I once made the mistake of playing too many hands when I first started out. I didn’t really know when to fold or when to keep playing, so I just kept throwing chips into the pot. I thought I could bluff my way through it, but the other players weren’t falling for it. I lost most of my stack before I realized I had no idea what I was doing. That’s when I started reading poker basics for beginners guides and focusing on learning when to fold.
