I was wondering what everyone feels is their biggest weakness: do you tilt too easily? do you play too many hands? do you play at the wrong times? etc.

For me, I would say that my lack of patience is my biggest weakness: impatience while playing games and impatience to wait for optimum games/times to play.

How about you? Would love to hear from everybody!

I have realised that my worst enemy when I am playing poker is my EGO. Actually I am working in that and I feel much better.

I need to be more resistant about my patience, so my weakness is mindset.

My biggest weakness as a poker player is keeping my emotions in check after a few bad beats. I tend to go on tilt and lose a chunk of my bankroll before I get myself back in check.

My biggest weakness right now I would say is I probably Cbet too much. I am consistently trying to spot leaks in my game and correct them but sometimes I go a little extreme with Cbetting.

Last time i realized that im'not enough patient that i was. Trying play bad hand only for get chance to play big stake with them counting that it will happen. You now how it works often.

Definitely my biggest weakness is a combo between tilting after several bad beats in a row () and underestimation of opponents. Often times it seems like they either have a weak Hand or no Hand at all, then @ Showdown Opponent Shows Hands - trips, straights, flushes.

I am subject to tilt, it affects the game and bankroll very much, I need to work on it

When i hit a decent or a big score i feel like a have some money to just burn and i am doing some stupid things like overbetting underdogs in sports, playing overall bad thinkless poker etc. Just a "give some back to the community" approach.

With your question you made me wonder, I think I bluff to often, It has been mentionned to me a few times so I am working on that point.

My biggest weakness is laziness)))

My only "weakness" is not feeling sorry if people who hate me are eliminated and so on (in cc events)

im so greedy hahaha

Impatience is the biggest enemy of poker players (at least that's what I think) because it makes you make bad decisions. In Venezuela we say "patience is a virtue". GL

It was not being patient and playing too many hands. Once I learned that, it was what to do in the SB. It takes a different strategy playing in that position.

My biggest weak point is when I had a monster hand.

Even if an opponent has a stronger monster hand, there are a lot of things which can't feel that.

My biggest weakness is sometimes forgetting that there are strong players everywhere. I'm not saying that I think I play good and everybody else plays bad. But there are large number of players out there who count on luck. Their strategy seems to be to play bad and get lucky. Then there are players that don't play that bad. And there are some that don't play bad at all. But I often forget that there are really good players out there, the kind that know how to switch things up and shift gears, who know how to set traps.

Every once in a while I encounter one of these players. After the cards get turned over and surprise of how good a hand I was up against has had a moment fade, I realize that I should have seen it. But I get used to players shoving any Ace from A-10 up, and coin flipping with any pocket pair that I forget that there are legitimately good players out there that know how to slow play hands, set traps, and even play a hand so it looks like an obvious bluff when they actually have the nutz.

Oddly enough, my biggest weakness as a poker player is playing in an online casino.

It's not a bad idea to hear the weakness of other players to use this knowledge in Cardschat tournaments. My weakness manifests itself when I can't recognize my opponent's weaknesses and I have to call all in preflop.

I have many shortcomings, sometimes I watch too many hands, and sometimes I easily go into tilt, but my biggest drawback is that I often lose)))

k 3 of diamonds is a monster and should be played at all times, regardless of any situation

I would think telling everyone else your weakness may in fact be your weakness.
Always working on all aspects of my game and adapting to the ever changing challenges of the game.

I'm very worried to mention my weaknesses on the forum. Only thing I say is impatient.

I have multiple weaknesses. My biggest weakness is executing bluffs and reading opponents hands. I always can't figure out if my opponent has a hand or not.

Tiltness! (is that a word?)

an angry player goes to a bad palce, makes mistakes, call OOP and more bad decisions in general....

Never tilt, take a break!

I think we all have one weakness in poker. Everyone wants to win a lot of money. But it remains only in dreams. Even the one who says that poker for him is just a game somewhere far in the soul to get enough of a good win.

I've been working on this one: I used to bluff too much. Perhaps it is connected to the patience many members are mentioning, but I improved greatly when I realized I could just value bet calling stations constantly and they will seldom adjust much. I was too often getting into the flawed mindset of thinking I could bet x-amount or semi-bluff x-hand to get someone to fold their flush draw or whatever; some players just won't fold and there is no point in bluffing them.

p.s. I know this is a "basic" point, but it was an important one for me when I grasped it.

Maybe not directly connected to the game, but I think my current biggest weakness right now is my lack of poker study on a computer. I know there are lots of poker programs out there, but that is something I never got into using and I think I am missing out by not utilizing these resources (I do use the free program Equilab, but naturally "free" software is only so helpful).

I think my weakness is actually folding too early. I'm always scared of a big bet or raise and see nuts in opponents hand. Especially on lower stakes I should call a lot more. The problem is if I call something I believe is a bluff and he shows me nuts I'm devastated. I really like to make a good call and even losing by lucky river doesn't make me feel that bad as just calling with worse hand...

I lose focus and become disinterested unless I'm actively in a lot of hands.
Fun when it works but that's an easy way to lose a lot of chips.

I'm so distracted , that's mi weakness

My weaknesses are too numerous to count, but the most significant are the lack of poker skill and experience.

My most common mistake is a game with bad cards against strong players.

My biggest weakness in poker is not putting opponent in range of hang before getting involve and folding the river even i think i am beaten.

My biggest weakness is that I don't like taking away chips from people who I like or who are nice to me

Don't worry about this. Take their chips anyway. Apologize profusely if it makes you feel better. But keep taking them! You' get used to it.

My biggest weekness is my brain. If i am fil in game i can win anyone, but most of the time i play good half game and then my concentration goes down and i lose

My weakness is that I would like to devote more time to poker but there is no way.

usually after 1 hour in game i start to loose my focus and make bad mistakes. Usually i just call sth. but i haven't seen on the board that my opponent probably has a flush. I already can't remember all the times that this happend

I'll say this here and only once, but I don't suppose I'm the only one that overpays for straight and flush draws... come on!

Sometimes I play very bad in the middle of the game.Very often enter in money,but take last positions.Its too difficult for me to be a chip leader.

my weakness is not knowing how to control myself when i lose a very profitable hand like me 78% and my opponent 22% it always happens both in 888 and in pokerstars i stay to break my notebook with so much anger.

My biggest leak/weakness is getting raised at the turn with 2.pair and dont believe they have the low set. Limping with small.pair an call my raise. I know it is clear that i am beat. But hard to.lay down 2 pair

My biggest weakness is laying down Pocket Rockets even when I feel I am beat, I need to see the river.

Being impatient is not only your downside. Also, I often experience overly hasty decisions out of boredom or unwillingness to wait for a better hand. I think it's the hardest part of poker to play for money

My biggest weakness is not knowing what my biggest weakness is...

My biggest weakness as a player is calling these guys online and having them dominated and the outflop me. Its crazy. But im not gonna stop doing it.

My biggest weakness is boredom..

Time. I start games when I don't have time to finish them. End up playing loose trying to build a quick bankroll.

lack of concentration when interrupted while playing

not taking poker seriously is causing me lose my bankroll

time to change
