What is your biggest difficulty in poker?

We elect two:

First stay focused for a long time in a tournament. I always do something stupid.
According to my reading range is somewhat limited, I believe that play well with what I see, but I have difficulty reading than the opponent can have. I believe this is essential in poker.

Some literature suggestion, or you own tip to improve these two points?

Simply having the patience to get the right cards to play, especially after already suffering a bad beat/loss and dealing with the tilt.

If it were that simple I would not be raising the question, but the solution is just what you said, but how to stay calm?

The patience always killing me, my biggest enemy

" but how to stay calm?"

Grandpa Bronson said something like this: learn to perceive your game as part of a long game session that lasts your entire life. Today's failures will end with tomorrow's victories.

From my own experience I can say that the following trick helps me well. As soon as a bad beat happens, I just get up and go to the kitchen to drink some water. While I go to the kitchen, I drink water and walk back, it takes about 2 minutes and the anger passes. I noticed that even if you just get up and walk away for 30 seconds, the tilt disappears. The basic rule is to get up immediately and move away for 30 seconds, but not play any further.

The biggest difficulty i face online are players that just randomly go all in on a bs move against my pp or ak. i always gettem back by writting there names down and busting them lol hehehe

the biggest problem for me - tilt caused by my loss though I made the right decision

Hey
My problem in playing poker is simple.
I don’t hit the board with premium cards.

My problem is I don’t flop sets nor FH.

Lot of poker problems.:damnmate:

I think it's the long sections and the tense if being perfect a wrong play can put in check several hours of tournament

Hello, for me the most difficult is to contain emotions.

My biggest problem is probably my timing on when I should adjust my play. Sometimes I keep playing tight for too long and don't loosen up as early as I should. When this happens, I usually end up in push/fold mode much earlier than I should be. Fortunately, I play a short stack pretty well. Other times, I loosen up at the right time, but then don't tighten up enough when the rest of the table loosens up. I'm getting better, but I could still use work on this.

Dealing with the amount of rich idiots out there who have won too much money for their own good. Country bumpkins who say things like "it will even out in the end" and "its odds baby" and have no clue what they are talking about.

It makes me think that it was all for nothing, because they haven't learned anything.

Being patience and trying to stay focused on the game. I need to work on both of these aspects of the game.

I am lazy to do my hand reviews, low focus and tilts.

staying engaged....if the speed of te game is dragging it really easy for me to lose interest...and I seem to notice a pattern the longer I play and get close to the money the cards just get less favorble

My biggest problem is that as a foreigner in mexico I can't find a way to withdrawal my winnings, so why play big? all my winnings end up in the casino :dong:

I think I also have this problem, but I think I should solve the other two before.

i would have to say keeping interest when i am a masive chip leader i know it sounds silly but i love nothing more than building a stack but once im there i just kind of lose interest in what im doing its something i really need to work on because it can be costly believe me i know lol, anyway we all have our vices right? something i need to work on to improve

My ADD. I can’t sit still and focus long enough during a long tournament. I just end up pushing because I’m getting bored.

My biggest difficulty in poker is patience, hands down. I always start off playing while with all the patience in the world until about two hours into play then I start to get a little anxious and sometimes I start doing things I should not do.

I just started with online poker and my biggest problem is too big a number of players almost at all levels.

my biggest problem that im aware of it is PATIENCE , sometimes i play superficial and lose all chips that i gained until late part of the game , so patience and focus my main problems

For me its definetly patience and not tilting ^^

When I get bored I start playing to many marginal hands and end up putting myself in positions I would rather not be in then getting mad at myself for choking up half my stack or worse

my biggest problem with poker is not having enough rigor and discipline. I can not fold some spot. which makes me lose a lot of money.

1-to stay focused for several hours in poker. you have to sleep well and especially to train and play every day like a sportsman who improves his stamina. with temp you will manage to stay focused during the whole game.

2-indeed it is important to have a good reading of the game. the best way to progress quickly is to watch videos strategically and to inspire you to use them. You can also buy paid trainings to gain a lot of temp.
