I'm a little late to this party, but my two cents...

I sometimes do a pre-emptive fold. Like if I hold a speculative hand like 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and the flop comes out a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] k [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] t [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Now there's not any two cards in the deck that will fix the problems with this hand. but lets say I catch runner 7s, I'll feel like dumping a bunch of money into the pot. Also if it gets checked around a couple of times I'll feel like throwing a bluff into the mostly empty pot, which is how I lose money if I'm not paying enough attention.

So basically I fold to a check to guard against my own stupidity in certain extreme situations. I've done it maybe five times in all my games of poker.
