There are 7 main mistakes that, in my opinion, lead to difficulties in the game, and therefore to large losses:
1. Obsession with protecting the blinds.
Many players are very zealous in defending their blinds. They let their ego decide for them. Others believe that by posting the blind, they have already invested a lot and do not want to waste this money just like that. Protecting the blind with weak cards is detrimental to your bankroll. If you show discipline and fold bad cards. First, you save your chips, and second, make the stealing blinds do it more often, but when you really have a good card, you can surprise them by luring them into a trap.
2. Few fold.
For example, you often limp into play and always call someone's raise after that. Or here's another case. There was a raise, you called, and after you there was another increase and you call again. Such a game will not lead to any good. If you have cards in your hand with which you certainly want to enter the drawing, you can do this by raising. Otherwise, just play a pass and wait for the card you want. Patience and discipline must always be present at the poker table along with aggression in order to achieve the required profit.
3. Almost on tilt.
We all know that there can be a situation at the table that will annoy you. This happens very often with aggressive and emotional players.
4. "Fancy Play Syndrome" or FPS.
A classic example of an FPS is a big loss in a hand where you had a monster on the flop, but with your wrong moves you gave your opponent an excellent chance to hit the nuts on later streets. This usually happens when you misjudge your opponent.
5. Playing small pairs from early position.
As soon as you see a small pair, you often overplay it, hoping to catch a set or even four of a kind. There are several problems with these pairs in early position. But how often will you collect the set? Most likely not so often, and even more so. However, if you are playing heads-up, then pocket pair is a good starting hand anyway.
6. Wrong table selecting and play without analyzing opponents.
Many of you have probably heard the phrase - "If in the first ten minutes of the game you could not determine who the fish is, then this fish is you!" I recommend that you study your opponents to assess their level and choose the most profitable game for you.
7. Failure to fold a losing hand.
For example, you flop two pair, but the flop is suited, and the turn comes another card of the same suit. The opponent, by his actions, makes it clear that he has a flash and is trying to get a lot of chips from you. What if the theoretical straight is closed on the turn? How many outs do you have on a full house? Is it worth paying a lot to try and catch him? Better to wait for a more reliable situation and win the pot.P.S. If someone can tell about mistakes or tips, complete the list. It is very interesting to know the opinions of other players.
