New players often focus too much on luck and not enough on strategy. Over playing weak hands, chasing unlikely draws, and poor bankroll management are mistakes that can be reduced through practice and study

Playing too many hands.
bluffing too often.
Ignoring position.
Letting emotions dictate your decisions.
Failing to observe your opponents.
Poor bankroll management.
Not understanding odds and hand ranges.

New players focus too much on their cards; winning players focus on their decisions.

Good afternoon everyone, in my opinion it is not studying, playing hands outside the ideal range by position, calling flop, turn and river with 3rd pair, 4th pair or even 5th pair, bluff catching, not having patience, playing big pots with weak hands.

Bankroll management is probably the biggest one. A lot of new players underestimate how important it is until they go broke. I definitely learned that the hard way.

Number 1 error by inexperienced players by far is just seeing too many flops, limping and limp-calling far too wide pre-flop.
