What is the worst mistake that a poker player can make ?

PW300 · Sep 5, 2016

Another mistake I make is paying Omaha and Omaha hi-lo at the same time. If I'm multi-tabling and playing both of these at the same time, I have in the past got the tables mixed up when I've not been concentrating.

Playing but not knowing the math side of poker.

IMO the biggest mistakes are getting tilt and getting scant value from monsterhands.

Maybe this isn't the biggest mistake a new player is likely to make, but I've done this. I eventually just stopped playing PLO/8 (at least for the time being), because I kept playing the wrong hands at the wrong table.

People in general tend to concentrate on their weaknesses and not using their strong knowledge in some parts of poker. Also, overestimating opponents is a bad way: most usually if you try to play very highly specializied games like light 4-bet bluffs again fish or average player you just go busto (in tournaments).

there are several errors , but I as a dealer , I think the worst thing a player can do at a poker table and swearing , fighting with the dealer for the letters he gets , the dealer does not have any fault , he gets the cards and should know what they do with the cards you receive! and not blaming who is working

Maybe raise a lot if you have below a flush and 3 cards with the same colour appear on the deck.

I think that a player could make alot of mistakes, each with a different size in the different situations. It depends on alot of things.

For example, one same mistake can cost different amounts of chips, depending of the players choice and the choices of the other opponents. The factors are alot.

Im trying to say that the small mistake could be a big in some cases and the oppositely: big mistake, could be smaller in the different situations.

when started playing poker my biggest mistake is lack of positional awareness & not knowing a good poker odds

TeUnit · Sep 7, 2016

think folding to sitters is the worst mistake

Not knowing hand strength, and mismanaging a bankroll.

TargetLion · Sep 7, 2016

Loosing control of your bankroll, gambling and upsence of descipline!

So many. Playing on after your Loss Limit is reached. Playing on when you know you are beaten. Playing on after the flop when your hand did not improve Playing on tilt.

Paying off the NITS!!!

For me the worst mistake is not follow my instincts

henriquemaduro · Sep 9, 2016

Underestimate any player and the worst ever: TILT

gardin555 · Sep 10, 2016

The bankroll is important to control it, have discipline, do not play tired to have a focused mind, do not underestimate the villain and your game is not predictable.
And much more...

I'd go with chasing losses. See too many people try to win back their money right away after taking a tough loss.

A game plan is essential to have better chances to win

Samuel Lee · Sep 12, 2016

Playing while you are on tilt is the worst mistake you can do. You are literally going to pay for it.

Mr.$t0k · Sep 12, 2016

it is clear that the game with a lot of hands is detrimental to the bankroll, and write good or bad starting hands to play is not possible, have each their own, depending on your skills, so that the thought is deep but not perfect

jazzaxe · Sep 12, 2016

Not valuing your cards correctly. Those of you who can not fold a big pair post flop and those of you who have more outs than you are aware of would fit in the category
