Top 10 Online Poker Mistakes: #1
Playing Too Many Starting Hands
This is the first article in a series that I am calling the Top 10 Mistakes of Online Players. Each week I will be speaking about a particular common mistake. These are the mistakes that make it easy to separate the men from the boys or the women from the girls. When I see one of these mistakes from a player I can start to generalize about their overall play. These are the mistakes from opponents that make poker such a profitable game.
The mistakes are not given in any particular order. Most of the mistakes apply to live play also although two or three of them are most applicable to online play. Some of the mistakes are rather obvious while others a little more subtle. If you can minimize these 10 mitakes in your game you are well on your way to being a profitable player. Realize that in Texas Hold'em, most of the profit that you earn is from the mistakes of your opponents...not by your brilliant play, so be sure not to reward your opponents by making some of these common mistakes.
Mistake #1: Playing Too Many Starting Hands
This is rather straight-forward. Any player who has read at least one poker book knows that starting hand strategy is the building block to an overall profitable strategy. Yet very few players demonstrate the knowledge and/or patience to play good starting poker hands. Why is starting hand strategy so critical to Texas Hold'em?
Playing less poker hands than your opponents gives you the advantage in the long run. Think about this, if your opponents play 40% of their poker hands and you are only playing 20%, you will have the advantage in the majority of the hands that you play. You'll win a lot more pots with the best kicker. When you hit pairs, they will be less vulnerable to overcards. Your straights will beat lower straights. Your flushes will outkick your opponents' flushes...and so forth. By playing fewer poker hands you will continue to put yourself in the best position to win the hand.

Beginner's Bonus Chasing FAQ
What is "bonus chasing"?
In order to attract business, many poker sites will offer promotional bonuses wherein they will pay qualifying players some bonus cash. "Qualifying" is usually as simple as making a deposit. Prior to cashing out the bonus money, the player is almost always required to meet a site-determined minimum amount of play at real money tables.
Bonus chasing is moving your bankroll (BR) from poker site to poker site (or partitioning a large BR among multiple poker sites) in order to take advantage of the promotional bonus offers of those poker sites. It is also known by some less savory names, but here at ITH, we prefer the term "bonus chasing".
Why should I bonus chase?
Quite simply, because it is profitable - disproportionately so for small stakes players. As an example - say you are a good limit holdem player, earning 2 BB/100 hands played at $1/2 limits. After playing 1200 hands, you would expect to be up (on average) 24 BB, or $48. However, if by playing those 1200 hands you were also clearing a $100 bonus, your bankroll would increase by $148 ($100 in bonus + $48 in winnings).
What is a "signup bonus"?
A signup bonus is one that is available (sometimes for a limited time) when you open your account. For example, a site may give you $10, or give you free merchandise for opening an account. Some sites', first deposit bonuses are actually signup bonuses - you may only have a set amount of time (i.e. 30 days) from the time you open your account until you make your first deposit to get a bonus for making that deposit.

Wipeout
PUBLISHED: Oct. 27, 2006
It is not a comfortable thought, but every poker player might one day have to deal with the possibility of losing their entire bankroll. There are a number of ways that this might happen, but essentially it will boil down to one of the following:
1. You are not good enough to beat the game, so losing your bankroll is merely the result of the long-term taking hold.
2. You have the ability to beat the game but play while on tilt, losing large amounts of money while not playing your best.
3. You can beat the game, but have poor bankroll management skills. So you go broke during a downswing.
4. You have good bankroll management, but have a downswing so severe that you lose it all anyway.
