What is your biggest weakness as a poker player?

[milka1605]

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.

 

[Phoenix Wright]

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.

[zinzir]

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

 

[akgross]

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

 

[PINOY]

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.

 

[Stabbi]

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

 

[valetgll]

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

 

[markmu]

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

 

[marcoslopezbl]

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!

 

[tihomir_kula]

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.

 

[pablo lima]

my weakness

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.

 

[meter]

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

 

[Pokerpoet2]

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

 

[odo333]

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

 

[Joe]

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

 

[Costy69]

[angelluv725]

My biggest weakness is boredom..:boring:

 

[lcid86]

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

 

[diego farfan]

lack of concentration when interrupted while playing

 

[mervin88]

not taking poker seriously is causing me lose my bankroll
