Here we see what might be the worst poker fold in history. We’ll get to why he did it down below but first, let’s just run through some quick poker terminology.

At this point, it’s unclear what JWin is doing raising to $800 but I like the aggression and it would’ve paid off later if he didn’t fold the nuts. Jake calls, the ace folds. Now there are just two players left in the hand.
The Turn bring out the 8 of Hearts. This is a […]
