re: Poker & What are your strength and weaknesses in poker?
OK, this is my biggest weakness, but is not the one I consider needing the most work. I am recovering from brain trauma. I have a tendency of making illogical leaps if my brain is going sideways. It is getting better with the treatments I am getting and as I am getting my discipline back. Do not consider playing high stakes if there are brain issues. Believe me, mental issues will hurt you. Then again, the way some of the people play on some of the sites I frequent, well, I may get money soon.
My biggest strength that I am shocked is translating into the online is reading many bluffs. I was shocked I would be able to translate it into the online environment. The other day someone was screaming bluff, with the amount of hands and the bets. I called him with K high and took him out. No bragging, just saying it is nice to see it translates from irl to online.
My biggest weakness is a toss up between bet sizing and my gambling side. I am working on sizing, as hold em is way different then I am used to. My next is that I am not wanting to stay in hands like many others are. I have a good flop, but do not stay in if someone is betting on the heavier side if the flop is not close to what I need. I just do not want to gamble lots of chips for no guarantee of getting what I need. Same goes for having a marginal hand and someone overbets. I could improve, but not necessarily. I almost consider it being an ATM if I keep going, even if I river rat it.
