What's your constant Hold'em mistake?

Elfina777 · May 10, 2021

My mistake is that when my opponent immediately goes all-in and I have AA in my hands, I often call him back and lose with this card.

quick thoughtless actions, also pull the draw for expensive

My mistake in the game is that I sometimes play when I want to sleep or play at 4-5 tables at once and lose concentration in the game, but it calms me down that I play freerolls and do not invest money.

In my case lately my confidence is killing me, I win a couple of hands and then I play even knowing that my hands are inferior, waiting to complete a project. It is that if I don't play them and I see a straight or a flush and the world falls apart

You need to stop playing this way. Stop looking at the results of the hands you are not in and comparing against your hole cards. That is a certain path to giving up poker or being a perpetual fish.

The easiest way for you to achieve this result, is to start playing more tables at the same time. Play two or three to start with. You will soon find that you can fold the crap hands and it makes absolutely no difference if they would have won.

Remember, you are playing the long game. In the short term, lots of swings...but in the long game, it's all profit.

Plan your game and then game the plan. All else is noise and distraction. You cannot plan for randomness. Just give yourself a path through the nothingness and stick to it.

That is far too simple an example to be called a mistake.
What are you losing to?
How often?
Have you reviewed your hand history to see what your real success is (in chips/BB, not hands won) playing AA?
Next, look at action and determine, how many AA shove/calls did you win (and chip/BB count)...now compare this with every other hand you've had. Are you still going to tell me that 72o is making as much money for you as AA?

What happens when you take position into account?
(When I do, it seems I only make money playing CO, BTN, SB or BB. Overall, playing a given hand from UTG/EP through MP yields very poor results. That is reality.

So, in the end, your quip about AA getting cracked does not contribute much to the discussion other that to demonstrate that you play with emotion rather than confidence in your strategy,

Do the math...your mind will change.

I tend to raise often on garbage cards. Usually it doesn’t work as I never assume that there’s better cards out there.

Stringy · Feb 25, 2022

not realising what better hands opponents may have when i have what I think is a super strong hand

Os humanos tendem a cometer erros. :dontknow:
Considero ultrapassar limites e falta de agressividade, talvez, o mais problemático para mim.

Você tem um erro significativo no poker online com o qual está lutando, mas ainda está no processo?

I often make the same mistakes when I'm not focused, including being too aggressive when it's not necessary.

Hemified · Feb 25, 2022

Knowing what they have and still calling like a dumbass..lol. other then that I think its not having enough time to play. Good luck and remember to have fun while your crushing it.

gichka97 · Feb 25, 2022

In the beginning, my biggest mistake was to play until I loose everything and not stopping, when I am in a bad run.

The other not so small mistake was when I play some kind of tournaments and I can not get a hand, then with my last dollars in the bank, I usually get into some big tournament with biggest prize fund and I have thought that will smash them and get the big money, but unfortunately in these kind of tournaments, the players are better and easily past me.

Natasha Veneska · Feb 25, 2022

bluffing too much, and getting called.

Genep66 · Feb 25, 2022

Bluffing often when the blinds are small, but I don’t stop as the blinds increase. Betting to often with garbage cards.

Lupus · Feb 25, 2022

Mine is overvaluing top pair and playing too fast. When i play too fast then i call hands that i really shouldn't

danoscar · Feb 25, 2022

Hello. It is the infamous AA all-in

jason2626 · Feb 25, 2022

Waiting for putzes who think there on TV playing for millions have to hold up the game when it's there time lol

FIERROS · Feb 25, 2022

My mistake is impatience.

FlushKings311 · Feb 25, 2022

Poker

Being waaaay to impatient. It will cost you big if you try to play to fast. I am more profitable when I slow down and don't try and go all in like it's my last hand. You never know the next hand could be better than the last.

ATL2000 · Feb 25, 2022

I have a problem with freaking out and overbetting hands when I probably have my opponent drawing pretty thin. When I am running bad, it feels like they are going to chase me down on the river every time. That usually leads to me frantically shoving on the turn instead of betting for value.

BoddJonar · Feb 25, 2022

Probably calling down too light.
Still struggling with this

davidkimtai89 · Feb 25, 2022

all in with one pair ,

vaselbrassel · Feb 25, 2022

biggest mistake of my life

the biggest mistake for me would defiantly be not winning every single tournament i 've ever played in believe me I've had a lot of mistakes hahaha!

:joyman::deal:

Redman1902 · Feb 26, 2022

My biggest mistakes always happen when I don't take enough time for my decisions. If my decision time would increase with each street and with increasing pot size, my win rate would probably look better.

To6Po6 · Feb 26, 2022

I lose concetrat after playing 4-5 hours!

TomCj · Feb 26, 2022

Pushing

My biggest mistake when playing is trying to push another player
off a pot they have previously checked, especially when they raise my bet

I know this is a common "trap" technique
but, I have a very hard time backing off
and letting the pot (and my bet(s) go

Working on it though

My biggest and most common mistake in hold'em is that I can't control my actions after a big pot win.

What's your constant Hold'em mistake?
