Post your weakness...
A couple of weeks ago, melioris started a thread asking people to . So now I want to know, what's your biggest weakness?
For me, it's not quitting (soon enough) when I'm losing/running badly. I don't tilt much, and I never move up in stakes to try to chase my losses or anything like that, but I tend to extend my sessions way longer than I should. And a lot of those times, I'm not playing my best. I don't think I play horribly, but I definitely losen up, especially from the blinds *suited connectors start to look way too good to me) and especially against the table idiot who is naturally killing me. I also get a little bit too aggro, I think, thinking to myself "OK, no way did you just hit THAT hand (again)" even though I know damn well he did. Last night was a good example. I was at a table with two huge donks and they continued to suck out on me over and over. Then, because I started playing badly, I started losing pots to them that I didn't need to lose, trying to win my money back. Eventually, one guy disappeared and I still stuck it out, even though I was running terrible. I ended up winning some back in the end, but still finished down a few buy ins more than I should have, if I had just quit when I realized it wasn't my night. Your turn. |

Giving my opponents too much credit / pulling moves on idiots who are too stupid to understand them
Goodbye $2000 And pretty much word for word what you wrote also

that i suck, when i say suck i mean being worse than everyone else i play against. on a serious note, i find my self playing a perfect mtt for hours then out of the blue i do some crazy ass move i normally wouldnt do then i bust out. lately ive been playing alot of limit cash games and ive been very productive. limit prevents me from blowing my stack all on one hand like i seem to do over and over again in no limit. so i guess my weakness is finding away to blow up on one single hand.

two things, both of which you touched on in the OP
1). chasing loses 2). playing after I lose the discipline to make decisions for the right reasons. I guess people call this tilt, but tilt is such a misused phrase that I try not to use it when describing my playing. |

Playing when I don't have an edge
Unlike some of you high rollers, I'm playing 3/6 and 4/8 limit live games exclusively. Even with rake and tips, the game is beatable, assuming there are at least a couple of donators at the table. But they'll be some quiet Tuesday nights when it is me and five or six other regulars, taking turns winning small pots from each other. The only one making a profit is the house, and I should rack up and come back another day. But I stay and end up slowly pissing away a half a rack.

Being lazy. Don't work on my game near enough. Don't review my sessions. Don't get enough hands in. Also don't take enough shots in higher limits.

What a huge difference that makes (locals vs tourists/weekenders). When i get to AC a few times each year - i am usually there for a couple weekend days and a week day or two. What a HUGE difference the tables are Saturday compared to Tuesday.
