What is your biggest mistake in poker?

[ErnestoAhp]

I have noticed that I have often made the mistake of paying for an All-in, with a low pair of cards. Now I try to accept an All-in from 9-9 or T-T upwards.

Just the same, paying all ins with non paired hands, preflop. But I'd adjust all in if bigger than 12bbs only with QQ+

For me, the biggest mistake has always been tilt. Not one bad hand, but what I did after it. Calling too loose, chasing losses, trying to win it back fast. I’m working on it now and it’s getting better, but it’s still a process. Patience is something I’m still learning in poker.

Para mí, el mayor error siempre ha sido inclinarme. No una mala mano, sino lo que hice después. Igualar demasiado laxo, recuperar las pérdidas e intentar recuperarlas rápidamente. Estoy trabajando en ello y estoy mejorando, pero aún es un proceso. La paciencia es algo que todavía estoy aprendiendo en el póke.

It has happened to me several times too, sometimes I miss moments when I should have bet and won the hand, then when I saw all the cards on the table I say, that pot was mine if I had moved with chips before.

I do not regret the hands I play aggressively and get beat...I regret the fairly strong hands that I, for some reason or another, simply fold...only to watch my cards hit the flop.

This is how it is to accept an allin with low cards, it's not that recommended, sometimes we run the risk, having a couple of KK or AA, we lose in a bad streak.

My biggest mistake is wanting to play too many hands; it ends up ruining my chips.

For me, the most dangerous mistake has been playing AK or AQ too aggressively on the bubble. In many spots, folding those hands is actually the smarter and more profitable decision. Bubble pressure and ICM make these hands far less powerful than they look. Sometimes it really feels like the poker room “rewards” patience more than hero calls in those situations.

The biggest mistake I make in poker is overestimating my hand and playing too many hands, especially weak ones, which leads to big losses.

The mistakes I made when I started playing were varied, and it's hard to say which one was the biggest. I think the biggest mistake was that I played too many hands, played in a rather chaotic style, without bankroll management, and this regularly led to losses.

gambler's fallacy. just because i bet heavy early doesn't mean i can't fold later if the cards don't come the right way

Problems with tilt are the most significant, followed by folding too much post-flop.

I think one of the biggest mistakes is to chase your losses. Sometimes you just have bad beats. And if you let that tilt you and cloud your jugement, you might make poor decisions and you might start playing bad. And continue loosing more money. Which will annoy you even more. I think, in poker, you just need to accept sometimes you just have loosing sessions and there's nothing you can do about it, even though you played ok, the results are just disappointing.

I think I need to learn to play more cautiously on the bubble. I often get knocked out at this stage because I continue to play my usual poker. I think that's my main mistake at the moment, if we're talking in general terms.

 

[ebazynski]

Gee, where do I start? How about waiting to long to get it in when short stacked?

 

[yomyyomy]

My mistake is to play everything without patience since it counts too much in tournaments

My mistake was not managing my bankroll. This mistake led to significant losses and disappointment. I realised too late how important bankroll management is and how much it affects our results.

Probably my biggest mistake is if I don't call my bluff to the end.

Translation to English:

Definitely, when I played on my own, my biggest mistake was bankroll management.

 

[csabika94]

I'm playing too many games! Which is worth it anyway, I just can't slow down in the elimination phase...

My biggest mistake was gambling with money I couldn't afford to lose. This is the source of most of my problems, which have accompanied me for years in gambling.
