This is just my thoughts,,,you can add your own if you like....
1. Playing too many hands preflop.
2. Chasing straights and flushes to the end.
3. Playing medium (or worse) starting hands out of position.
There are my thoughts, what are yours?
As always ,,,Take care
If you have a problem with my play just say it to my face. You dont have to start a thread about it.
I do hope your kidding, it was meant towards no one,,, but as it goes, " If the glove fits. then guilty as charged" !!! ROFLQuote:

True, but you will never get away from that type of play in freerolls.
Too freaking funny,,, booze and poker,,,,,maybe next on the list ????Quote:

90% of players in a freeroll want to see the river, just in case they might miss something. Eventually it will catch up to them. I just try to let them all Donk each other. Sometimes it is hard not to play and can find yourself playing at their level and it WILL catch up to you to.
Playing in freerolls is a whole different type of poker, if you ask me. Its just something else you need to learn. Just Know your opponents.
shoot, doesn't sound like just a beginners mistakes. Sounds like lot of veterans too.
playing too many hands is deff number 1 and chasing draws would be two.....also bankroll management if were talking about online poker...way too many beginers play out of there BR range and they end up going broke...they want to win alot quickly thats just not how it works....
the worst thing i did when i first started was deposit. lol. shoulda avoided it for a couple years before playing.
Freeroll play is definetly different , by now i know the players enough to like playing in pokerowned freerolls and doing pretty good for the most part. But other freerolls I tend to never do well in because i don't know most the players. I prefer $22 buyin for an actual game where i can play alot of hands preflop and actually bluff my opponents. but man when i qualified for the $109 100k gtd that was a fun real game.
hmmm id say my personal biggest mistakes were learning the game, then playing the game, 5 years on still playing yup pretty big mistakes id say :P
Overbluffing.
When you know your beat and they aren't letting down their guard... Don't feed them.
Like billyjustin said alot of veterans make this mistake to... like me. But yes it is a bigger problem for amateurs or " noobs "Quote:

Good list .... one and three are kind of the same thing ... so ya as True said move BM into the top 3.
Number one is definitely the biggest problem, playing way too many hands pre-flop and watching your stack go down too quickly.
LMAO Priceless!!!! "Putz"Quote:

Drinking and poker dont mix, but Im sure the hell going back to that game...juicy.
But green stuff and poker are for sure a match :)
ce naiba scriti voi acolo ?
The number 1 worse thing a beginner can do is play for real money, mistake number 1.They should start out with fr and learn the game for at least a mth..and try to build a bankroll through fr, but no one is patient anymore..the young guns are in the building throwing chips away like trash.no respect for the game at all..
At the cash tables, buying in for too much. You should never sit down at a cash table with a third of your roll!
also sometimes people stay at a table too long after they have a nice profit at cash games
