For me is bankroll management! i am a decent low stakes player but my bankroll was always a mistake.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in poker was moving up in stakes too quickly. I had a good run at lower limits, felt overconfident, and decided to take shots without really having the bankroll or experience for it. Of course, variance hit me hard, and I realized I wasn’t ready for the level of competition or the swings. That mistake taught me a lot about patience and the importance of proper bankroll management.

Another big lesson for me was underestimating the value of position. In the beginning, I used to treat every hand the same no matter where I was seated. Playing marginal hands out of position caused me to lose a lot of small and medium pots that added up over time. Once I started paying more attention to position and tightening up my ranges in early spots, my results improved significantly.

In the end, I think mistakes are unavoidable, especially when you’re learning the game. The key is to analyze them instead of just feeling frustrated. Every tough session has something to teach, and the players who are willing to adapt and correct their errors are the ones who really grow in the long run.

The most common beginner mistakes are playing too many hands, ignoring bankroll management, going on tilt after losses, underestimating the importance of position, and making bets without considering pot odds or opponents’ tendencies.

One of the mistakes I made at the beginning was getting frustrated when I lost with a premium hand, but now I've overcome that, I learned that it's part of the game and that it can happen sometimes.
