In my case, I think I lack more patience for the big tournaments. Since many times I find myself leading chip but after a certain time my concentration drops and I get tired. Later in my game I am very happy with the level. But there are always things to learn!

I feel that I struggle with knowing when I can get away with being aggressive vs some players and other times knowing when I need to be aggressive to match other players aggression to not be pushed around on the table

Yes, apparently, and I have such a feature in the game that I lose concentration after a while in the tournament. And, of course, I have a lot of gaps in theory and I hardly analyze the hands after the game.

One of my biggest problems, is that I try to do too many other online activities at the same time, whether it be multiple tables, or checking e-mail, etc.

Also, I agree that after a few hours, some mental fatigue can set in, especially after a couple of hours, and then you go on a bad stretch of unplayable hands.

Good idea, is to throw cold water on your face, during the breaks, or have some beside you when you're playing.

You need to be very good mathematically, have a very good understanding of the basic fundamentals of the game, and have a calm manner that does not allow the ego to take over. You must also observe your players carefully and try to understand their games.

There are plenty things, personally, in my case the important, relevant, the tourney selection and avoid cash games all the time, and sometimes the rebuys, as there are situations, when I can't stand make an other one... things like patiance, useless to mention, as everybody struggles with that time by time, even the most profitable, best players....

to be honest, I don't know how to approach the game and what I do in it, so I tried differently and played aggressively and only on a good card, and to be honest, the result is the same as continuing to play, and I sometimes do not know just lucky and for such an approach is not required

Hi.
I agree with you. Being patient is sometimes very difficult, but I also believe that patience is the key skill for long-term success.
Good luck and be patient.

A face re fresh is a great idea!! I'm gonna give it a go. I think concentration is a big factor for most people. Last nights pokerstars freeroll was a prime example, I'd been pretty solid all the way through, maybe only 1 or 2 small 'mistakes' reached the money places, relaxed a touch, went all in with 22, got called with AQ, Q hits and I'm gone.

It wasn't a completely bad move, maybe someone will tell me it was, :eek: to try to get aggressive and go further in the tourney, but I had another couple of rounds in my stack to maybe hit a better opportunity, and of course I didn't go further!!

Hello.
Obviously, patience is a very important skill that directly affects our results. That is why I have become a member of our community and try to patiently learn, develop and step by step improve my skills.

It helps keep me alert. I hope it can work for you.

To become a full-fledged poker player, you need to play 6-7 hours a day, listen to your intuition, not be afraid of anything in emergency situations on the hands and sometimes use bluff in the game.

I feel like i am lacking, discipline and i lose concentration after a while, i am easily distracted and i also struggle as someone else mentioned, with making agressive plays against the correct players... for example, i will reshove someones check raise thinking they are at it, when they flop a set or 2 pair or ill fold thinking they are strong then i see they were bluffing alot later on.... i cant seem to win at the moment and i struggle with understanding poker tracker and the notes etc... wish i had a mentor i could talk to on a regular basis and discuss these points with.. :)
