Do Not Stay in the Poker Hand Just Because You’re In It

One of the common mistakes that beginners often make is that they continue to stay in the hand just because they feel that they have put a lot of money in the pot. This is completely wrong. You cannot win the hand by throwing away money in the pot. There may be some cases when pot odds would warrant a call, but if you know that you possess average hands, there is no way your hand can turn out to be the best hand and therefore you must fold immediately. You cannot get all the money you have invested in the pot, simply by playing it till the end.
