A very common mistake made by beginners is to think that you have already put many chips in the pot, you can not give up the hand anymore. You can not win a pot by just putting more chips in it. There may be cases where the pot odds justify a call, but if you are sure you will win the hand, there is no way to improve your game if you are not so sure you should leave immediately. The money you have put into the pot is no longer yours, and you can not get it back just by playing a hand to the end.
