Mistakes in Poker

Knowing when to value bet or when to just check because you have showdown value is huge.
Overplaying pocket pairs. (Most of the time you're flipping at best)
Risking too much with hands you're unsure about.
Bankroll management.

This list can go on and on and on and... lol

I would say playing too many hands.

I make a lot of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think one of my biggest problems right now is learning how to hold onto a big stack once I get it.

Overplaying hands and thinking top pair is the nuts because it rarely is. Most fish struggle to fold top pair or overpairs. Or calling with the 2nd or 3rd nuts to a river raise against a player who is not capable of turning made hands into bluffs. And even if he is bluffing like 10% of the time over the long term its not a profitable call. What distinguishes a loosing from a winning player is that winning player loose less from their 2nd best hands and loosing players go broke.

A big mistake is playing when you are tired and not paying attention

That's easier said than done

sometimes when i hurry iw in a lot, but happens to lose too

Bluffing a donkey, highly un-recommended ;)

Accidentally clicking the wrong button or typing in a wrong amount to bet or raise then clicking the button.
