What are our opponents most common and profitable mistakes at 6max?

[Jeff W]

I still think pre flop play is the biggest leak for bad players.

Calling down too much with weak hands against excessive action is another huge leak.

Being totally clueless about hand values.

I agree, poor preflop play which leads to playing dominated hands is the biggest mistake.

There are also players who love to resteal in the BB with J5o UI by raising the turn. --> When in doubt, tend to call down with any showdown value.

Really? Are you saying any pair? Any Ace high?

At 5/10 6max the severety of mistakes are as follows:

1. Plays too many hands preflop as an open-limp or cold-call
2. Doesn't rasie for value often enough
3. Doesn't steal-raise
4. Doesn't bluff/semi-bluff often enough
5. Drawing with insufficient odds
6. Always waits till the river to show agression

This fits to the LP-P-fish that hang around 5/10 6max. On a sidenote, the most common mistake against these types of opponent, aside from bluffing too much, is playing poor postflop when stealing against them.
I mean when they have 80% vpip you can steal against them with just about anything but that doesn't mean you should bet every street unimproved. I see a lot of decent players making this mistake, complaining about the fish' play when the hand is over.
"How could you call down with bottom pair?" Ofcause he's gonna call down with bottom pair because even though he's a fish he realise that you're just betting your overcards.
