The 10 biggest beginner mistakes

1. Fear of another player. If you fear another player all youre decissions will be bad because you are not thinking about poker you are thinking about your apponent.


2. Playing too many tables. When you are new you need time to study your apponents and learning how they play.


3. Playing too many starting hands. If you have a bad hand you do not play it unless you're rich or stupid.


4. Being friendly at the table. If you are new you do not have time to chat with the other players. You need that time to study your opponents.


5. Bluffing from an early position. It is always best to bluff when there are just a few players left and when you have seen what they have been doing for some rounds.


6. Not having a pre-defined bank strategy. Always now how much you can loose or win everyday that you play. For instance if you have $100 in your player account say that I can loose $10 but if I do that I will call it a day. This also means that If you can loose $10 you do not bring the whole $100 dollars when sitting down.


7. Playing above your bankroll. If you do not have a fat wallet play the smaller stakes tables first. That way you can loose and learn and not get bankrupt quickly. When you feel ready move to a bigger stakes table.


8. Bad positional play. It's always best to see everybody elses move before you make yours.


9. Play it cool. Think before you act! Don't let your emotions run your game because you will most likely lose in the long run.


10. Not getting it. If you have a king and an queen and the flop is 3--7-8 and none of the suites match your hand. FOLD do not play crappy hands.
