What’s your biggest poker mistake?

What’s one mistake you made early on that improved your game once you fixed it?

[phanin]

Playing way too many hands preflop, especially suited connectors out of position. Tightened up my ranges and suddenly I wasn’t bleeding chips every session.

[clotra]

Used to bluff way too much on the river, thinking I could push anyone off a hand. Learned the hard way that most microstakes players just aren’t folding.

[Luxlor]

Used to overvalue top pair like it was the nuts, then wonder why I kept getting stacked. Learning to let go of decent hands when the board gets scary saved me so much money.

Calling huge river bets with just a bluff catcher, thinking they had to be bluffing every time. Turns out most people just have it lol.

Tilt calling off my stack after getting sucked out on was my biggest leak. Once I started just closing the laptop for 10 mins when I felt that rage, my winrate shot up.

Overplaying AK when I miss the flop, just firing multiple barrels hoping they'd fold. Ngl the moment I stopped treating it like a made hand preflop my graph finally turned around.

Trying to get fancy with multi-street bluffs against calling stations. Humbling lesson when they snap me off with bottom pair for the third time in a row.

My early mistake was overadjusting to a nitty table image then blasting off into the one guy who wasn't paying attention. Did you find it hardeer to fix technical leaks or the mental game stuff like tilt control?
