For Lou I thought it was writing a book about hold'em in the first place, so people now know he doesn't know what he is talking about in that game.

For the money he's made on that book, I'd accept being known as an incompetent HE player. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Only if he's talking about full-ring games. And even then, I don't know it's the BIGGEST mistake you can make.

The *most common* mistake players make is not considering position when deciding which hands to play. Understanding position is the biggest difference between a winning player and a losing player.

That being said, I'd say the *worst* mistake a player can make is whatever mistake he consistently makes that is costing him money, and keeps doing it because he doesn't realize it is a mistake. It could be not defending the blinds, not value-betting, not calculating pot odds / implied odds properly, playing too many speculative hands, not raising to thin the field, cold-calling too many pre-flop raises, slow-playing AA or KK, or playing Ax too often and getting outkicked at showdown... everyone's "biggest" mistake is different.
