Hero Fold
英雄弃牌
A hero fold is folding what appears to be a strong hand because you believe it is beaten. This requires discipline and trust in your reads. While less dramatic than hero calls, hero folds prevent significant losses.
Example
You fold your two pair on the river when a possible straight completed - a hero fold.
