Listening to thunders poker 'advice'.

[Warpe]

[Outlaw]

Actually, make that never clicking autofold.. its a bad habit

[Outlaw]

Playing with lots of distractions.

On the phone
Watching kids

Anything that takes 1% or more of your brain capacity to do while playing.

[JKDS]

feeler bets

[ponyboy]

Playing while:

Drunk
High
Pissed off at something or somebody else
On 2 hours of sleep
Hung over

For some of you I realize this means you can never play.

[sarbox68]

1. Betting for no other reason than to find out where I iz
2. Ignoring what I find out when they raise my info bet and betting again on the next street to find out if i'm still there...
3. ...and well, fuck it, I'm pot committed now.....

[sil693]

Listening to thunders poker 'advice'.

wtf??

he told you calling/shoving or whatever it was deep in an MTT w nothing was a bad play and that you got lucky, which you did. you said you had a read, but he still showed up w the J or whatever and you were way behind when the money went in.

I'm gonna add to this list: thinking you're the shit just because you win a big pot, and therefore choose to disregard solid advice because your ego can't take "criticism" that is supposed to help you. wake up.

[FlyingSaucy]

betting for information

[FlyingSaucy]

1. Betting for no other reason than to find out where I iz

I guess that covers mine. oops.

[FlyingSaucy]

calling 3bets preflop just to prove you weren't stealing.

[Hawk]

Falling for the stack-a-donk line when I can only beat a bluff. (TP is no good!)

Playing with lots of distractions.

When you do what is correct and put an opponent on a range and the flop hit his range perfectly and you still shove the flop.... on the bubble in a MTT.... yeah no more of that.
