Default Re: Beginners Common Mistakes

#1 beginning NL mistake: stacking off with a pair. Don't play huge pots with top pair or an overpair unless you KNOW the other guy is spewing chips with something even weaker (and yeah, there are plenty of times at Party $25 NL where you're going to know that).

Other common mistakes: bets that have no relation to the current pot size, calling pot-sized bets with draws when the other guy can't or won't pay you off enough to make it worthwhile, pushing preflop with a big starting hand, pushing preflop with a weak starting hand, playing at sites or stakes populated by players they can't handle.
