Pre flop errors: see too many flops!
You've seen television players unafraid to play poor quality maps... they are pros, so you should imitate them, non? NO! First, it must be understood that, precisely, they are pros with many years of experience... and not you! Very few people can play a 9 h - 6 d and be able to make a profit! In fact, even the majority of professional players do not a profit with such a hand. You should know that the poker on TV is... a TV poker!
Often, editing has been done: it has cut the annoying ends (who wants to see 10 hands of affiliate bedroom one?), and it shows the spectacular games (big bluffs, lucky hands, etc.). Moreover, because we are cut several (most!) hands, you lose almost the entire situation, the context... A good player on a table with 10 players will be approximately between 15 and 25% of the hands. Therefore, 3 times out of 4, he set his hand before even the flop. You may think it is huge: after all, you have not yet seen the flop, and even if you have 7 d - 2s, the flop can still fall 772, non? Yes of course! But for those rare times that it will happen, you will have already lost much money hoped!
Here are the pre flop mistakes to avoid:
Error #1: Do not take account of the position.
The position is very important to Hold'Em. In fact, more advanced players will tell you that the position is more important than the cards you receive... and I give them reason! Whatever your talent, you will lose money when you're in the blinds": the good players will lose less, but will lose anyway! It is NORMAL to lose money, and this is not because you already put pennies in the blinds that you automatically see a flop: Learn how to limit your losses.
Error #2: Play maps of little quality.
It is a second very common mistake. General rule, if you have a big map and a small map, your hand is good... for the trash! K2, Q7, J4, K8... forget them! These hands will cause you much problems, and your opponents will fly you as a salesman of encyclopedias!
Error #3: Play all its as.
You have an ACE in your hand! Perfect! After all, if another ACE falls, you necessarily the highest pair, non? Yes! It's true! But you'll also have lots of trouble! You must pay special attention to your "kicker", i.e. the map that accompanies your ACE. If your kicker is a King, you have one of the best poker hands... but if your kicker is a two, you have one of the hands that causes the disorder most new players! The reason is simple, and I will explain why. Played by gamers in general? They play their pairs, and their big cards. Against a pair, your A2 will be poor figure. But even worse, if your opponent has a QA and you have an A2, you will earn barely 20% of the time! Your hand is dominated, namely that one of your cards is the same as your opponent, but your other card is lower than your opponent. It is the worst situation in the Hold'Em, and avoid these situations at all costs. Even an A - J and A - Q are hands that you can throw even the flop before in some situations...
Error #4: Play all its assorted cards.
You look at your cards and see a beautiful 93... yuck! But... minute! These cards are two tile! Wow! If only I could hit three other tiles, and I would have my color... FORGET IT! Match increases the value of your hand to barely 5%. If your cards are not good to play if they are not accompanied, they aren't really more good to play if they are! In addition, having two small cards with as 9h3h, you may lose all your chips if you hit the color against an opponent with Ah.
Error #5: Call of big raises with two strong mismatched cards.
You say that if your opponent raises implementation, is that it has a hand that until evidence to the contrary, is strong. Your KT facing a raise is not worth much: it is likely to be a dominated hand. Same thing for your KJ, KQ, QJ, JT, QT... It takes a better hand to call a raise that to revive oneself!
