Yeah, my worst weakness in poker is tilt, because bad beats really confuses me.

I believe that the more you play, the less you will be affected by tilt. You might try playing the occasional freeroll. Of course, it's not going to fundamentally help improve your game. But what it will do is desensitize you to awful play and horrible run outs. I've played enough freerolls to learn to shake it off and take it in stride because it's just a freeroll after all. Of course, I do expect to see a higher level of play in buy-in tournaments. But whatever happens, I've probably seen it before, more than once, and am, therefore, able to take it in stride.

I tend to play a lot tighter when getting close to cashing in mtts so I end up being short stacked.
:D
Do the reverse and play more loose-aggressive against the tight players just trying to cash and you you'll do much better.

playing low stakes. you think about how to trick your opponent, make a great bluff, and then it happens to be a fish holding onto their king high the whole time just to call you.

live I tend to be a little lazy and not pay attention as much as I should. I use a lot of stereotypes for unknown players for example young players automatically get put into the aggressive bluffy stereotype, older men get put into the tight ABC stereotype and so on, so I don't pay a lot of attention to their play early in tournaments as I should. I just lump them into a stereotype and treat them as a known player. The fact is if I were not lazy I really have plenty of time to look at non-stereotype players closely (Like I always do) and look at players that I stereotype just as closely but I am lazy and I miss a lot of things because of it.

My weakness is I want to see the cards I'm up against. When I fold a decent hand late game I always wonder if they were bluffing.

Little aggressive and I can not cope with the loss, passes to sports betting and there I have an even bigger loss

I do not like it when I get emotional (tilted...) and think that my opponent is bluffing because of an overbet.. I should stay focused and let go even good hands

Tilt is a pretty big weakness for me as well as playing speculative hands to large raises pre-flop and then having to fold. I lose a lot of my stack that way overtime. I also see other people who win a lot with speculative hands and start trying to build my stack the same way but i seem to lose. Also, i play really tight and it seems like when im card dead i lose my stack slowly over time. I have also noticed that i will build up a large stack and then somehow lose it when my opponent is on a draw and hits their hand.

Suited cards, I tend to give them more value than they really are

Probably getting overaggressive for no legit reason and then tilting for doing this.

I would say that the worst is when you get overagressive after bad beat. This can quickly get you out of the chip stack ;)
