My biggest mystake when i play poker is tilt. You know you can play really great sometimes, going agressive time after time and your stack growing up, but one bad hand can destroy all your game. Patience can go away really fast, so if you want to win you need to control yourself.

I think my mistakes are:
1) Too often call opponents who are bluffing against me (almost never I believe in the strength of the hand of particularly aggressive opponents)
2) Sometimes I lose control, especially when I get a very strong hand, because of this I make too big a bet and do not get from the opponent to the maximum
3) It's very difficult for me to fold AK and a few more hands (not only pre-flop)

1) playing when tired or having had a couple of more drinks more than I should have had before playing with real money.
2) see (1)

I guess that my problem is that I know that to do well, poker needs full attention and concentration. But I only play when looking for interesting entertainment.

Play too long and do not see the difference - the player bluffs or not.

Bad bankroll management, chasing losses, playing too tight, playing long session (I get distracted easily), etc.

My biggest mistakes

1. Second guessing my live play reads
2. Always assuming people at the table have way more skill than they do.
3. Not taking enough breaks. Sometimes you just need to walk away for a few minutes, but I prefer to keep grinding in fear of missing a big hand.

My biggest mistake is splashing in pots I shouldn't be in due to boredom and lack of concentration

I feel you, sometimes when I'm in a boring slow play table I have a bad habit of doing anything else but focusing on the game. Best thing to do in this situation is:
1) Don't play poker if you're bored
2) Open another table to boost the excitement

All these 3 common mistakes though are all normal, you need to discipline yourself and stop your greed/tilt take over your bankroll!

Another problem is not trusting my instincts.

Do not throw the cards even knowing that my opponent has a better hand and is often because I think the opponents are trying to bluff me. Thats happen in many freerolls because MTT of cash I am very tigh player.

Playing live I accidentally mucked my hand in a pretty big $8/$16 LO8 game because I thought my low was no good.

It turned out I had the only low and had read my opponents' cards incorrectly.

I verify the winning hands a lot more carefully now! :D

I had problems with bankroll management and boredom when playing cash games, so I am just sticking to tournaments for a while.

Good luck to you! :D

This he meant.
Tilt- is the state of the poker player caused by strong emotions from wins or losses, in which he plays in an uncharacteristic style and starts to make a lot of mistakes in the game.

You have the opportunity to refuse poker. Let's play chess with me)
Not, in chess there is no drive that gives poker. This is not the same)

The biggest mistake I have when I'm in the first place in the tournament, I try to put pressure on the players with my stack, a good card does not come for a long time, I start to lose and quickly descend from the first place.

I think this is a mistake of so many players. Including in my case it happens.
