Curiosity. When knowing almost 100%that the opponent’s hand is better than yours, you go to the end to see it.

Lack of patience.
Lack of bankroll management.
Lack of discipline.
Lack of mental toughness/tilt control.
Lack of understanding variance even when they say they do. They really don't.

Cheers!!!

Playing like maniacs and overshoving. Takes one decent player knowing how to play against it to bust or steal a huge portion of their stack or one stroke of bad luck against someone.

On the Preflop All-in with AA vs Pair 22
And he has two and me Game Ower.
(Deep stack) open shoving with aces is not necessary a costly mistake, it mostly costs you money you don't win (basically in 90% of the time everyone will fold and you only get the blinds instead of potentially extracting more value from the hand). AA vs 22 is honestly a good scenario here, calling a shove with pocket twos is a huge blunder unless you are comically short stacked, you just got bad luck here, aces win in this particular spot I believe 8 or 9 times out of 10.

The most common mistake is that they chase their loses sometimes like maniacs. This means the lack of programm, which can cause big lose of the bankroll!

The most common mistakes that cost players the most money in poker include playing too many hands out of position, overvaluing medium-strength hands, failing to fold when clearly beat, chasing draws with incorrect odds, tilting after a bad beat and making emotional decisions, bluffing in the wrong spots or against players who never fold, neglecting bankroll management, and not adapting to different opponents’ styles. These errors are often repeated, especially by less experienced players, and can quickly turn profitable sessions into losing ones. Awareness, discipline, and experience are key to minimizing these costly habits.

1. An ill-conceived bluff.
2. Emotional and hasty decisions.
3. Non-compliance with bankroll management.
I think these mistakes are quite common and can potentially bring considerable losses.

Playing too many hands and not folding/ raising enough. And not managing their bankroll properly.

In my opinion the most common mistake is bluffing without strategy or bluffing a lot, this eliminates you quickly forming large pots without a strong enough hand.

I think the ego is the thing that costs players the most,

overestimating your hand, your skill, etc. 😎👍

To play every day, you have to play when you're lucky, because the poker system won't let you win every day.

Hi :)
I think the most common mistake that costs a lot is either the absence of bankroll management or non-compliance with it. Playing without a limit leads to a loss of control, and accordingly leads to the loss of money, sometimes a lot of money.

When you have an okay hand and you just don't fold it, even when the story the opponent has been telling it that thier hand is better.
