Overplaying hands is a common mistake by poker players, and it's even more important in Cash Games.
Chasing hands that don't get there can quickly eat away at your funds. It's important to have a good balance of how many hands you play. Protect your blinds, but don't get commit and large percent of your stack without making a strong hand, unless you have a strong read/tell on your opponent where you can attempt steal the pot.
Remember, when bluffing bet the lowest amount that you think your opponent will fold too. If you think they won't fold to a larger bet, fold. Betting a lower amounts helps you save chips for future hands, and value betting is a very good practice.
Common hands that are overplayed are AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ. These are not MADE hands, they are good hands preflop, but can be very costly if you don't hit. Sometimes, even when you make a pair. A lot of pairs wont fold top pair with these type of hands. Play the player, not the hands. Don't over play them, and don't get bullied.
Any thoughts?
