Keeping my calm against other who goes allin on each hand ; they often win with bad cards when mine was better.

For me, it is a great difficulty to lose a good hand if necessary.

Sometimes I don't find time to play due to work and life circumstances, but I try to find time for my favorite hobby that I cannot stay away from for long.

I think the biggest problem in poker is not patience You have to be very patient to achieve a good result in poker. Also, sometimes I don't control my emotions when I lose to a weak person who just beat me with a weak card and then they may lose a couple more hands

Any of the mistakes above can be fatal. Tilt is the loss of the ability to show adequate play under the influence of emotions.When I get run over 12 times in a row with a card on the river, I get the feeling that this is a scam.

patience, but I often find it difficult to decide how to react to a situation.

I can't tell you much.
You simply summed up my poker life.

Good morning everyone, I have a hard time controlling my bankroll to scale the limits, all the money I earn I end up withdrawing from poker sites and spending.
I am fully aware that if I don't withdraw these profits I will be able to scale the limits and earn more and I still don't do that.

When playing poker, an issue with emotions arises as a consequence. If you can identify the origin of this issue, you are on the path to reconciliation. Perhaps, you will discover that it is related to a lack of knowledge. Therefore, learning is often the solution of a better performance, and reducing the impact of your emotions.

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?
A lot of different factors affect on my game. Yeah, stress, but not only that. For example, the desire to go out to eat, the desire to go to sleep, the need to feed the cat. Sometimes I'm just a fish. :unsure:

The most difficult thing for me is to play with a bankroll. I have already lost my money several times because I just went to play at higher limits and, of course, I was beaten there. After that, I had to start all over again

At this point in poker development where I am now, the hardest thing for me is to stop paying value rivers to my opponents. I absolutely don’t understand how these people play, and the RNG, as luck would have it, constantly allows you to reach some two pairs in order to pay sets from the flop, which the opponent checked the flop and turn, and on the river he simply bets 2 pots...

Tilt, impatience and acceptance of variance.
There are days when I clearly see that I have to be patient, but then the next day I realize that life is short and I start rushing, which then makes me do mistakes.
To these comes the bad beats, which can destroy the soul. You have to learn to deal with it.

If there are 2000 players by turbo NLHoldem and I'm "in money" we say in top 50 ...Then my biggest difficulties is to came in top 10. Problems are to many all-ins, or my small stack and I must play some not so good pocket hands. I try to find best way to go through this part of tourney...

My main difficulty in poker is mental. To overcome this problem I decided to take notes to consult before playing, allowing myself to update my thinking process in order to make the best possible decisions and especially to stay focused when I take a bad beat.

I think a problem for almost all the players îs the moment when you have a very big stack, because în that moment you tend to play almost every hand and hands that you usually Dont play, especially în bad positions

This is for cash tables. My biggest difficulty for being a winning player is. I just might likely be the least aggressive winning player there is. I like to see flops with marginal hands. But then I'm confident in my ability when it comes to out playing the majority of players at the stakes I play on any site. Funny thing about my playing style is anyone using a HUD would think and believe I'm mostly an old school TAG player.

Cheers!!!
