V The Money You Lose Making Incorrect Bets in Big-Bet Poker
i) Many players will overbet the pot as a steal when they have missed their hands. If you are in a game with one or several these players and they have tried this move, you can make the same play as a value bet when you have a big hand. You’re trying to make it look like an overbet steal, but you actually have a hand that will most likely win if called.
VI The Money You Lose With Poor Bluffing Habits
i) Bluffing errors comes in three major categories:
(1) Bluffing too much
(a) Spotting and exploiting habitual bluffers is not difficult. They are always taking shots at the pot, always raising and re-raising with almost any two cards, and always betting when their opponent show any sign of weakness. These players often build stacks quickly, but by the end of the session, they’re usually broke. They don’t know when to stop bluffing, and since they overuse this poker weapon, they are typically losing players.
(2) Not bluffing enough
(3) Bluffing at the wrong times
VII The Money You Lose Making Mechanical Errors
i) Besides mucking winning hands, other such errors include: acting out of turn, making a motion that is interpreted as a check (or bet), clicking the wrong button (in online poker), making incorrect verbal declarations, intending to raise but throwing out a single, large-denomination chip, and misreading your hand. The thread that links all of these errors is a lack of situational awareness.
