Intermediate poker mistakes

As you may know, the FBI closed the largest US online poker sites. But you can still play at Carbon Poker. So if you are not registered yet, use a Carbon Poker Bonus Code before you sign up so you get your 200% bonus. Anyway being an experienced poker player doesn’t mean that you cannot make some mistakes. Either you are to tired, or your opponents are too aggressive, mistakes are unavoidable.

If you are multi-tabling, today we are no longer surprised when we hear someone playing 8 + tables cash at once. So, at how many tables a player can play? The answer is not very precise and depends on many factors. Each player has his limits and a too high number of tables may result in (1) getting to give fold in limited circumstances because you do not have time to take the optimal decision, or (2) folding at the other tables because of the lack of time in which you have to focus to another table.

The result is again a predictable game and lost money in the pots without showdown. Thus, it is good that each player finds the number of tables at which he feels comfortable and increases or decreases it while making the best decisions, to add one table, not to fall the other extreme, to play too many hands.

Do not play average hands because, even If you make a flush or a straight, chances are someone else makes a straight or a higher flush, and so you will lose much, being tempted to go ahead with the hand.

Do not be disappointed by the weak hands with what you will have to fold, and if you enter, you make a strong hand and you win! For example if you gave up 8,2 and the flop is K 2 2 or 5 8 8, do not be disappointed and next time proceed as fold!

Playing too predictably is a common mistake for intermediate poker players, specifically for no–limit players. If you tend to always play the same way, it is very easy for your opponents to read your moves. It is good to change your style from time to time or you can also change table, starting a new game with new players.

In poker besides how strong your hand it is, what does matter much more is the strength of your opponents’ hand. Not thinking about your opponent hand is a mistake and there are small chances to become a winner if you play this way. Always try to read your opponents playing style and what hand they might hold.
