subject: Fold Preflop When Playing Fixed-Limit Hold 'em [print this page] There are three chances to betting postflopThere are three chances to betting postflop. Nevertheless, the decision for each cannot be easily deliberated. Pot odds can be of much help, more so during draw moments. However, there will be instances when the player has played hand and is uncertain about it. It is the nature of this particular game that bets take only a small part of the pot. This becomes attractive for amateur players who are eager to unveil their cards. In addition, this may become a trap for amateur players who will consequently lose at the end of the game. Small mistakes and big mistakes, can also be factors that may affect the player's decision to fold. Small mistakes happen when a player decides to call even without the pot odds. On the other hand, a big mistake can happen when the person folds at the wrong time. For instance, a poker player has the best hand, but decide to fold at a later time when he is not really certain if he just holds a near-nut hand.
