Default Re: What\'s the biggest mistake new players make?

Limit hold em it's like 15%-20%, depending on how good your postflop play is you can make certain hands profitable that wouldn't be.

The biggest error new players make is simply playing too many hands (aka seeing the flop).

Second biggest is going to far with hands, aka you play your crap K6o and flop comes Q62 and you call a bet to see the turn, call the turn bet, then fold at the showdwon because your 2 outer 6 did not come in.

Third biggest mistake is probably preflop cold calling. KJo is normally a playable hand, but if a good player raises in front of you, it's best to just fold. Beginners can't laydown something like ATo or QJo because it's pretty, even for multilple bets.
