Most Dangerous Concepts When Not Fully Understood
Already posted this in theory, but thought it might be useful here to.
In your opinion, which poker concepts are the most dangerous when applied by a player without a good understanding of them? Also, what part of the concepts do you think are most commonly misunderstood and how would an expert handle them differently? Example: I think the concept of implied odds can get beginners into alot of trouble without experience and familiarity with reverse implied odds,board reading, redraws, etc. Also, I think this concept is one of the most dangerous to players on tilt. This is probably my #1 excuse when I'm on tilt and want to make a bad play in the heat of the moment. I could go into more details, but I'd rather hear others' takes to this question.

Re: Most Dangerous Concepts When Not Fully Understood
Funny, Shmackcash, I just mentioned odds in my other post and how they get me in trouble.
I'm also not aggressive enough. Much learned today!

Re: Most Dangerous Concepts When Not Fully Understood
Yep, IO at the top of the list.
(1) Implied Odds. Great excuse to make bad plays. (2) Texas Holdem favors aggression. Let's see I have, um, nothing... all in! (3) The checkraise. I see this misunderstood and misapplied in LHE all the time, and build a pot when they want to push people out, or push them out when they want to build a pot, or simply done with a weak hand. (4) Tight is right. Often twisted to "weak-tight is right" by many. (5) Slowplay. People with supposed monsters on coordinated boards check to the river and then... all in! (6) The semi-bluff. Nut flush draw on the flop... all in! And a special for 2+2. (7) Good PT stats. I'm a 16/10/3 but these idiots keep beating me!
