One mistake Paul made was imagining that he and Tommy Bilotti could run a mob as big as the Gambinos...after Carlo had two underbosses.

Paul should have kept that structure. He was supposed to have two underbosses, each with their own crew, keeping every captain in check.

In addition to that, he should have moved with a bodyguard who was not his underboss. By using your underboss as your bodyguard, you make it easy for an enemy to take both of you out at one time in one place.

Paul just wasn't thinking in terms of military strategy.
