Also, tilt. When i'm on tilt it clearly shows in my gameplay. Easily exploitable for anyone looking for that kind of thing.

My biggest weakness is definitely slots. I can be a bit of a degen on slots. Slots are a losing game, the house always wins in the end and I continually waste large amounts of my BR trying to hit the big one. I know better, I need to be more disciplined and stay out of the casinos.

My biggest weakness is fatigue. I work a lot but I love playing poker so when I get off work I try to play and sometimes I'm tried. I try to practice patience at all times when I'm playing but sometimes fatigue turns into aggressiveness because I try to push hands trying to make things happen and it doesn't always work out right.

my biggest weakness is that i tend to lose my composure when the variance favors my opponent on the turn or the river. to remedy it I fold all my hands the time to regain my senses but that prevents me from staying focused and playing my A game. at the moment I also find it hard to stay patient at the end of the game, especially when I'm short stack.


I remember satelliting into a live $1100 main event at a local casino (second biggest buy-in I've ever played) and getting a read on one player early in the event. After a few levels I was heads up against him and correctly jammed on a flop of 569 rainbow with AA and the guy called with 88 in an ~100bb pot. Turn was an 8 -that tilted me for weeks.

I find losing in live poker is more tilting than online, since you dedicate more time and energy into it (commuting, registering, waiting for live dealers, etc...).

Wow! That is certainly a stinger.


I had to give the noble hand shake to a gentleman that knocked me out DEEP in a $2,500 live event, when his QQ outdrew my AA (AIPF). I know that gut wrenching feeling oh so well. :)

My biggest weakness in the game is that I think poker is not a serious business. Therefore, I can not boast of special achievements.

Poker is a game. It's best enjoyed, by being enjoyed. :)

My biggest weakness is if I get to know somebody I am playing with, I usually play a lot more pots with them and not be as tight as I usually play. It has hurt me playing in a couple of smaller tournaments.

Keeping hold of my chips once I have a big stack in front of me, I tend to play a lot looser when I have a big stack, and they seem to drift away from me.
I do tend to click on the check or fold button too soon and when the action moves to me if someone has raised I have already selected the fold option.
I once played in a big tourney on-line and decided to stop this action by waiting for the timer to run down before I made a decision on every hand and it worked I made the final table and won quite a bit of money but then I go back to the old ways and start losing again.
It can be quite annoying to other players but that extra 30 seconds or so on every hand helped me win.

mi mayor debilidad es cuando pierdo una buena mano como ases de bolsillo, luego me vuelvo demasiado agresivo

This is a great question. For me it would be folding too much. I do great at min cashing, but haven't shipped too many tournies. I should probably play lower stakes and more volume.

Keeping poker as a fun activity. Not getting sucked into the poker player paradox of, "the more I play the more I'll win." It's not about winning, it's about enjoying the time spent playing. :)

Turns out my biggest weakest is being a noob! I didn't even know how much I could learn about poker. Thanks to everyone who shares.

jordanbillie, I like your style!

I don't have any weakness. I am not rich...Maybe this is a weakness. And I am crazy. Is this a weakness to? When I talk with the Voices, they say "This is not a weakness, you are special and you should be proud!". I don't know...

For me, my first weakness is bankroll management i'm not respecting the rules for both cash games and mtts, i like taking risks, sometimes it pays and when not... i'm broke.
My second weakness is not folding to 3bet with small and medium pocket pairs, i know that it's -EV but i'm getting obsessed with those players who 3bet with T9s 56s but sometimes V is 3betting with premium hands and i'm not folding especially when the flop is T high or less.
And finally my WTSD is pretty high, i have to do more folds on the river.

Mine is cashing out! I don't get it why the heck can't I cash out while I'm at the highest amount?
