Common Poker Mistakes - #1 Mistake New Players Make

The first and worst mistakes players make is playing without good cards. Seriously, what do you think will happen when you play with bad cards?

The first step is to know which cards are good and which are bad. Which cards have a high chance of winning and which don't. Then you must know the different hands and their strengths.

Another mistakes new players always make is they just don't bet enough. They aren't aggressive enough.

When you limp in pre-flop, or call other players, or check, you are displaying weakness. If you are this weak you shouldn't be in the pot to begin with. It is much better to bet out first and reraise people because this conveys strength. You will find you win a lot more pots by people just sheer folding by doing this.

The third mistake new players make is they don't understand basic pot odds correctly, like those that are needed for a draw. New players will play middle suited connectors, hit and miss on the flop, and keep playing because they thought they'd get a flush.'

This is fine to do, if you are doing it properly. You need to know your true chance of hitting your draw card, and then look at the pot size and calculate how much you can afford to actually be paying for this chance. By stacking the odds in your favor these draws are profitable. If you don't, well, you simply lose money.
