What kind of errors do you consistently make?

[david1bear]

I have a horrible habit of calling suited cards that could potentially end up being straight flushes:0) no matter how small of a straight they could be ill almost go all in at times:0) There my kryptonite man:0)

 

[finaltable1]

sometimes make the same mistakes continuously is very harmful! what kind of error, you have persisted?

Slowplaying a great hand in online poker is a my problem.
I've played too much live and slowplaying 2pairs or a set is always profitable, appear weak with such good hand and win a bigger pot.
In the mean time online poker at all of the sites that I'm playing is not rewarding such slowplay. Hitting a set and check/calling opponents bets always leads to a disaster, The agressor is always rewarded in online games. Limp AA, call preflop all-in against AK and guy who shoved with AK hits a set or straight or flush... Hit a set on the flop, play check\call and see that turn and river are those 2 necessary cards for opponent to make a flush. Couple of days ago limped AA again, some brasilian player went all-in with A9os and hit quads. People say that it's not rigged... I believe them. But there is some strange difference between my 10 year online vs 8 year live poker experiences.
I think that in online poker you can slowplay only unbeatable and unreadable nuts, like calling a huge preflop raise with 8-3os, hit 3 3 3 flop and let your opponent bet with his AA. Hitting 8 10 K flop and betting 20-30% of the pot or checking with AK or AA is not a EV+ decision.

Ohh and I've started to slowplay good hands because of the popular GTO system... GTO means big aggression with weak hands and low agression with good hands, that's why I'm GTOing GTO players and show no agression at all with any hand. The bad part of this story is the river card, which way too often rewards the agressor.

I think that I check before the flop too often with my hands that have a small chance of catching a set

Can't seem to get the right/approx. read on opponents calling my premium hands. Every time i get pocket pairs (TT+) i've started raising big with them pre-flop, and there is always at least one call. If i get more than 2 calls... i'm in serious doubt, most likely to fold to any raise. It's not a matter of odds or equities, since i know them well enough, but 90% of the times, one of the callers, start betting the flop with Ax (NO A on flop), and i simply call, and almost always, they either hit the A, or they go allin on the river, making me fold. It drives me insane sometimes, mostly when some of them gloat in your face by showing you their cards.

My mistake is that I often take risks, not hoarfrost on the serious grounds.

 

[Manifestor]

my most frequent and terrible mistake is that I hope for good luck and not play by the nuts

 

[dazeboy79]

overcalling, overplaying big pairs, not raising proper sizes at proper times, etc, etc..

 

[jbear54321]

I pay better attention if I haven't played in a few days. If I've played a few days in a row I easily get distracted.

 

[WhiskeyFix]

Trying to see the flop with Ace 3/4/5, getting the lower pair on flop and opponents hit sets

 

[ghOst]

taking pot betters too lightly. They aggressively bet the pot in a lot of hands and I give them too much credit. I need to bluff more against c betters.

 

[Misaki]

I do not focus at all on cc tourneys when I play them because they are for free

 

[masik6]

The biggest mistake I make is walking into a game in a bad mood.

 

[Ropa]

I used to play alot of low pairs and pay high raises and even tried to be aggressive/bluff when had chance to gutshot. But lately i feel like its not worth losing your chips when you don't hit anything on the flop. Just give up.

 

[frost234]

Call all in with KK preflop. I often lose

that's not a mistake in 99,999999% of situations. nice hand.

 

[Cherepashkakry]

Constantly overrate hands and play too big banks.

 

[Becky Eubanks]

Not being able to tell when I am being bluffed

 

[FerC182]

my mistake online is that I can not keep my bank healthy, whenever I can raise my bank I end up getting involved in games with bigger limits and thus resetting the bank, this has been done several times, my game has improved a lot but the bank continues at zero

 

[frost234]

that's not a mistake in 99,999999% of situations. nice hand.

better to bet 4 or 5BB, maybe

 

[Misaki]

he mentioned calling allins, not about pushing kings.

 

[Krypton173]

Not respecting bankroll management.
Hence i regularly put myself in spots where i'm straight up miserable, i cant really say why i do it, maybe i enjoy the drama or i did it so much that it became a habit.

 

[liuouhgkres]

bluffing against fish. So many whales became rich thanks to me.

 

[cwdignus]

today i talked about making mistakes and keep committing with the possibility of correcting them ... i remembered this old post, i came to visit it and remember some ideas

 

[Polytarp]

Yep...we can all empathize with some of the gripes here since they're timeless. Overall, the slow-playing pays the biggest dividends...but in which games? Sometimes you're on the stinky end of the stick (which is to be expected) but it's a +ve EV activity...after about a 1000 or so games

 

[tigervball]

Biggest mistake in poker. No patience! You must wait for your time.
