What are your biggest difficulties in Poker?

[yezzrr]

bankroll management is easily my biggest difficulty..

 

[Fushicho]

The hardest part of poker for me is to play aggressively

Agree - Me too. Hate playing against an aggressive player, can see how it works, but I just can't do it myself.

 

[Fushicho]

I'd say my biggest difficulty is recognizing bluffs on the river.

I get it wrong everytime.

 

[MikeCarasone]

Staying aggressive later in the tournament is a key improvement I need to make.

 

[Belgiumburnley]

For me it's discipline ! Not to blow away my Bankroll after a bad beat is very hard.

 

[besplatnee]

There is such a difficulty to spend a lot of time in the game and from this you can make a lot of mistakes, or it is not worth rushing who knows.

 

[nimburkx]

Tilting the biggest problem)

 

[Senator30]

Pulling the trigger when I’m sure I’m right

 

[hubcio96]

scoring big tourney win, and moving up the stakes immediately (or rebuying like crazy), losing the big win within a week. Or playing much looser after a win. Working on that by being more conscious and treating every day as a new day regardless of yesterday's outcome.

Being too self-critical: EV

expected value(EV), you do the probabilities, etc, what is most likely? Then, you decide to change your self-image, play the "not you." The "not me" ended up in the usual position: loser's lounge.
I shove my suited ace preflop, don't catch. Probabilities were kinda sorta in my favor, but more than anything, it was a chance I wanted to take.
Most situations I wait it out for the best EV. But every once in a while, you take a chance, just to even out the odds. Best part, shoving and losing early is more of a rush than grinding for hours just to run out of gas and barely finish OTM.

 

[mclaughlinph]

The longer i play in a tourney or tourneys consecutively the more intense i get. I get more in the zone about reading players and watching how they play. This is good but because of this i make good calls and chip up but because my reads are good i start making thinner and thinner calls on bigger and bigger pots until i get one or two wrong and then i tilt when all my chips get taken. But i have corrected this now i make less thin calls and wait for nut hands to make big calls.

 

[mclaughlinph]

also my bankroll management is inconsistent. If i get a big cash i use part of the money to play in a bigger tourney buy in. instead of staying in a predetermined range of buy ins.

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?

You're right! When there are some pressing problems, it is better not to start playing. This has happened to me more than once, it will not lead to anything good. Also, if you are in a bad mood or have nothing to do, you should not open poker tables either. In general, it is worth learning how to abstract from distractions and annoying factors.

 

[VVi10]

For me, it is getting a good study guide and creating time to study properly, because if we understand the game the way it is, we will surely be successful

 

[horscht22]

My biggest problem is br and sometimes bluff in a wrong spot lol

 

[dlam]

Anger and Tilt
When I playing I assume I playing against a good player. Then turns out makes a move that fish would make and I folded a winning hand.
When I short stacked in a tournament and I know deep stack is making a move on me but I can’t risk going all in for my tournament life.
Just a few things that gets me toward tiltsville

 

[zwbb]

Most players would rather play than learn, which is why I make most of my money in the game rather than learning. If the players do not study, do not want to pay for the lessons, and do not want to spend time reading the game, then the only solution for me is to play poker with them and take their money at the table.

 

[kanycta99]

While the most difficult thing is to maintain discipline. But I'm just learning.

 

[Bethrezen420]

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

Yes i think this too.

 

[Stollpe]

I catch myself making calls with good hands when I know my opponent probably has me beat with a even better hand. I should fold more when my gut tells me too.

 

[mtmigmike]

The hardest thing for me is to survive the loss, after that I want to win back, but I lose even more.

 

[KasyakoFF]

sometimes I can't discard good cards, although the opponent's behavior shows that he has a stronger hand!! but this happens when I'm distracted or tired! therefore, you do not need to play poker hungry and sleepy))

Not winning.

Because I'm not that good at losing.

Diego, please click the 'multi-quote' button on all posts you wish to respond to, then click the 'quote & reply' button once you have selected all (on the last post you wish to quote)...

This will place all quotes in one post and you can reply to them all.

This is much better than post after post after post after post... :wink: :icon_thum

I confess I didn't know how to use this button lol

I have written before about discipline being one of my keys to succeed. That means discipline in the price of the tournaments that I am entering AND discipline in my range of starting hands I will play!! I think that is the key, at least for me, for me being successful in my poker ‘career’. Good luck.

Stay Safe

I agree with you, without patience you will make wrong decisions many times, resulting in your defeat.

my worst enemy in poker is myself, especially lately when I often get angry with the fish who are more and more numerous and who play anyhow, the most unfortunate is that they have often a big stack, and end up winning, make allins with 5ko, I follow them with qq and of course I lose, that's my only worry at the moment I can tell myself don't get upset, play your games, but when I have a monster in my hands I can't stop playing them and often I lose, so my problem in poker right now is that I start to be scared when I have AK, AQ , AJ, in the hands and I'm happy when I have a marginal hand that I fold, actually when I see these fish at my table I'm not well

I understand your revolt with these players, but in my view, your great opponent is not being able to adapt your range against your opponents ...
Think about it and tell me what you think.

Probably the only obstacle I sometimes feel is the lack of free time. Only this prevents me from playing and developing dynamically.

Really, Poker is a leech when it comes to time ... I understand you

I have a problem is with the anxiety of wanting to take the pots very fast without first having made a good analysis of the hand that I am playing, I have made that mistake of making very fast decisions because of my anxiety.

Stretching self-control will slow you down. Search on the subject!

my bankroll management. I sometimes play on too high buy-ins. I have mixed feelings because I had good results on higher limits. but the variance of the game makes it a big flaw

Didn't you take advantage of the variance?

I always play with an average of 100 buy ins, maybe it's an option for you...

Hello. I have a difficult time when I am holding aces and someone else goes all in. I have lost a number of times to some very ridiculous hands.

If you're talking about pre-flop situations, it's just variance.
Stay calm that's part

 

[nba2009]

I think the hardest thing for me is reading the game or hands after the flop I think that's where I make most of my mistakes
