. The fish leads for $80 and you call. The river comes

What was the biggest mistake you made in this hand? Correct Answer: The three-bet pre-flop The pre-flop three-bet is by far the worst mistake in the hand. A pocket pair plays very well multi-way so don't three-bet it pre-flop and shut the fish out. Call and hope the fish comes along so you can stack him when you flop a set. Though he cold-called in this example, you can't often expect him to cold-call three-bets. Call with your good multi-way hands and encourage him to call behind.
