Professional poker player Nathan "BlackRain79" Williams reveals 7 common mistakes that prevent players from winning consistently. Learn how to avoid paying off tight players, properly play pocket pairs, target recreational players, manage emotions, and control pot sizes. Essential strategy tips for improving your poker results and building a solid foundation for long-term success.

Master player profiling, avoid emotional play, fold to tight player aggression, and focus profits on recreational opponents for poker success.

Essential Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Don't pay off tight players - they rarely bluff on turn/river action
  • Fold small pairs on coordinated boards against strong ranges
  • Target fish for 90% of your profits - value bet them relentlessly
  • Never four-bet middle pairs - just call three-bets and see flops
  • Quit when emotional - tilt destroys bankrolls faster than bad beats
  • Control pot sizes with weak draws - don't overplay bottom-end straights
  • Learn from every mistake - tight players raising big streets always have strong hands
