What mistake do you make the most when you play poker?

[t1tpfdc]

Lack of Patience and Discipline !
After couple hours, throwing rags and forced to fold mediocre hands,
I lose patience and then make all of the above mistakes,
and probably a lot of others too

My problem is donks, straight up too many donks, always a 90 percent favorite when going all in and they catch their cards. Never fails.

My mistake is probably related to knowing when a rush is over. We all get those card rushes, I've gotten to where I can wait for them, do pretty damn well when they happen, but to often I try to stretch them one hand too far. Often deadly!

My problem is donks, straight up too many donks, always a 90 percent favorite when going all in and they catch their cards 10% of the time. Never fails.

FYP

 

[MrMuckets]

Playing tired.

 

[switch0723]

doulbe barreling calling stations with just overcards

 

[wickedlovely]

Lately been forcing the action too much and not listening to what players tell me with their bets.

my current bad habit as well oh and not being willing to drop an obviously beat hand.

 

[zachvac]

lol, 4 people on the forum are the best player in the world .

Losing anything in the versinity of 20% of my bankroll. I go on a massive tilt attempting to win my money back with any Raggy Ace.

 

[rvp11]

Losing even 20% of my Bankroll makes me go on tilt and Im a little ATM as I attempt to recover my losses by going all in with a raggy Ace.

My biggest mistake playing poker is turning on the bloody computer...

 

[iwudja]

not dropping a hand i no will be beaten

 

[iwudja]

and also not going all-in enough pre-flop

 

[ajrobin]

By far the biggest mistake i used to make is latching onto my hand and automatically assuming its the nuts. E.g ill flop two pair on the flop and despite te turn and river ill want to bet all three streets. Im managaing to reign myself in alot more now after reading a couple books and working on my board reading and hand strength skills. Still need to check myself though...

 

[riverboatrat]

Yea the only reason to check down when you have someone ALL IN is because you didn't catch a nice piece of that flop. Learned from your mistake though. Guess the guy had more chips than you?

yeah about 10k more than me

but I learnt from this and tonight played a live game, 83 starters and finished 7th in the money.

And I didnt get great hands, however having learnt this crucial mistake I bet out hard on the flop on 2 occasions saving myself alot of chips.

1st was AK, I raised an all in to isolate and I got called. flop came king high and I bet it, villain thought for a long time then showed me k10 and mucked.

turn was a 10.

second situation was similar where I would have beaten outright on the river.

Playing tournies and sit and goes when I have lost at cash game is my biggest leak......

2 days ago I lost 200 dollars in cash game, and I began to play sit and goes and lost 100 dollars that was on 12 dollars and 6 dollars 18 players and 9 players......

Granted I'm at a much lower level, but I'm the opposite. Sometimes an MTT is just what I need for a change of pace to get me fired up again.

You know, I think I run into plenty of those late on a Friday and Saturday night. It seems like the weekends are always easier money. It's probably a combo of alcohol and recreational players playing on the weekend

 

[arahel_jazz]

All of the above.

 

[bustermoves]

my biggest mistake...hmmm...probobly lack of attention,or is it lack of interest.6 of one ,half a dozen of the other.get bored very quickly,with very slow play,or constant all ins,makes me dump my stack just to get out of there.

 

[xCashin_inx]

I play almost only ring games 6 handed and my biggest mistake is playing too tight, alot of players think its best to just sit and play quality hands but Ive learned very quickly any 2 cards are playable in certain situations.

IMO the looser you play the better as long as your not out of control.

 

[beardyian]

My mistake is believing that after a raise of 5BB i wouldnt be called by J2

 

[NineLions]

Something close to beardyian;

coming over the top too often when I've shown aggression and get aggression back at me.

 

[Jagsti]

I overvalue top pair an unimproved overpairs. I know I do it and I'm thinking about it when I'm betting but I keep doing it like a moron.
