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.

In my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes beginners make is playing too many hands. When I first started, I wanted to see every flop because I thought any two cards could win. Over time I realized that being patient and waiting for stronger starting hands made a huge difference.
Another mistake is letting emotions take over after a bad beat. It's easy to try and win your chips back immediately, but that's usually when even more mistakes happen. Taking a short break and sticking to your strategy has helped me a lot.

I think the biggest mistake beginners make is playing too many hands and not understanding how important position is. A lot of new players focus on the excitement of seeing flops, but they don't realize how many difficult situations they create for themselves with weak starting hands.
Another common mistake is being too results-oriented. They win a big pot and think they played perfectly, or lose a hand and assume they made a mistake. The best players focus on whether the decision was correct based on the information they had at the time. Tightening up preflop, learning position, and reviewing hands regularly will fix a lot of leaks early on.

Hello 🙂
I believe the mistakes beginners make are fear and being too quick to feel overconfident.
In my view, gaining some experience or simply mastering a few poker skills—is worth the investment of several months of hard work and continuous practice.
Good luck.
