It's a good point, yet I still get realy pissed when I do a bad fold as well...the bad call's are something that happends very often actualy, and usualy with the same guy in the same table, as for me , maybe because I'm to carefull the bad fold realy tips the mood.

Yeah that's a good question. I go for a bad call. Bad folds happen a lot, especially before the flop, bad fold after the river don't happen that often to me but I guess that's because I don;t see the opponents cards anyway, so I'm not sure if it was bad fold or not. Back to the point, I think it also depends what kind of player you are. Tight or aggressive? I think aggressive one's hate bad folds and the tight one's hate bad calls

A bad call cost money, if he bluffed and you folded he will likely trie it agen later on in the game when you have a strong hand or even the nuts. So your bad fold might even be a good thing eventually.

I get more sad with a bad call, because i only put chips on the table when i feel i can win that hand (bluffing or playing with other strategy) and if that doesnt happens, i get really pissed about it. Now, if happens that i have 27 and fold and watch 772 at flop, i laugh but dont get pissed about it because if i happened to have played that hand, it would only be for one of the following reasons: - i am BB and just have to check; - i am chip leading and have the oportunity to send someone with short stack home with a small bet after flop;

I think so, too. It fucks me up, when I do a bad fold, so i prefer a bad call, even though it can make me lose more money. But I can handle it very well so far..

bad call ! i find bad fold doesnt exist. if you fold then its mostly because you were unsure of the strenght of your hand. to say afterwards "damn i shouldnt fold" is easy. most of the time you already know that your gonna do a bad call...but for some reason you do it allthough u know not to do it lol.

It can be very frustrating to have folded the best hand (when they show) and get bluffed away, but i think there's nothing wrong with laying down the best hand from time to time.... i think most people make more bad calls than they make bad folds and that's what costs the most money

It is a difficult question But i think i would choose a bad fold, specially when I am almost certain the opponent is blufffing but the bet is too high or i am in a phase of the tourney i cant risk my stack. But when we make good readings he should be awarded!
