both players call. Rock is holding K,K while the SB had 7,8 suited.
I was drawing dead and out of tourney.
Not so sure I could call this a big mistake...but it certainly SUCKS!

Did something similar in a live tourney. Lifted my cards the normal 1/10th of an inch off the table and saw AK when I was short stacked. Flop was AA rag, I immediately went all in and was called. I jumped up, flipped my cards over and pumped my fist... only to see K4. The other guy had Ax and rode me off into the sunset.

my dumb moment was in a omaha game I had a234 double suited and i could not see the button but the last 15 games where high low. So my wheel hits on the flop and I raise and reraise until about $80 of mine is in the pot when the time came I showed my wheel well i had a few people looking at me funny and well when i said nut low the table broke out in laughter i had a wheel but someone had aces full all i could do is laugh that the game was 4 card high only oppps

i built my bankroll up to about $500 and decided to try my luck at the 5/10 table ( i know.) and lost my all in with a set of jacks (on the flop) to a rivered flush (queen 2 suited...)
he was utg preflop and raised to 30, i raised to 80, on the flop he bet and i pushed all in and he called and rivered me :P biggest mistake so far.
yeah.. but im working my $20 redeopsit backup, up to about $100 right now. almost won a 2500 guaranteed so that gave me a nice little bump (finished 10th to a hoyt corkins style bad beat. he went all in trying to steal with 68o and i called with aj and caught a jack, he rivered a str8.) anyway, thats mine.

Ironically, my biggest mistake turned out being one of the best bad beats that I have ever seen anyone recieve.
I had been playing almost perfect poker at a $1/$2 NL table for about 2 hours, and I was catching bad beat after bad beat by BS calls that were hitting on the river. Needless to say, I was tilting just a little bit.
My opponent raised all in with $167 pre-flop. I figured that he had high PP, which he did (KK). I was sitting with 8,6 clubs. I figured I could get lucky and hit 2 pairs, maybe even a flush and beat the PP. Hell, plenty of crappy calls had won in similar fashion against me all night long. So I called.
Sure enough, I hit 8,6,4 on the flop. Turn was 6 and river was J. I ended up hitting a full house on a tilt call that I made just because I was tired of getting beat by crappy cards that hit on the river.
That hand got me back on track for the night, and I ended up pocketing almost $600 that night, so I guess it worked out well for me.

Somehow playing an Omaha Hi/Lo table like it's a standard Omaha game is bad, but not that bad, because you'll often get half the pot while others are mainly looking for a low, and sometimes you'll scoop when the low doesn't hit. It's a whole lot more painful when you get it wrong the other way round, though. I've done it, although (touch wood) not for a while. Part of the blame can be put on the lobby interfaces. Some (like Paradise Poker) lump the Hi/Lo games with the High-only ones, while more sensible sites (like PokerStars) keep them on separate tabs, to avoid mistakes like this...
Alon, I feel your pain - when you do this not only do you feel like an idiot, but you know you've just completely thrown away your money, too. Hope the stakes weren't that high.

Man, I'm such an idiot. I've just been playing Omaha for about 10 hands and I pick nut low hand on the flop. Very loose table and the pot gets big with 4 diamonds on the table after the river and one of the guys pots it. Everyone else folds and I put the rest of my chips in. The guy takes the whole pot and I get nothing cuz I'm sitting at a regular Omaha game, not High/low.

My biggest strategic mistake would be:
Flopped straight busted.
That one hurt. But as far as, like absentminded mistake. I called a big preflop raise w/ K7. Now, I know that's not horrible, but it was like almost half my stack and I don't play K7 ery often, let alone for that many chips. I had clicked the wrong button As expected, the flop completely missed and i quickly check/folded. I was later able to recover from that and break even at the table :P

Wow, and I thought I was the only one that made the Omaha8 mistake. I lost half my stack early in a SnG because I had the wheel and the FH really didn't care.
BTW, the BIGGEST mistake I ever made was thinking the light was green...

Here's mine, a limit hand previously discussed:
Another Horrible Laydown Or Not?
Still have a hard time thinking about it, but I sure learned my lesson.

LOL, that is so ironic. Surprising that you won that many different hands. But yeah, I've done something like that before. I was looking for a 10 dolalr NL Holdem head's up tourney, so I quickly sign up for one. Another person joins, and I see three cards dealt to me. I notice that I joined a stud head-up (i don't know how to play it ery well,) so ended up losing it.

Would have to be misclicking on final table of $100 rebuy, 50k GTD a few months back, donking 50k of my chips with 23os against 2 all in's when I was siting in 4th place. Eventually finished 7th for $800 but it could and should have been a whole lot more.
Lesson has definitely been learnt

Last night I was playing the .2/.5 games on PS. It was late, I couldn't sleep so I thought why not.
Anyhow. I forget the details of my hand, but in short I folded a straight and there was no flush draw on the board so I would have had the nuts.
I'm ambarrassed to even admit this but I figured as long as I still have "newbie" under my name then screw-ups like this are expected. LOL
It reaffirms the tip that one should NOT play while tired!

This just happened recently. I'm still learning to play Omaha and I made the mistake of thinking I could play only one card in my hand like Hold'em. Well sure as can be, here come 4 suited cards on the flop and I have the Ace in that hand. The player next to me goes all in so I think great, I've got him. Then I found out that you have to play at least TWO cards in your hands as I watched my cash get swept away.

biggest poker mistake? It sounds like we are just going by plain not paying full attention mistakes, so here's mine. I was multi-tabling and when I flipped over to the table with pocket A's with an A on the board, I hit the fold button instead of the call when the donk I was heads up with in the hand went all-in.

Lol I've made that same mistake before. Thank god it was only a $25 buy-in though, not $100. I ended up loseing half my stack when I had a wheel, thats when I realized it was PLO

My opponent had flopped a set of Queens, on a 23q board. All the money went in when the turn brought an 8. And I had Ak48.
Maybe the style of play worked because nobody hit the board when it had 2 or more low cards, and I thought the board had helped me, so I represented a big hand.

It's understandable that you though it was hi/lo. Luckily, you won that pot. What did your opponent have that you beat him with? Suprisingly, it worked for you when you played like it was hi/lo. It's laughable in a way.
