There are many times where I will have say...7s, 8s and I pay to see the flop cheaply because I like these cards but the flop comes Ah, Kd, Ad...There I have 0 outs, what's the point in playing any longer and the more players that payed to see the flop, the less likely I'm going to want to bluff.
its a great way to save time and get outta the hand, knowing u cant bluff your way out of it
better than doing something stoopid.... Just Go....
What sucks is if someone does this and its a Royal Flush type hand. To have one player check just so he can stay and have a showdown and show a RF and have his opp fold would make me sick. So I wont do this if there is a situation of a bad beat or RF. Otherwise, I have folded like this at times. Sometimes you think you have no chance and win anyways though so not a great move.
I did this once because the blinds were about to go up on my bb and I wanted to avoid that lol
That's the best answer I heard yet. Other than that rare occasion I can't really ever see a reason to do it. Yeah I know that feeling when the clock is winding down and you want to scream at the screen for the other people to hurry up. We know you are going to fold, stop trying to save face.Quote:

dont ever fold. at least see if the river will be free . i have won when i almost folded for no reason to save time with bullshit cards but on the flip i have saw aa rabbited hand that i would have of won that i folded.
it could be useful if you need to go pee really bad
