What are some common mistakes players make when they have low cards?

[Mike_25]

When you have bad cards, don't make things worse. Play conservatively. Don't bet more than you should. Even with low cards, give yourself a chance. Make small bets and hope your next cards bring improvement. Often players go all in too soon when they actually had a small chance, but greed took over. Stay calm and play it safe. Your luck can still turn around, so be patient and play the odds, not your emotions.

One mistake I've seen is playing too many pots without really having a hand when holding cards like Ace-rag or low pairs. Just because you called the big blind doesn't mean you need to stay involved if nothing connects on the flop.
