After playing live for a while, I’ve started noticing certain patterns at low-stakes tables that repeat over and over.

Some examples I’ve seen:

  • Calling too wide preflop “because it’s live”
  • Overvaluing one pair in multi-way pots
  • Never bluffing rivers
  • Playing scared with big stacks
  • Limping constantly instead of raising
At the same time, live poker feels softer than online in many ways — but only if you adjust correctly.

So I’m curious:

What are the most common mistakes you consistently see in $1/$2 or $1/$3 live games?

And more importantly — which ones are the most profitable to exploit?

Would love to hear both beginner and experienced perspectives.
