Default The Ten Biggest Mistakes a Poker Player Makes

I need some help from everyone, for a list

The Ten Biggest Mistakes a Poker Player Makes.

Now I know typical answers are : Plays too many hands etc, which is true... but Im talking about a more advanced player, one with a solid understanding of concepts and strategies, who knows whathe's doing. Maybe a player like yourself... what mistakes do you think you make, or others similiar to you make?

For example ''Plays too many hands, could turn into 'plays too many trouble hands' (in multiway pots / out of position / to raises....whatever) for a more seasoned player, who knows something like K8 is trash.

Well thats the first one I'll add

- Plays too many trouble hands

My two personal answers of the biggest two would be

- Undervalues the Gap Concept (I think it's a big flaw in a lot of players play including my own...especially in tournament play)

- Does not play position correct (either by playing hands from earlier position which aren't strong enough, opening with questionable hands early, NOT opening with weaker strong hands late, not stealing enough blinds, not using the button postflop enough etc)

I've thought of one more as well

- Does not extract as much money as he can with his winning hands (either by slowplaying when a bet would be called had he bet, not value betting the river, not betting a larger amount which would have been called etc)

So, based on this post, so far I have four on the list ( in no particular order )

1. Plays too many trouble hands
2. Undervalues the Gap Concept (calls too many raises)
3. Does not adjust play for position enough
4. Does not extract as much money as is possible with winning hands
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

5-10 are blank.... I'd like suggestions and thoughts on this matter. If the general topic needs an explanation, please explain after it

Afterwards, once we get a top ten list going (NOT yet...once there is an official top 10, some of my ideas may wind up being bumped off for all i know) , I'd like people to rank them in order from 1-10 (right now it is just random order).
