There's no way , after a bad beat the best way to pass the tilt is leave the poker for a while aside and cool down

I had a bad beat for a few days in a row that I get confuse in my head for all that I've learned before. I started to be afraid of All-in game and start to avoid it constantly. Then I realized it was actually part of the game and if you want to progress in MTT you have to take such steps and accept the game. When I realized that there was no more trouble for me, now a bad beat I take with smile. Even more, now I've got courage to push All-in with a hand with which previously wouldn't have thought to go in some of the pots.

I understand you. I started going all in with right hands but losing to the wrong hands. Today I share these bad beats laughing and always making notes on the players. Great to know that you are also one who knows how to handle bad beats , many fail .

Getting angry when losing...Like Greek philosofy says, when you are angry do not say or do anything!

Letting my big hands go when I know they are probably beat. Been folding for hours and finally hit a big hand, it can be hard to let it go even if all the signs say you are beat.

Greatest weakness, to control it itself after a loss. I fall in tilt sometimes and I can not restrain itself. And also sometimes game not on bankroll.

Not studying opponents style and betting patterns closely enough, I'm usually doing other stuff while playing...

Also, I play very tight.. so i'm easily read by opponents... I'm not aggressive enough post flop either...

Calling down too often.

A bad habit I need to kick from my fixed limit days.

I tend not to stop if Im losing badly.

I want to chase my losses to the point of even going up in stake.

my weakness in poker is my lack of patience on the game there are times that i just go all in just to finish the game faster.

Burn-out.
I'm prescribed a heavy dose of heart medications by my cardiologist which keep me awake for days ( necessary to keep me alive... ).
This kind of leads to literally days of boredem.
Cure?
Poker!
So of course I play for hours and days on end but often don't realize when I've hit a burn out phase.
I will loosen up to a point of playing nearly any two cards.
Then I'll start making nasty hero calls that I'd never play in my right mind...

Do you know what your greatest weakness in poker ?

Without a doubt I surely know what my greatest weakness is in poker. My greatest weakness is bankroll management (BRM). I can't tell you the number of times I would have $200-300 and go up to the casino 45 miles away to play $1/2 NL. Very stupid of me.

Another extremely stupid thing I would do many years ago is once a month I would take my check from work & take it 100 miles to Detroit casinos & cash it there. I would then proceed to play 5-10 & 10-20 limit hold'em with under $400 in my pocket.

Obviously I lost a tremendous amount of time.

One of my greatest weaknesses in online poker if i get a bad beat/suckout on 1 table while playing on multiple tables in can transfer from that table to all or some of the tables im playing.it used to happen a lot more before but i have learned that having a smoke :canabis: and or a coffee :coffee: can have a very calming effect before you go on tilt or can pull you back from it very quickly and another thing i find that calms me down about about a bad beat say pocket 8s cracking pocket rockets is that i have often been on the other side of it and have beaten aa with 88 its all part of the game and if it did not occur then poker would not be the game we all know and love.

I would have to say my biggest weakness is having too much pride in situations where I know I should just lay the hand down. I'm really working on trying to make some key folds now and again

My greatest weakness is getting bored when I'm in a long MTT. And it's not like I don't have anything else to do, because I play 2 or 3 at the same time.

My biggest weakness in poker - I'm not playing bankroll and I can not stop in time, hoping that the card will come when you have to fold.

As for me: lack of patience, like many players :) and the desire to get everything and quickly. If I decided to raise, then I will go to the end, even with bad flop and turn for my hand. It's not even a bluff. I just do not know how to call this my shortcoming. But that I am!)))
