• Stop Chasing Flush Draws

When calling with a draw (for example, a flush draw with A ♥ K ♥ on a 9 ♥ 5 ♠ 2 ♥) you must have the correct pot odds and equity to call. The pot odds depends on your opponent’s bet size, and the size of the pot whereas your equity depends on how many outs your draw has.For the A ♥ K ♥ example above, you have 9 hearts (Q ♥ J ♥ T ♥ 8 ♥ 7 ♥ 6 ♥ 5 ♥ 4 ♥ 3 ♥) to make a flush draw which in all cases but the 5 ♥ (due to the full house possibility) will give you a flush draw and best hand possible (called the nuts).You can also win with any Ace (A ♦, A ♠, A ♣) or King (K ♦, K ♠, K ♣) which gives a total of 8 hands to the nuts and a further 5 to what is likely the best hand – this whole process is called counting outs.

• Not Improving Your Poker Game

Practice makes perfect, right?Does that mean that if you just go out and play the game of poker, you should get better?That’s true to a certain extent, but to really improve your game you have to work intently on very specific parts of your game (opening ranges, squeezing, playing the flop, turn or river, playing in 3bet pots, etc).

• Playing Above Your Bankroll

Sitting down at games within your limits is key to becoming successful at poker.If you only had $1000 and were to sit down at a poker table with all that money, how likely is it that you will go broke and lose it all?It’s a pretty high percentage, probably above 50-60% that you will lose it in that session.But if you were to sit down with all your money every time you joined a table, the likelihood of going broke is 100%.  There is no player, not even Phil Ivey, who can sit down at a table with his entire bankroll and expect to come out alive at a reasonable frequency.
