Overplaying marginal hands just because the pot is large. "The pot is too big to fold now!" No, it's never too big to fold a losing hand. Sometimes the only way to win a big pot is by not chasing it.
Calling weak hands just to see the flop. They'll call your bluff and you're stuck in a pot with an underwhelming hand. Only play what you can afford to lose.
Limping in too often. Don't limp into pots unless you have an exceptional hand. People will assume you have nothing and call your raises with garbage.
Not paying attention to position and stack sizes. Know who's in the pot and how much they can afford to lose. Position is power in poker.
Letting emotions get in the way like fear, greed, or spite. Stick to the numbers and probabilities, not your ego. The only emotion you should have at the table is calculated aggression.
Making surprisingly bold plays "just to keep them guessing." Really? The only thing they're guessing is whether you have any idea what you're doing. Keep play predictable and you'll confuse them more.
In the end, the key is discipline. Know your table position, stack sizes, odds, and when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Big pots will always come and go, but you have to be there to win them. Discipline keeps money on your stack!
