My hardest thing with poker is laying cards down when I know I'm beat. There have been times I laid cards down and people say nice fold but sometimes the devil on my left shoulder shouts louder than the angel on my right, so all I hear is "they are bluffin, your hand is the best" and I don't hear the wise, "do you not see the straight, he is crushing your 2 pair/3 of a kind.
That's what I need to work on.
Seeing totally stupid calls getting rewarded again and again and again and again...
It never ends.
Downswings, staying off tilt/chasing losses, and practicing conservative bankroll management.
Hardest thing for me is, and always has been, bankroll management.
This used to drive me crazy. People who play like garbage hit a low percentage river to win and talk shit the entire time like they know what they are doing. I used to get into trouble by trying to knock them out or I'd talk back. I just ignore it now. You don't want your competition getting any better. Just let them chat away and make stupid plays and eventually pay you off for your patience.listening to people gab about stuff when they got no idea what they are talking about without telling them so. and then not trying to bust em just cause they talk through their hat
