What are your biggest difficulties in Poker?

[DaMooca]

My biggest problem is wanting to play Omaha cash, and worse, at limits that I shouldn't be playing.
I've broken my bankroll a few times by doing this.

[uri73796]

I spend very little time improving my game, analyzing hands and finding errors

[igroksash]

There are many difficulties, of which bankroll management and perseverance are the most important to me.

 

[Baterdater]

I don't know how to play well postflop, sometimes I lack skill.

 

[Notlimit]

Difficult?

I think bankroll managment one of the biggest difficult. And tilt comtrol

 

[crazycitizen]

BRM, but I am working on it.
Now I'm using a 100-200 buyins, and it has helped me a lot

 

[casique31]

My biggest problem is that when I win a tournament I switch to the slot machines and run out of a penny.

 

[ChickenArise]

Hero calling. I understand the combinations I should be counting and the range capping but it is not always clear and in that case I lean to folding.

 

[rdwr33]

I have a lot of difficulty managing the bankroll, mainly due to lack of patience.

 

[ga25x]

To stop playing...

 

[Alex Sentsov]

To take a punch to the failure. It's very difficult.

Too loose in ICM

One of the worst impediments to the evolution of multiplayer games is the emotional issue.

Many cannot understand the game or are simply going through something bad outside of Poker and this becomes stressful, allowing their reasoning to drastically decrease, automatically resulting in emotional destabilization leading to loss of money.

But this is just one example.

Now do you know what your impediment is?

For poker at the moment i believe my worst enemy is taking unnecessary Risks. Im a Gambler at heart and i have played poker since i was allowed in the casinos. Improving my game though i still have the gamblers itch from time to time. Example You hold AK suited on the button and have 60+ big blinds with 16 players left. Two opponents get it all in each with about 25 bigs each. I know that a call isnt the safe option here but i will always take that bet when i probably should just fold and lean on the short stacks. I have practiced and practiced keeping my emotions in check at the tables.

My greatest difficulty is patience, sometimes in important moments of the game I cannot contain myself and wait for better hands, with a better rank, also a little luck factor that does not accompany either ...

poker is like flowers, you must know how to treat it ...

Poker

It's always very difficult for me to deal with tilting. But this is not always the case. Especially tilt manifests itself when I have a good stack and lose half of my stack in one hand. It would seem that everything is not critical and you can still get away with it, but I go crazy and start making the stupidest mistakes.

 

[nanida888]

The hardest part of poker for me is to play aggressively

 

[tweezer_reraise]

moving up stakes... being fearless with ICM with necessary to make moves on bubble

 

[betang]

constancy. to find time regurlary

 

[Vivaly]

The biggest challenge is controlling emotions and making decisions calmly with the correct calculation.

 

[lcid86]

Knowing when to fold them... Play way too many hands.

 

[BriceNice]

Winning flips that I'm ahead.

 

[natelearnspoker]

This is specific to MTTs, but I struggle with folding a good hand to the nuts. For instance, I hate folding the nut flush when the board pairs on the river. I’m working on reconciling my irrational impulse to call and the knowledge that my opponent has a range ahead of mine.

Biggest diffaculties in poker

For me its getting by all the bots and hackers that seem to rule online poker now. Dam near immpisible.

 

[Polytarp]

Time. I can play well when I can stretch back and relax to play with whoever is as the table and whatever cards I get in whatever game I'm playing. However, if I'm juggling several priorities, meeting deadlines and playing within those windows of time where I can only play sporadically then I'm not at my "A" game and play like an impatient beginner..going all-in with speculative hands just so I have a chance at coasting into the money.
