Re: Lou Kreiger on the biggest hold em mistake
[ QUOTE ]
What is the biggest mistake hold em players make? According to Lou Kreiger, in his book more hold em excellence, it is getting in KICKER TROUBLE.

The way you get into kicker trouble on a consistent basis is by taking weak cards to battle, i.e., playing too loosely. If you hit 1 pair with J8, you always have to worry about your kicker. You never have kicker trouble with AK. Playing too loosely is a very common and expensive error, though I don't know I would say it is the biggest.
Once you see the flop and hit TPWK, you usually shouldn't give it up easily.
