Analyze each step.
Chips already committed from previous actions are no longer yours. When you bet and get raised your original bet is no longer yours. It belongs to the pot. Folding to the raise would be ev 0 since you can not gain or lose chips from your stack. (The original bet is not in your stack).
When going back to look at how you played a hand you look at each step. Each spot is an opportunity to make a mistake or play correctly. That’s why you see some analyst posts where someone replies “fold pre, but as played I would...”.
