If it annoys you can turn off the chat and include it only in rare cases, for example at the final table

The bighest difficulty is time to play and sometimes trying to find a quiet room!

I usually disable chat, so I have no problem with that. But my greatest difficulty in poker is having patience, especially when I take bed :( but I'm working and I intend to solve this soon :)

My biggest problem is tilt. I don't necessarily get angry but when I have a bit of run-bad I tend to let it affect my decision making negatively directly after by either becoming too passive or overbetting and losing value with my hands. My next problem is probably over-thinking situations when I make a correct play and second guessing it.

I just have to keep my poker mind at peak position and if I feel it fading because of tilt I need to quit for the day or take a break to clear my thoughts even if its not a break time.

The biggest problem in poker is the discipline...

I read it all and I play it horrible

Do not want to lose money play by the rules, the result will only be seen over a long distance, and not immediately

My biggest difficulty is when I go to click the fold button but then another window pops up and that windows raise button is right where the last windows fold button is and the next thing I know ive got some guy who raised UTG all in with 9 4 off..

Maybe I do not call it difficulty, but if it's annoying when you come across a table or tournament with villains, they want to ruin your concentration.

My greatest difficulty is staying focused though out the entire session. Playing no limit always means that one bad play can end the night.

Sticking to my own rules, I always seem to find a way to make an exception when I feel like playing certain hands. Definitely something I need to work on.

Giving some opponent's too much respect and knowing we it's time to lay it down and by too much respect I mean folding to them instead of putting pressure on them.

1. I have to sleep from time to time2. the opponents (most of the times I have them on nothing, but out of sudden they are NOT bluffing
3. It takes soooo much time, if I could be THAT straight in something else, I would be rich long ago

oh yeah, and listening to myself, because I was right anyway, but stupid me needed proove of myself :tilt:

The biggest problem is the time the game continues. Sometimes I do not have enough free time and I just have to give up.

My greatest difficulty is keeping the focus on the game, I always devolved me, I have to play 2 or more tournaments to be 100% concentrated

As for the chat, I do not pay attention to it. Long tournaments for me - this is the difficulty. But if I feel good, it's not a problem for me.

after moving, I run into tilt, I start playing all hands in a row, as a result of which I lose the stack, self-control, and just the departure from the tournament

The most difficult for me is to know the precise moment when I should be folding.

For me the biggest problem is to loose concentration in the middle of long tournaments.

my biggest difficulty in playing poker is when I'm playing with players who keep writing profanity and trying to take away their opponent's taenia, it annoys me deeply.



Time ... finding enough time to play

I have a few, however, I am working on them as much as possible. My worse case is when I am close to the final table and I get only low end cards. Then its when do I bluff, cuz I wont go down easy....
