The absolute worst mistake a Poker player can make? Muck the winning hand. Yes, I've seen it done by professionals.
 
My mistake was to have that favorite hands, mine was J9s .... lost a lot of it ... I now see that there is not the best or the worst hands ... but know plays with with received hands

Our J and 9 and I today in the poker school had almost 8,000 players have been eliminated in the last letter J and J in hand and finished fifth. Then I went with the money to invest in a satellite pro sunday Storn and was again eliminated by J and J in hand by A and A. A disaster Dee Jay Jay
 
Lately I see players doing wrong is slowplayer ... many do not examine the board properly and end up losing
 
The worst thing in my humble opinion (and the mistake me myself make a lot) is to call good, or even bad cards, in hope for a good flop/turn/river even when the odds are really small. Sometimes you can get lucky, but most of the time you will end up losing your hand and thus losing your chips.
 
errors always different, and most of the players know their
errors but repeat them))) I like always
win MTT

The biggest mistake a player can make is not folding. Poker players live in denial and just call with a hand that they know is beat instead of asking what can I really beat?
 
the biggest mistake is not being honest with yourself ( example: its not my fault,i was just unlucky in this 100 tournaments or 10k cash games)
 
The worst psychologically is playing poorly near the bubble. Trying to be the hero and getting busted feels awful. You'll think about it for a long time. The bubble is for patience unless your a big stack
 
Well over thinking your hand is a problem by itself. Stick to the basics. Bet,win, repeat.
 
My opinion is play many hands ... play drunk ... with the head in other place...

Paying off the NITS!!!

Please pay your local nits.

I'm not a super nitty player but whenever I play my local card room at least one person points out how nitty I am and STILL calls me down and sees they lost the hand.
 
1. The drawing too many hands
2. The game against bankroll management
3. Unreasonable bluff
4. Slowplay
5. Playing out of position
6. Neglect stakes opponents
7. Inability to fold
8. Login to the game called with premium hands
9. Coloring hoping to "catch" a weak draw
10. Drawing clearly dominated hands
 
Lots of tables and does not focus on any game atopilote lead to zero
 
theres a lot of good examples above. 1 of my mistakes is if i'm semi bluffing into a pot and i don't get there, i force myself to make a play or jam on the river cause the pot is to big by that point. someday i will fix this =P
 
The worst mistake that you can make is to have fear to play a hand because you are thinking about losing money you spent in that tournament or table instead of thinking in real things that matter to make a logic decision.
 
Being a repeating calling station with hands that need alot of help. A couple of plays is fine, but if you find yourself expecting to win on miracle flops on a regular basis, you will find your stack dwindling to the point where you have little to no fold equity.
