What specific hole card reading errors frequently plague players - especially those new to faster-paced action? When the action heats up, even experienced poker players can make simple mistakes like:
Transposing suited connectors, mistaking 89 for 98
Misreading face cards, confusing a Jack for a Queen
Reading only half the rank, seeing an Ace but mistaking the other card
Misteaching for a higher or lower card, reading 77 as 66 or 88
But what other common hole card reading blunders do players tend to make under the pressure of speed? And how do long-time winning players avoid them? Missed reads due to haste are easily correctable, so any practical tactics from pros who've learned to quickly and accurately "download" their hole cards would be much appreciated.
