7 COSTLY MISTAKES to (Mostly) Avoid in Poker

[@chuchev4405]

You have been my favorite content creator since 2017, when I started developing interest in poker. Your old channel, with the detailed hand histories and the first person perspective, was one of the places from which I learned a lot. Thank you for the down-to-earth approach and for keeping the door to poker open to newcomers.

Thanks for the support!

Love the perspective of playing suited because it makes them easier to get away from post flop.

[@ConsciousPoker]

Glad it helped!

1 - Avoid Limping 2 - Avoid discussing strategy on the table 3 - Playing off suit hands (AK, KQ, AQ is ok) 4 - Chasing draws on the turn 5 - Calling from the small blind 6 - Playing big pots out of position 7 - Calling down for your tournament life

[@ConsciousPoker]

Good summary!

[@brilliantbeaches5389]

​@@ConsciousPokerGuilty of Point 1 and Point 2. But my limping strategy is at least very balanced. I only limp 9 handed from early position and only with 55 66 77 and KK and AA. This strategy has actually worked extremely well for me in full ring.

This was awesome great refresher ready to do battle at the WINTER OPEN BORGATA in January

[@WokeSteve]

Makes sense.I have lost so much chasing the nut flush draw, out of position.

[@ConsciousPoker]

Always keep a 25K chip in your pocket in case you get the nuts and you have to raise over the top

Only if you're left handed

[@ebfeldscher]

Generally great info but almost all of what you do at a table depends on who's at the table. How do these people play, especially in cash games, I vary my bet size often and almost never does it make a difference in the frequency I get called. The other interesting note is playing out of position. Clearly, I play less from early position with weak hands, but some of my best situations occur OUP. For example, I'm in middle position with 8,9 of spades. The table hasn't been raising more than 50% of hands and raises are usually to 11-15$ in a 3-5 game. Easy to fold the flop when I miss, and these are often multi handed games. When you hit the flop and or turn, a lot of $ can be made. I had this happen last week with 9,10 of clubs and a flop of H,9,9 with 4 players. It turned into a $250+ winner. The points in this video are great and generally valid but my experience says the if you play generally good poker, understanding the people you're playing with is the most important factor to success.

Change the title of the video to how to be a nit

[@ConsciousPoker]

Nits win money.

[@marcjtdc]

so you hire people to film you while you are playing. it's strange that you love bringing attention to yourself rather than pokler.

[@ConsciousPoker]

Who do you want me to bring attention to on my channel? I've done a lot to bring attention to poker in my content, messaging, keynotes, books, videos, articles, etc.

[@marcjtdc]

@@ConsciousPoker I've always thought you are a little narcissistic.

[@brilliantbeaches5389]

​@@marcjtdcSo why is your attention on Alec's personality rather then his poker tips? Alec is an extremely good player one can learn from. And i disagree he's a narcissist. But it's good for him if some people view him like that. Emotions in poker lose you money.

[@marcjtdc]

@@brilliantbeaches5389 So why is your attention on Alec's personality rather then his poker tips? It's just an observation after dealing with thousands of people traveling all over the world as well as working with people from everywhere. It's kind of a savant thing. I can see one narc in a room of 1000 people, and they will see me as the empath, which is the opposite of the narc.
