What mistakes do we make the most?
1.I bluff too much
2.I go to the all in too often
3.I played too cautiously and missed potentially winning hands


poker is such an unusual game that we discover the above actions only after doing them - but how valuable would it be to know at what moment each of the three actions should be applied

Playing without attention to detail and playing without aggression and pressure on opponents.Table position in poker is important and requires attention to become a profitable player. Ignoring this aspect is a classic beginner's mistake. Understanding the value of position in poker is like opening the door to a more successful game.

but this tactic only works if we play against normal people, but you yourself know about poker fish, bingo players + a lot of poker shit

There is a good quote: “if you haven't found the fish at the table, then the fish is you!”. We can't win the whole table, so we have to try to play according to our opponent's style. Mistakes? I don't have any! But I don't have enough statistics. :unsure:

There is one main mistake that I constantly lose because of, and not only me, it is the mistake of most players - it is not to fold when it is necessary to do so. This is the mistake because of which I constantly fly out of tournaments, when I have a good hand, and the flop opened up as if it were mine, but I see that on the flop there are combinations higher than mine, and at the same time my opponent makes a bet equal to my all-in. In such situations, I want to believe that my opponent is bluffing, and my hand is higher than his, I make a call and basically always lose. When I often played live poker, in the establishments where I played, there was such an expression: "a fold is not a mistake", I do not know, the players themselves came up with it or heard or read about it somewhere, but the expression is very wise, and if I constantly remembered it in those moments when it is necessary to fold, then the results from the game would be much better.

Not handle a big loss and going all in with few chips with any hand.

I think my most common mistake when I play an important tournament is play way too passive, I definitely should be more aggressive.

I have my own version of the answer. Sometimes I just don't have the patience. And I think this is my biggest problem.

For me specifically I call or raise too much when I have one pair on a paired board. Say the flop is AA9 and I have a 9 in my hand. I overplay this way too much. 2 pair here is not a good hand. Stuff like that needs discipline to lay down. Fold and learn to folder another day, as Stu Unger once said wisely.

a lot depends on the value of the game - because the poker game is such a thing that does not give a second chance for free - if we have made a mistake once - we have to pay for it with our money, time and nerves

number 3, I think the biggest mistake is playing with fear of losing, if you enter a hand already afraid of losing it you become vulnerable and will tend to abandon a profitable hand and this is a weakness that will be exploited

The most common mistakes in poker games are haste, bluffing and, of course, the desire to win a tournament that has started as quickly as possible.

There are many mistakes when playing a tournament. to specify more about your points.
bluff: the most specific problem is not knowing how to abandon a bluff, you must be careful and know that many times your bluff was profitable. but with the cards on the table it stops being so. then you should save the chips.
Also know how to handle the amount of bets, if you want to bluff on the river your stack cannot

to be so minor to the well
get value from important hands: you don't have to be afraid of losing, you can make mistakes. But you will be calmer by making a mistake than if you don't make the move you thought about and then regret it. "turn calls" are part of the game. I don't recommend doing it with players you haven't analyzed for several hands.
And below I saw that they name concentration when playing, you will notice this when you don't remember how you lost the hand. that is to say
situation: you lose a very important hand in the tournament
I ask you: how did you shake hands? And if you don't know how to answer, it's because you didn't pay enough attention.

Sometimes we make very common mistakes such as when we are very aggressive and we do not control that, sometimes it happens that we are predictable and they will pay us very often. It must be balanced with courageous hands.

I play too cautiously. I always try to avoid taking unnecessary risks, and this ‘safe play’ does not allow me to get the result I want.
