Biggest mistakes newbies make - share time...
So I was thinking about some of the biggest mistakes I see newbies... donks make. So far my list goes as follows.
Blind Stealing - All In.
Why is this bad.... they risk their whole stack to steal the blinds... Sure it induces a lot of folds, but you are risking your whole tournament life on just grabbing blinds.
Premium hands - Overbet the pot.
I see this a lot in low level tournaments... Players get dealt hands like AQ, AK, AA, KK, QQ etc... and immediately all in... So many times I've seen them get cracked... Again why risk your whole stack... Especially when the blinds are so extremely low!? If you are short stacked this makes sense.... but when the blinds are only 10/20 and you have 1500 in your stack... no... just no....
Anyone else got any good examples of newbie mistakes?
