The 3 steps to pulling off a big fold

Hero folding can feel impossible at times.

Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that tells you your hand is rarely, if ever good?

Have you ever ignored it due to the monkey on your shoulder screaming about how ‘crazy’ it would be to fold a hand THIS good?

Here is a three-step program for unlocking your folding genius.

Take your hand off the mouse

If you grew up admiring multi-table phenoms like Randy “nanonoko” Lew and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier then you’ve no doubt strived for the ability to make poker decisions at a rapid pace.
