The ability to fold marks one of the most important aspects of a winning poker strategy. In Texas Hold’em, playing too many hands preflop, or moving forward with too many marginal hands post-flop, can end up as a major detriment to your win rate. Knowing when to fold in poker is arguably the most critical skill in the game. The world’s best players know this, and fold often.

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. As you get closer to the button, you can add more hands like low suited connectors (5♠ 4♠, 9♥ 7♥) or small pairs like pocket threes and twos.

When to Fold After the Flop

Once the flop hits the board, the game dynamic from the preflop round completely changes. Getting too attached to a hand in certain situations can spell disaster, as the pots can escalate dramatically after preflop play.

Signs that you should fold facing a postflop bet include:

When your preflop hand isn’t strong after the flop

When a player who never bluffs is betting big

When you’ve played a pocket pair preflop, and two or more overcards hit the board

When you have no pair or drawing potential with your hand post-flop

When you do have drawing potential, but don’t have the right pot odds to call

When a very tight player is betting or raising big

The world’s best poker players find their way to the highest stakes by folding in the right spots. You’ll need to do the same to work your way up in poker stakes.

Who Wear #2 in NFL?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore decided to go back to number 2 at the start of the 2021 season. He said the number 2 goes all the way back to his first experience playing football.

NFL players in certain positions now have more jersey numbers to choose from. An update to the 2021 NFL Rulebook allows defensive backs, tight ends, wide receivers, running backs, fullbacks, H-backs and linebackers to choose from a wider range of available numbers, including single digit numbers.

Here’s how players can now suit up after the update in 2021:

Position Numbers Available (2020 season and earlier) Numbers Available (2021 season and beyond) Quarterbacks, punters and placekickers 1–19 Defensive backs 20–49 1–49 Running backs, fullbacks and H-backs 20–49 1–49 and 80–89 Tight ends 40–49 and 80–89 1–49 and 80–89 Wide receivers 10–19 and 80–89 1–49 and 80–89 Offensive linemen 50–79 Defensive linemen 50–79 and 90–99 Linebackers 40–59 and 90–99 1–59 and 90–99 The rule change proposal was submitted by the Kansas City Chiefs to the NFL Competition Committee and approved by owners on April 21, 2021. After practice squads were expanded for the 2020 season, some teams did not have enough jersey numbers available at certain positions. The new rule gives teams greater flexibility. In 2021, nearly 50 NFL players took advantage of the new rule to don a jersey number not previously available to them.
