Here are a few mistakes I see a lot while I'm at the low level buy-ins for tourneys. I consider ten dollar buy-ins and under as low level. I see a lot of players defending there blinds in early rounds of the tourney, this causes you to leak chips with hands you probably shouldn`t be in the pot with, out of position. The chips you leak are hurting you when you finally get a strong hand to max gain with. You need to be able to protect your strong hands. This causes you to be short stacked and forces you to then change your game play. I also see a lot of players trying to steal on the button verses players in the blinds who bet out on almost every flop when they are first to act. So I say knowing how the players play on the table before you open your game up. Fold a few buttons in early rounds and build up a solid table image. Then try to steal verses players you have an idea on how they play. Remember you can`t bluff a players who doesn't take the game serious.

Excellent comment.

take bad beat and think that the game is luckier, if you overdo it and end up entering other more expensive tournaments, start tilting ... I speak for own experience, this is a big mistake, it took bad bet follow the game ...

Bad beat can never influence your game. In most hands you are open to lose. If there is 0.01% the villain or you still have chance to win the hand.

the main mistake of poker players is a game not based on bankroll, revaluation of their cards, a rally of unnecessary medium-sized banks, a game with weak tuzami, well, especially a bluff!

The biggest mistakes you make in poker are when you play an unsavory, tired ... When you play poker under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, when you do not have enough concentration, it all adversely affects the game ...;)

I indicate meditation and learn more about self control.
After the domain you will not feel shaken by a bad beat.
Of course, understand the math of the game.
If the villain has a 0.01% chance you can still lose the hand.

Trusting your gut

i can't tell you how many times I've folded top pair (low kicker) being scared off by big bets (usually draws/bluffs). If you think you've got the best hand trust your gut feeling and never look back

For me one of the biggest mistakes it is to play excesively confident as if you already have the first place in a tournament. Even if you have a big stack, trying to underestimate other players at your table can be a fatal mistake, I have seen this in so many tournaments that its incredible how a big stack player in 2 or 3 minutes can lose his or her head and be eliminated. I think playig carefully not to loose when having a big stack is a great strategy.

Not knowing when to take a break or not being able to make yourself take a break is another huge mistake.

In my opinion a bad game is a game that is not yours .... you should not copy the prominent poker players ... play your game !!!

Usually, the first mistake that most players make is.... TO SIT DOWN TO PLAY......

Ego is one of Poker's biggest enemies. Complicated.

Do not say copy, but you have to learn from the best and apply it. Basic evolution.

The principal mistake of poker player is failing to recognize situations of positive expectation and the discipline to operate only in an environment of positive expectation.

I do not have a problem with the TV while playing poker, I have mistakes when I often make BLEF against new players and I play very weakly in the middle of the tournament when big bets and I'm afraid that my good cards will not play in the game and I needed to play aggressively !

Another big one I have made, lol, is letting another player "get in your head" like when some big stack moron is stealing on the bubble and you just get sick of it. You can't let emotion into the game. Live long and prosper...Vulcan wannabe

The problem with watching TV while playing is that you do not pay attention to every hand on your desk. This causes most of the time you do not know who you are playing against, you lose tells and you do not know how to exploit a bluff. Leaving the useful life of your tournament shorter.

Without patience it will not go very far. Let him steal, or simply make a 3bet, often works well in the bubble. Analyze the situation and see if it is worth doing this.
