I make difficult decisions when players play all-in at big betting and I have a JJ-QQ-KK card and they very rarely play all-in and I need to decide whether to play or not because I lost a lot on such cards and lost a lot of chips in the tournament or a lot of money in the cash game!

I find it very difficult to make decisions on how to play a hand when a short stack goes all-in in a bounty tournament - mainly because so many other players at the table will widen their range immensely just to try and swipe that bounty chip.

DECISIONES

when I'm close to reaching the final table and I have a two-pronged straight-up project and the villain goes all in on the turn putting me at risk of being eliminated. knowing that if I win the hand I enter the tournament leader

The most difficulty decision fore me are in the long tournaments and you are in the bubbel and you get a strong pair. Throw away a good pair or loose the chance to get into the money. That is sometimes hard. Today i throw JJ just to make sure to get to the money. If i had gone all in i had won and increased my chips 3 times.

When you have to go all in because you fill it is a good hand and your cards are not the strongest. Or when you are on the bubble and you have a strong pair like aces or kings or qweens!

It was a difficult decision .. reset AA ..
full flop - ready street ... and three more players in the game .. I did not have an end.
I threw AA .. and was right .. three players - street .. two divided the bank ..
but I thought for a long time ..))

I agree with the posters before, it is hard often to throw away top pair when you see the flop or turn is just against you and also when you want to reach the money places.

It's hard to throw away cards when you have a flush, and threw the ollin on the pairing board.

To fold or shove a good hand when running low on stack at bubble is a very hard decision to take.

The hard decision is to throw off a good pair of hands. And when it turns out that your opponent is a fish with weak cards.

It's hard to open UTG, and UTG1, MP, BT, SM and SB paid, I'm worried when this happens, the urge is to go all in no pos flop Lol

Hi.
In poker there are always complex decisions, and most often intuition helps me. I try to be a disciplined player, and if I play according to my own rules, I always stay satisfied with my game.
Good luck.

One thing I often find difficult is when there are limpers and and i flop top pair with a crappy kicker (as king high flop with K5) from the bb. Especially if it is a draw heavy flop and I have around 20- 25 BB.

Another thing is when you have raised a lot of hands in a short period of time (and got away with it). Then someone 3 bet me when I am oop with a hand like AQ. In this spot it can be hard to figure out if villain is 3 betting because of my image or if he has the gods.
