for me the most difficult thing is to drop the top set on the draw board

I only run good when I play low stakes :( Especially after I lose a big pot with bad beat at higher stakes

My biggest difficulty lately has been lack of patience. I have also tried to play tired. It’s a bad combo for me this week.

I agree with you, playing with rude people is very annoying.

One of my difficulties is playing players who call your raises with sorry hands.

My biggest difficulty is to wait for the right card for the win and also determine when the player is bluffing or not.

My biggest problem is patience. I want to play lots of hands and win every hand. You need to be patient, if you want to win in poker.

I lack discipline in poker, but I am learning that, in the early stages play tight, and in the middle already be looser

I do not read the chat. In general, I do not look there. And I do not advise you to be distracted from the game. And what is really hard for me is not to call with Ax, the person who shoved every hand.

My biggest problem is staying patience when I lose a big part of my chips.
I always want to win those chips 'back' asap, so I start to call with a way too wide range.

I think my biggest problem (apart from my lack of knowledge) is fear. I have fear when I play against aggresive players, specially post-flop, so I evade them if possible. I only play against them if I have the nuts (not very often lol).
I lack of patience also, because I'm not used to play long sesions so I get bored or I start to think in other things, not in the hand I'm playing.

I'm afraid to lose. So often I play hesitantly.

my biggest difficult is to pay attention when I am tired. When I am playing a tournament for 3, 4 hours.. I do some pauses but I think it is not enough, so I play hands that I usually wouldn't play.

"Our life is what we think about it." The same can be said about playing poker. It's our thoughts and build our game. Every false idea that you are going out of your head is one more step towards making the right and economically viable decisions. I never analyze my mistakes and for this I lose more.

The biggest difficulty I face is staying focused.

I have a solid tight-aggressive style for the most part, but I tend to lose focus and get bored, especially when the cards are running awful against me; I'll start playing marginal hands that I know I shouldn't play because I want some action, and there have been so many pots in between that I would have won if I had been involved in them...

What annoys me is playing super tight for the first hour and get a strong hand only to have it beat on river verses a player who just moved to the table and has no idea on the table image I had just spent an hour establishing. Along with the fact that he couldn't fold ace rag by floating on flop and turn to get rewarded his three outer ace on river to crack my pocket kings. Even though I was betting pot on flop and turn. But hey you want players like that in the hands verses you cause in the long run you will profit off them. With that being said it still sucks.

You can use chatbox the same way Negreanu is doing it in live poker. But its much harder. Personally i almost never use chatbox. Only for deal making sometimes and thats all.

I hate it when players go all in every hand at the start of a MTT while I have a good hand.
