker, you can program your retirement as soon as you see your cards, but at a live table, you have to wait until it’s your turn. Be courteous to the dealer by placing your cards face down and sliding them forward enough to allow him to pick them up with ease.
Before you discard your cards face down, you should say “fold” or “I fold” to indicate your intentions. There is no way to change your mind and re-enter the hand once you have said you will fold. The other players should not see your cards when you fold. Be careful when tossing, and don’t expose yourself by getting too fancy with your toss – you are likely to receive a second warning from the dealer if you aren’t careful.
If you have the option to check, such as after the flop, turn, or river, it is also uncommon to fold rather than check. On most occasions, if there is a raise, you would check, then fold.

When should you fold in Texas Hold em?
Folding is part of the game when you are playing Texas Hold’em. Any time that the action is on you, folding is going to be one of your options. Whether you are folding pre-flop, on the flop when facing a bet or a raise, or on the river, folding is always going to be part of the equation.

What is the 2 7 rule in poker?
Showdown – Determining the Winner – The player with the best five-card 2-7 hand wins the pot. After the pot is awarded to the best hand, a new game of 2-7 Triple Draw is ready to be played. If two or more hands have the same value, the pot is equally split among them.

Should you ever fold preflop?
Preflop bet sizing. – If you decide that you are going to enter the pot, you should be looking to make a raise of about 3 or 4 times the size of the big blind, By making a minimum raise you are letting opponents with marginal hands come in cheaply, and you are almost defeating the object of making a preflop raise.
The idea of a preflop raise is to reduce the amount of players who follow you to see a flop, as it is easier to make profitable decisions when there are fewer players in the pot. So make sure to come in with a strong 3 or 4 BB raise, and increase the size of the raise if you find that a lot of players are still calling these raises with marginal hands or if other players have limped in before you.
If there has been a raise before you, you must now consider whether you should fold, call or raise. If you have a poor or marginal starting hand you should look to fold. If you have a good starting hand like the ones mentioned above you should be happy to call and see a flop.

What hands should you never fold in poker?
The aces are always a favorite, and the only way you won’t be ahead is if you face the other two. This is why you can’t really fold aces; it’s like burning money. Whether it’s a tournament or a cash game, you can’t let go. Every other action might be correct under certain circumstances.

Should I fold or check?
Fold vs check: basic differences – 
As explained in the previous section, a fold is justified if there is a bet from another player, In case there is not and considering that we start from a weak hand pair, what you should do would be check. If you have ever wondered what is check in poker, is what one does if they wish to pass the action to the next player, but keep their cards.
Checking is a smart move on the part of a player who wants to stay in the game while committing no money to the pot. However, checking is only possible if there has been no previous bet, In the event that a player has made a bet, the next player to speak can only call, raise, or fold. Here we see the basic difference between fold and check: while you can fold at any time of the game, even preflop, you can only check if no one has bet before you.
A second difference would be that, while folding means abandoning that hand and giving up the pot that has been accumulated, checking will allow you, until a new bet, to stay in the game.

Is it better to hang or fold?
Storing Your Clothes: Fold Vs. Hang Should you fold your clothes or hang them ? Though this question is often answered with a shrug and generally not given much thought, it does make a difference. While not everything should be folded, not everything should be hung either.
- How you store your clothes can be a matter of preference, but also a matter of maintenance; for instance, hanging the wrong material can ruin the shape of the clothing, while folding the wrong item can wrinkle and crease it.
- Here are a few rules we’ve compiled to give you a good idea of how to properly store your clothes:
- Hang or Fold
- Whether or not you should hang or fold your clothes will depend on:
Material : Delicate materials that are prone to wrinkling should be hung (silk, satin, lace); materials that are often starched should be hung (cotton dress shirts, etc.); slinky, stretchy materials (lycra, jersey, etc.) should be folded to keep from stretching out; most knitwear should also be folded.
Weight : Materials heavy enough to bend a hanger should be folded. Garments with heavy beading and other embellishments will pool weight to certain spots when hung, sagging and distorting the shape of the item, which can unravel beading. Store items like this (e.g. wedding dress) in a cedar-lined chest instead, folding as few times as possible.
Closet configuration/ space : Depending on the layout and size of your closet and storage space, it might make sense to hang or fold garments based on necessity. If you’re short on hanging or storage space, give priority to the items you wear the most, and items you want to keep protected.
| HANG | FOLD |

Tips for hanging your clothes
- If you’re hanging a shirt, make sure the seams along the shoulders line up evenly with the edge of the hanger.
- Keep hangers evenly spaced with room between garments to prevent crowding, snagging and wrinkling.
- Don’t insert the hanger from the top of shirts- this will stretch out the collar and distort the shape of the garment. Insert the hanger from the bottom instead.
Tips for folding you clothes
- When folding delicate sweaters in materials like cashmere, use tissue paper to line folds – this will help prevent creases from setting in.
- Shake garments out before folding to minimize wrinkles and help ensure they lay flat.
- Take caution when folding socks and undergarments: rolling socks can stretch out the elastic (fold the pair together instead) and folding bras in half can ruin the shape of the cups’ padding.
What type of hangers should you use?
| TYPE OF HANGER | USES | |
| Plastic tube hangers | T-shirts, cottons. Avoid hanging thick, fitted clothing or tops with padded shoulders on plastic hangers (use sturdier wooden hangers instead). | |
| Padded (silk or linen) hangers | Lingerie, silk & delicate fabrics, items prone to snagging. Avoid heavy items, as they tend to fall off this type of hanger. | |
| Suit hangers | Suits you never separate (if you frequently wear pants and jackets separately, hang each item separately so they remain visible). | |
| Wire hangers | Our advice? Just don’t. These will cause shoulders to pucker and heavy items to sag and lose their shape. Even if the wire is supported by a cardboard tube, these will bend under weight over time and will either drop or wrinkle your clothing | |
| Clip hangers | Pants, skirts, pleated items, sleeveless tops. |

Is poker more luck or strategy?
How Does Luck Affect Poker? – So, how does luck affect poker? Well, it works like this: every poker hand has a huge element of luck to it. After all, you need luck to be dealt strong hole cards; you need luck to see useful cards appearing on the board; and you need luck to ensure that other players don’t have a hand that is better than yours.
- Overall, in a single hand of poker, luck probably accounts for around 90% of the outcome, with skill only taking a tiny 10% stake.
- So, with luck playing such a huge role in every hand, how is it possible to still say that poker is a game of skill? Well, it is because everybody will, over thousands of hands, get roughly the same luck.
What will set some apart from others, however, is their skill. For those who play with the maximum amount of skill, the way luck impacts on their game will reduce over time. Over one hand, they could easily lose money, as luck plays such a huge part. Over months however, they’ll find that good and bad luck starts balancing out, allowing their skill to shine through and tip the balance in their favor.

Is poker a luck or strategy?
Are the world’s most successful poker players products of hard work and skill? Or are the highest-earning players in the history of the game simply the luckiest? The debate on whether poker is a game of skill or luck will probably persist for as long as poker exists.
Like all gambling games, luck does play a major role in poker, especially in the short term. Poker is different than any other form of gambling, however. Unlike the other games on a casino floor, poker is a game of skill, and the world’s top pros make money because they’re the best players in the game.

The Upswing Poker Lab is a poker training course taught by Doug Polk and Ryan Fee. The Lab is updated regularly with in-depth learning modules, theory videos, and a wealth of information to make you a better poker player. Is there anything more satisfying than bluffing? I love bluffing.
Bluffing is life in poker, but not all players feel the same about bluffing. For some, “bluff” is a narrow term of derision, used to describe opponents who bluff too often or always at the wrong time. And this is understandable – we’ve all seen a ludicrous river bet that was destined to get called. What was he thinking with that bluff?! It’s true that some players bluff too much.
But there are also players who think that their opponents — or they themselves — bluff often, but in reality they do not bluff often enough. And sometimes these players’ bluffs are really nothing of the kind. Here’s the thing about bluffing without it, you must have a strong hand to win the pot – the strongest hand, in fact.
- But how often does that actually happen? Most hands miss the flop, and a very strong hand preflop can become very weak as the hand progresses.
- In short, without bluffing, poker would not just be boring, it would arguably be unbeatable.
- Your opponents will be quick to exploit a playing style that is too heavily based on making strong hands; one that is not well-rounded with bluffing when it’s appropriate.
So, how much should you bluff? Let’s start with a general rule: Bluff more early in the hand, and less on later streets. The reasoning behind this rule is simple. In terms of equity versus an opponent’s calling range, your ‘bluffing’ range is at its strongest preflop, and that equity diminishes as the hand progresses.
- For example, preflop, suited connectors could have 30–40 percent equity against most of the hands your opponent will continue with.
- Consequently, you can play more of these ‘weaker’ hands relative to the number of strong hands that you would typically raise for value.
- But as you get closer to the river, your bluffing range will have less and less equity against the hands your opponent will continue with, thus you should be bluffing with them less on later streets.
This reasoning culminates on the river. First, if, on the river you decide to bet, you must know whether you are doing so as a bluff or for value. Generally, if your hand has any equity against the hands your opponent could call you with, then you should not be bluffing.
In other words, if you think your opponent could call with some worse hands, then bluffing on the river is probably a bad play. Second, if you find yourself bluffing on the river it’s important to account for the pot odds you’ll be giving your opponent. Suppose you’ve bet $100 into a pot of $100, giving your opponent 2:1 to call (your opponent has to call $100 to win $200).
This means that you need to be bluffing one in three times, otherwise your opponent could make a profitable adjustment by over-folding or over-calling. The idea is that the range of hands you bet is profitable because your value-bet to bluff ratio is in exact proportion to the pot odds your opponent is being offered (two value bets for every one bluff).
- As a result, your play is un-exploitable by your opponent – it does not matter whether your opponent calls or folds.
- Obviously, this is all to say very little about which hands, exactly, you might want to bluff with at any particular time.
- Bluffing requires forethought; it cannot simply be a matter of betting with no equity when it feels right.
You should plan every hand from preflop onward, thinking carefully about how the hand could develop, making adjustments on each street. To take an easy example, suppose you bet a flop of Q J 2 Here, you could have a number of hands that are bluffs (or, ‘semibluffs’, if you like), which can improve to value hands on later streets. Backdoor flush draws, straight draws with K-10 or 10-9, or even A-10 are therefore hands that are reasonable to bet as bluffs on this flop. 7 2 requires a bit more thought, and perhaps more ambition if you decide to continue with a bluff. Hands like ace-high or backdoor flush draws seem reasonable to bet as bluffs, but have less potential to improve than those mentioned in the previous example, and possibly no showdown value by the river.
- So, you should proceed carefully, keeping in mind the general rule with which we began (bluff more early on, less on later streets).
- One particular scenario that some players struggle with involves checking the flop and then betting the turn.
- As a rule, if you can have some value hands in a scenario then you should also have some bluffs.
But to infer which hands to include as bluffs, you have to consider which hands you would check or bet the flop with, and then bet the turn. For instance, on our K 7 2 board, could you have checked back the flop with a king? Or could you have had air on the flop and then bet the turn when your hand didn’t improve? Or perhaps you have a hand like pocket tens, and are now value betting on the turn. Every scenario is different, but when bluffing is a live option you must do some careful thinking, and apply the general rules about bet sizing and equity we’ve been discussing.
- Nevertheless, by far the most common mistake players make is submitting to a fear of bluffing.
- Even when the math is on their side players don’t bluff enough.
- They don’t put their opponents in tough situations and thus they leave money on the table.
- Don’t be afraid to bluff! When done properly, bluffing is profitable and part of a well-rounded playing style.

Under what conditions does folding occur?
Folds of alternate layers of limestone and chert occur in Greece. The limestone and chert were originally deposited as flat layers on the floor of a deep sea basin. These folds were created by Alpine deformation, In structural geology, a fold is a stack of originally planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, that are bent or curved during permanent deformation,
- Folds in rocks vary in size from microscopic crinkles to mountain-sized folds.
- They occur as single isolated folds or in periodic sets (known as fold trains ).
- Synsedimentary folds are those formed during sedimentary deposition.
- Folds form under varied conditions of stress, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks,
A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogenic zones, Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault ( fault bend fold ), at the tip of a propagating fault ( fault propagation fold ), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. Kink band folds in the Permian of New Mexico, USA

Is a pair of 2s good in poker?
A Two Pair is the seventh best possible hand in the poker hand ranking system. Three-of-a-Kind ranks directly above it, with the best 3-of-a-Kind being a Set of Aces or Trip Aces. There are only two hands that rank below a Two Pair. The hand that ranks directly under it is called One Pair.

What is a good fold to 3bet percentage?
Fold to 3-bet – The fold to 3-bet statistic is the most important one to understand. In a balanced strategy, you will have a fold to 3-bet of somewhere near 55%. However, at the lower stakes this will usually be higher, because players there are generally weighted towards value when they 3-bet.
If a player is folding 30% or less to 3-bets, then you need to raise them primarily for value. This will involve using a depolarized range. If a player is folding 65% or more to 3-bets, then you need to raise them primarily as a bluff. This will involve using a polarized range. The percentages of fold to 3-bet work on a sliding scale.
The closer they are to 30% or less, the more you want to be weighted towards value. The closer they are to 65%, the more bluffs you want to work into your range.

How many times a paper should be folded?
Category: Physics Published: December 7, 2012 Public Domain Image, source: Christopher S. Baird. Nothing stops a piece of paper from being folded more than seven times if the paper is thin enough. Depending on the thickness and width of the paper, after a certain number of folds, the paper stack becomes thicker than it is wide.
- After that point, there simply is nothing left to fold, so the limit is reached.
- Each fold in half makes a paper twice as thick, so that n folds of a paper that has a thickness of t results in a total thickness of 2 nt,
- At the same time, every two folds cuts the width in half, so that n folds reduce the width w to (1/2) n /2 w,
If we say that a paper can’t be folded when its total thickness equals its width, then 2 nt = (1/2) w. Solving for n, we find that the maximum number of times a paper can be folded is: n = 0.96 ln ( w / t ) This equation assumes we fold side to side, then top to bottom, then side to side, etc.
Using this equation, a standard piece of printer paper has w = 8.5 inches and t = 0.004 inches, so that n = 7. So a standard piece of paper can indeed only be folded seven times. However, if we had an 8.5 x 11 in. sheet of paper that was a quarter as thick as normal, using this equation, we could fold it nine times.
If you take a roll of toilet paper and roll it out into one long line you can fold it even more. If you are folding in one direction however, you have to use (1/2) n w for the width, leading to the slightly different equation, n = 0.72 ln ( w / t ). If we take a super-jumbo-sized roll of toilet paper with a thickness of 0.004 inches and unrolled length of 170000 inches, using this equation we find we could fold it thirteen times.

Why can’t you fold more than 7 times?
What is the Seven Fold Limit? – It’s commonly accepted that you cannot fold a single sheet of paper in half more than 7 times, no matter what paper finish, size, or basis weight you’re using, for two main reasons:
Every time you fold your sheet, you reduce your total surface area by half, so eventually you simply run out of surface area to fold. Every fold also increases the strength of the paper. Think about it this way: when you try to tear a page out of your phonebook (if you still have one), it tears easily. But when you try to rip the entire phonebook in half, it takes a lot more effort. The same principle applies to folded paper.
If you’re a numbers person, think about the seven fold limit exponentially: 2 x = total layers of paper, where x = number of folds
| Number of Folds | Layers of Paper |
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 8 |
