reading books , strategy threads , learning how to use poker software (when it is allowed) to help you , it is good . But very important it is to watch games , see how they play . I want to do this , watch far too many hands and tables in the hands replayer or live . i will also watch some replay tables which run at pokerstars , they are final tables of main events .
watching the tables , the players , you see how they play , how they bet , some special tricks or recipes for win , how to play better some hands in specific positions , cause online the game results is dectated by rng , so you need to know how to manipulate it

One of the bigges mistakes is also play when you are not ready to play your best game. So never play when you in bad moode or too tired and son on. Usualy it always ends bad and hurt your bankroll. Another stuff is what i do too now. Play not long session i play 1 hour sessions maybe more and i have better results. And just quit when you see it's enough...not chase looses, it's long run and it will turn around sooner or later if you play solid poker.

The biggest mistakes, in my opinion, are lack of patience or the desire to force someone to get back at you. I've had this happen to me more than once, even though I've been playing poker for many years and it's hard for me to master it. When a person is angry and goes on tilt and I try to get back at him, he goes to higher stakes and does all kinds of stupid things that he wouldn't normally do or play.

If you avoid tilt...i think in micro and low stakes you can make money with abc poker. Usualy i win the most money when players are tilting. And if you have good table talk, that tilts players is even better. I see guys on serious limits, great players, but when they tilt just play like donkey and donate big.

You can definitely win at low stakes, but the winnings are not big, and at slightly higher stakes it is difficult to play due to the regular players and the high rake we pay... Everyone tilts at some point, some less, some more... Sometimes it seems like that , but there are series where no matter what you do, you still lose. Then the trail hits you and sometimes you go crazy and don't know what you're doing...
