My biggest hole is giving up when I'm low stacked.  I finally figured this out the other day.  I was in a SNG at my local poker league.  There was no money on the line, but pride and points.  People don't play like it's free for the most part so it's a good game.  We where down to 3 players out of 10 to start and I had A9 the flop the board had 9 as the high card and the pot was not huge, but big enough to care about winning it.  I lead out on every turn and on the river I bet out 1/2 the pot and he went all in.  I was so not sure of what to do.  At this point the chips in the pot would have made me a huge chip leader, but calling would have crippled me to the ponit of 3 BB's, not calling would put me 3rd, but close to 2nd.  I folded and of course the bastard turned over a bluff.  Now 99.9% of the time I go on tilt and go all in the very next hand.  This time I decided not to.  I played strong and tripled up on good sound play and was just short of 1st in chips. I actually ended up only placing 2nd after a marathon 1:20 min 3 man game (started with 10) and another 40 min HU battle.  Usually I would have gone all-in out of frustration loose and had placed 3rd.  I did only place 2nd (which is better than 3rd last I checked) and I should have won the hole thing, but the guy got lucky on the river vs. me 2 times!  
 
My lesson was to never give up!
