What are your biggest difficulties in Poker?

[Alex Houngan]

Previously there were many problems such as: overestimation of hands, bankroll management, playing in a poker blast tournament (where three players play). And now I am calmly ready to play for my own pleasure, but I do not have time, I have a wife and children and in the morning I have to go to work. But this is not a problem, I just do not have time for poker.

My biggest issue is playing for more than 6 hours straight; I feel my focus drops and I get really tired. But I'm working on fixing this with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding stress outside of poker.

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 bring up a great point about how emotions can significantly impact performance, especially in competitive or high-stakes environments like poker. Emotional self-regulation is such a critical skill, not just in gaming but in life overall, and yet it’s often overlooked.

I think the key lies in developing mindfulness and resilience—being aware of when emotions are clouding judgment and learning to pause before reacting. For many, this isn’t just about poker but a deeper struggle with stress, focus, or personal challenges spilling over into other areas.

Losing focus after playing good solid poker,I try to fix this by noticing when I am getting tired and taking a break before I loose focus.

It's very difficult for me to be a disciplined player...

Um dos piores obstáculos à evolução dos jogos multijogador é a questão emocional.

Muitos não conseguem entender o jogo ou estão simplesmente passando por algo ruim fora do pôquer e isso se torna estressante, permitindo que seu raciocínio diminua drasticamente, resultando automaticamente em desestabilização emocional, levando à perda de dinheiro.

Mas este é apenas um exemplo.

Agora você sabe qual é o seu impedimento?

Mine is to always arrive at the final table short, I end up not wanting to pay some hands to reach the final or the prize pool and this causes me to lose chips little by little

The biggest difficulties in poker include mastering the psychological aspects, such as reading opponents and managing one's own emotions, as well as developing strategic skills to make informed decisions under pressure. Consistently handling the variability and uncertainty of the game adds to the challenge.
