To fold in poker means to give up your hand and stop playing in the current pot. When you fold, you push your cards face-down to the dealer and forfeit any chance of winning that hand—even if it turns out you would have won.
Folding is a core part of poker strategy. Knowing when to fold—whether it’s a weak hand, a bad position, or facing too much pressure—is often what separates good players from losing ones. You don’t have to play every hand—in fact, smart players fold a lot.
Once you fold, you’re out for the rest of the hand. You don’t have to match any bets, and you can’t win the pot.
