Mistake 1 will get you creamed. Don't go overboard "representing" things against players who aren't aware enough to give you credit for a specific hand or to alter their play as a result. In loose-passive games where you can't narrow the field much or steal pots, just play a lot of drawing hands cheaply and charge them the max when you hit. Mistakes 2 and 3 are easy to fix - just watch the upcards and be disciplined. Liveness matters a lot, _especially_ in loose-passive games where you have to improve to win. As for mistake 4, there are times when you just have to chase, swallow, and pay the bets - there are so many scare cards and tricky players in stud that in large pots it's often correct to call them down even when you're pretty sure you're beaten.
