I see too many potential flops and chase too much. Eventually I lose everything in that one major hand you get coolered.

I either assume the other player has me beat or I think they're bluffing/semi-bluffing

Do you know what harms you, or prevents you from being a constant winner in poker?

I believe that knowing this answer is one of the important keys to success in the game.
Yes, I have self-imposed rules and if I find myself breaking them, regardless of the outcome, then I know it's time to take a break and get some rest at the first opportunity.

Bad moves, bad luck, taxes, bots, poisonous structures, rake, tilt, money launders staking players, being stupid myself. There are quite a few reasons turns out.

having to pay to enter tournaments, they could all be free and with advertisements.

Yes, I know what my problem is. What hinders me the most is the lack of free time to play and improve skills. I am a patient and disciplined player, but I feel that I develop as a player very slowly and the only reason is the lack of free time, unfortunately.

In my experience, it's common to enter the party at the wrong time at the beginning of the race. we do not assess enough what the opponent can do next, how he will decide. And I also took into account if we don't get good cards for a long time. then we can become impatient. and we go with bad cards. rather than waiting for a strong combination until the end so that the profit starts and we can increase our chips. you have to learn poker for a lifetime. you have to learn many situations. to analyze. to concentrate!

I believe that the desire for permanent winnings has a negative impact on profitability in poker. In real life, this does not happen. As a result, you lose patience during the game, your strategy breaks down and you end up losing. In such cases, there will be no profitability.

You can't win absolutely everything, but at the same time, one attempt is enough to become a champion.

The ability to get in and lose control when you have a very strong hand, but not strong enough to win.

The other players.

They don't let me win or fold their winning hands. :(

🤣

Jokes aside. I am only a beginner still so I need to learn more details of the game.

I can only guess, but if I knew exactly what is preventing me from being a more successful player, I would immediately eliminate it. And I would win twice as many tournaments... no, three times! :cool:

Yeah. But knowing is only half the battle. The other half is following thru with adjusting what you've learned.

I think being a consistent poker winner takes time and a decent bankroll.
