Mistakes in Poker

Never bet more than 10%-20% of your winnings on a hand your not sure about

The biggest mistake a beginner poker player can make is being scared to call or raise his or her Hold-em hand. I've seen this alot with my friends, I could jut run over them on the felt all day until they learned a little more.

My biggest problem was bankroll manangement. I didn't realize there was such a thing until joining a forum. Had cashed in a couple tournaments and withdrew most of it. Didn't account for variance or playing within a bankroll.

Playing too many hands. You should really only play premium hands as a begginer.

Just a couple to add to the list...:)

For a minute there forgot we were talking poker. Was focusing on those keywords and got side tracked, I'm back now though, sort of.

the biggest mistake i see when playing is overplays aces or slowplaying too slow....

i think that one of the most important things a poker player must have is proper bankroll managment and self contorl to avoid tilt and bad sessions.
