Of course, we all make mistakes as a beginner or novice poker player.

What are some mistakes made that help us spot a beginner?
Playing with junk is the mistake that allows me to recognise a beginner. I'm not talking about playing with junk in general, because sometimes experienced players play weak hands very well, but rather about the game of a beginner who, having junk in his hands, tries to play as if he has straight, full house, or quads. To be more precise, aggressive play with junk allows me to understand that my opponent is most likely a beginner.

The main mistake is play tournaments that are too big for our bankroll. even a good player can lose all his money if play tournaments that are too big for our bankroll.

Another mistake a recreational player makes is that he thinks he is a great player by winning a tournament, and then when he loses money, he blames the room, because online poker is rigged, but he can't see that he is a bad player and that he just got lucky one day in a tournament.

Beginners often play all hands in a row.
Beginners often play either too aggressively or too passively.
Novice players do not use their position at the table or use it incorrectly.
Novice players often make intuitive decisions, and although sometimes such decisions are successful, such intuitive playing on the distance leads to losses and disappointment.

Play all hands, not be aggressive with a good hand and tilt.

Конечно, все мы, будучи новичками или начинающими игроками в покер, совершаем ошибки.

Какие ошибки помогают нам распознать новичка?
Limpit. Too aggressive or tight. Many hands open. Wants to see the flop.

I'd say if someone keeps showing up in multi-way pots far too often (not just limping but in general) it is usually a sign of a beginner, also overbluffing

A player who loses an all-in and drops below average in chips, then quickly gives up and goes all-in on the next hand and everything.

When I started, in the early days, I had a problem that I didn't understand all the combinations very well and didn't care too much about the strength of my hand. Without this understanding, I often played with garbage and sometimes, even often, there were situations when I just didn't understand why I was winning and why I was losing. So, perhaps the biggest problem for beginners is that they just don't understand the basics of the game very well, let alone something more :)

I think most of the mistakes involve limping:
1. open limping
2. sitter limping
3. high blind limping
4. button limping
5. limp folding to short stacks

First at all take a course on the CC forum and determine your range and size of raise and then play with this knowledge and have fun
Good luck

Everyone makes mistakes, both beginners and pros, that’s what’s good about poker, a pro can also go on tilt, in any case, if you see that a player is making obvious mistakes, you need to take advantage of it!

Beginners often play too many hands, not knowing when to fold, and they also tend to "chase" losses by sticking with bad hands in hopes of getting lucky. They also might give away a lot of info with obvious betting patterns or emotional reactions.
