Common poker bloopers
The most common poker bloopers in a row.
Calling until the river .. without having anything in your hands. Many players hope to improve their hand at the turn or the river which happens rarely (and even then it is possible that someone else shows a better combination). Weak player
Overestimating your hand. Playing with an Ace and a low kicker (For example A2 is a pretty weak hand. Other players with an Ace very likely to have a better kicker than a Two). Entertainment player
Bluffing too much. a killer. Someone that bluffs too much at the wrong moment will be defeated in the end. Beginning players think that bluffing is part of the game however they use the technique too many times in order to stay credible. a mistake you will have to pay for! Bluffer
Playing against too advanced opponents. When playing against an opponent that has won several bigger pots from you, the chance is pretty high that this opponent is able to "read" you. Don't try to win back your losses and leave the table. Some players really are too good to win from. Accept your loss and look for a table with weaker players. Entertainment player
Deciding too fast. Take your time and think through the possibilities of your opponent. Calling big bets too fast can be killing. Even though you think you have the best hand, always check if you haven't forgotten anything. And when checking too fast you indirectly show that you have a weak hand so never be too fast with checking either. Weak player & Maniak
Not choosing your moments properly Never call all-ins with minor hands like AJ or KQ In case a player in an early position, with a bigger stack than you goes all-in then fold hands like AQ or 55. In the long run better hands will come by, so do not immediately put your total stack at risk. Weak player & Entertainment player
Wanting to see the flop with drawing hands. In case you'd go all-in once every five hands you will very likely never see the final table of a tournament. Raise with strong hands but do not immediately throw all your chips in the pot. Hands like AK are powerhouses, but if you do not hit anything you will loose from a pair of two's. Just be the smart player and raise in order to see the flop When you hit a K bet the pot. When your opponent then folds, just be happy with your small pot. Sometimes two of those pots are worth equally as one double-up, but then without the risk. Maniak
