or
raising or re-raising the minimum amount
It serves no purpose, because it's not building the pot enough and no one is ever folding leading to a multiway pot making what was a strong hand pre-flop much weaker.
Over use of the call button. Raise or fold is the way to go
Bad bet sizing, either under or overbetting. Get it right to get the desired effect.
Failure to put opponent on a range of hands. Heard it so many times i put him on AK when there are so many hands they could have. Assign a possible range and play the hand with them all in mind not just one hand
Playing too many hands especially passively. Either be more aggressive or more selective
reason
knowing how loose villians can be on micro stakes you can get into deep trouble especially with KK and QQ.
the trouble is the bets post flop don't tend to be large anyway unless they had more than just a pair
Betting too small.
Playing poor hands especially out of position.
Going all the way with bottom pair on the flop.
What should they do instead? Nothing, carry on tyvm.

Now thats a top pair :-)
Before leaving the bathroom after a paper change always double-check to make sure the paper is hanging down at the front in the correct position.
Obviously everyone here is smart enough not to do that.
The reason for this is simple: Many toilet roll holders are too close to the wall and the added resistance of pulling the toilet roll over the top, coupled with the friction against the wall, can mean premature breaking of the toilet roll. This leaves the toilet user holding an insufficient length of roll to complete the task at hand.
What's that thing smitalos likes to say here?

There are a long list of common mistakes in poker. You name it: If there's a decision to be made, there's a way to get it wrong.
with cash tables any random post flop bet seem easy enough to get the rest to fold as long as I did a raise preflop. with MTT on the other hand cbets in the early stages have much greater risk to my own stack as villians just don't feel the need to fold so it's not long before the mix up difference get tilt started because if I hit a set on the cash table the villain had did a reraise preflop so i'm thinking surely he has a decent enough hand but he decided to just check so I bet and what happens he folded then in the MTT I do a reraise preflop with my AQs and a large bet on the flop J high and not even that was enough for the MTT villain to fold.
the difference in fold equity is massive in cash games and MTT games
