I feel that I'm always unlucky, no matter what hands I have. Unfortunately I have more bad beats in my life, at least I think so.

when I get tired playing .. I do not play well and lose many dollars because I'm stubborn and play anyway ... I think that counts as a weakness

My weakness in the game is when I'm next ITM , start to defend my chips , leaving to attack the opponent . Sometimes I have a " AJ suited " in my hand with few big blinds and I do not attack the opponent. It's my fault , not risk after 2 or 3 hours of play. I need to change some attitudes .

Not being able to do all the math-ey stuff yet, not observing my opponents properly, making trivial mistakes, not being able to play various styles of poker, and probably a lot more

Decided mine was anger at losing

I have a short temper but have learned to control it around people, however, online I get very angry at all the stupid players who are just gamblers (no skill involved) and lose so much with the best hand until the river.

Well, get used to it. This may sound cliche, but this is poker. As long as its within the rules and not cheating in any way, people can play how they want.

With that said, theres nothing stopping someone from playing like a maniac and getting 'lucky' all the time. Nor is there anything stopping someone from wanting to gamble with their chips. Players will not play how you want them to play/how you think they should play nor do they have to play within your skill level.

That sooner you realize that, the sooner you learn how to adjust your play vs different opponents.

Also, please don't think you're supposed to win hands just because it's the best or better than your opponents. As long as their are still cards to be seen and villain has outs [they're not drawing 100% dead] your hand is susceptible to losing.

Definitely a rerase. It makes me overthink to much and probably makes me fold way to much...

No patience

I think most people will agree lack of patience is definitely their biggest weakness, but I think this is typical for non-pro level players as I feel it is one of the obstacles amateur players must overcome to make it to pro status. Definitely my problem too.

When the blinds are astronomical and not getting any playable cards preflop, especially with a constant raiser on my right side.

Many people believe that a game full of 'rocks' (people who play very few hands and are, by nature, extremely tight players) cannot be beaten. This is simply wrong. Rocks fold far too many hands. They give up +EV (expected value) for a decrease in variance. This is a clear mistake on their part. If sitting in a game where only 15-25% are seeing the flop every hand, you can make a killing by developing your skills in short-handed play - and by developing solid, aggressive blind-stealing skills.
