My question is something about forgetting the card I hold to prevent tilt.

Once, I was playing with a few friends and I am on the button. I noticed that there were a lot of actions around before I’m up. When my turn arrived, I slowly looked at my hole and surprisingly I’ve seen two-seven off suit. As a result, I immediately folded.

To make the long story short, the flop came up two sevens and a deuce. The guy in the table who was picking pair of kings since the start of the game, won for having kings up.

Well, I needed a quick break after that incident. But eventually my sort of a break didn’t last for long as I’ve returned to my old, calm self in just a short time.

My question now is:

Does forgetting your folded hands really make sense? And that if you drop out early, can you really look for some tells?

Any response from you will be appreciated. Thanks!

JR,

Once you fold a hand, the best thing to do is to wait for the next hand and not worry about what might have been. You can’t change the past. The best thing to do is forget about the fold. If you played well, take solice in the fact that you played well.

If you drop out of the hand early, you can use the time to pick up information on other players. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact that will help you to forget about the cards that you folded.
