## Quick Checklist (two-minute pre-session drill)
- Count your buy-ins; leave if below threshold.
- Set session loss and time limits (use site RG tools if available).
- Pre-load mental odds rules (outs×4/2) and pot-odds threshold.
- Ensure account security: unique password, 2FA enabled, email verified.
- Post-session: tag 5 hands to review with an equity tool.
This checklist is small enough to follow every session and builds habits that reinforce both math and safety; next we’ll cover common player mistakes and how to avoid them.
## Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Something’s off when players repeat avoidable errors; here’s how to stop that loop.
- Overestimating outs (double-counting cards): avoid by listing distinct ranks/suits; if unsure, assume fewer outs to be conservative. This brings you to decisions where pot odds must be stricter.
- Ignoring blocker effects and reverse implied odds: remember that some cards that help you also help opponents; this matters in big-pot decisions and should temper calls. This leads to the need for post-session solver checks.
- Relying on implied odds without evidence: only assume payoffs from reads or table history—otherwise, fold. This is why disciplined bankroll and routine study matter.
- Using hacked or insecure payment flows: never reuse passwords, and contact support immediately if you see unfamiliar withdrawals; regulatory recourse is easier when the site has clear KYC and licensing pages, as many Canadian sites document. That brings us to the short FAQ below.
## Mini-FAQ (3–5 questions)
Q: How many outs are safe to count on?
A: Count only unseen cards that clearly improve you to likely best hand; exclude “dirty” outs that could give opponents better two-pair/full-house combos — if in doubt count fewer outs and be conservative.
Q: When should I use implied odds?
A: Use them when stacks are deep, opponents are sticky or passive with made hands, and you have historical evidence they pay off big; otherwise ignore them in tight games.
Q: Are casino hacks a real risk to my bankroll?
A: Yes — but mostly from account credential compromise or weak payment-provider security; protect credentials, enable 2FA, and verify sites’ licensing/KYC policies to reduce risk.
Q: Should I study solvers as a beginner?
A: Use solvers sparingly for key spots; master basic math and heuristics first, then incrementally add solver study to refine ranges.
Q: Where can I check site rules and payment details?
A: Always check the casino’s payments and responsible-gaming pages and documented licensing; reputable sites will show clear KYC requirements and payout timelines, and you can verify local-focused sites like highflyer.casino for their public policies before depositing.
