Hi everyone! In your opinion, what is the most common mistake beginners make in poker? Playing too many hands, bluffing too much, or bankroll management? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Not betting enough for value.

It goes in peaks and troughs, when players bet more on the turn or river. I see that players overbet pots a lot more than they used to. Having a pot of $75 and then betting $200 into it, to force your opponent to fold, seems a common occurrence. I would not play like this, but some do, and if it picks up being done, then the chance for players like me to bet $25 into a $75 pot, will happen more often, and catch the opponent out.

I suppose the biggest mistake is managing the bank account, but hey, you learn that with time; I'm still learning 😁
