Posted by shokaku: Correct fold. Just a uber lucky flop for your hand. But i wouldn't get involved with that hand in that position anyway. Its just asking for trouble.
But sometime we need feeling or instinct to win in poker. Don't you ever do it ? what's answer when someone go or call all in and won ? why they do that ? cos they don't have brain ? or in give up situation ? that's make frustrating or more interesting ? why we still play ?

It's MTT and All in was very risky for me, that's why I fold it.

You shouldnt raise from that position only if you feel you could shove with jack queen offsuited but was a right fold and you should keep playing like that and fold some times with AK without position. Never fold AA just if you are short stack in bubble

Sometime I fold good hand, because my opponents push all with nothing. It's so sick when you see your folded nuts on board and your opponent win with pair of 7 I need some selfcontrol metod (drugs)

Hey,...just a few dollars is better than NO dollars....
It would have been nice if things went your way and you went deep,...but hey,... I think I would have folded there.....Plenty more chances for the BIG hand to come along....

The thing you have to remember is as every card is in itself random, any decision you make differently, or amount of time you take to make a decision, the flop will be other random cards than what happened.... if that makes any sense at all. I know what I'm trying to say, but can't expalin it better.
Basically - in live poker, you could consider you made a "wrong" fold... but not a "bad" one. The outcome doesn't change whether you made the right move or not... But in online poker, if you had called - the flop could've been AAA.... it COULD still have been JQJ, but the fold was still correct.
If someone says to you - I have a coin. I'll flip it, if it comes up heads I give you £11,000.... If it's tails, you give me £10,000... The RIGHT thing to do is take the bet. Regardless of the outcome - you made the right choice. This example is also a good bankroll management tip... If you had to turn down this opportunity, because you can't afford to lose - you shouldn't be playing. So if you play a tourney you can't afford to lose, you'll fold some spots where you should call and your results will suffer.

...Hope that all makes sense.
I understood everything you said. It really helped me to understand my thoughts. I realized that it is better not to think about the board after the fold. It only leads to anger. Tnx man
