for me is the bad beats, when you're doing everything right, and the river turns the tables, then again there's a lot to learn about strategy, so room for improvement

For me it's making the same mistake time and time again. I keep telling myself that I'm not going to do it and then at just the wrong time impulse takes in and I do it again. I always lose when that happens.

you lose with a strong hand after a while of waiting and lose to a weaker hand.

The most frustrating thing is how much I get dealt premium hands and a jackass comes out and beats me 2-7... :D But it's part of the variance we can do... It's not always the best hand that wins :rolleyes:

For me are the bad beats. It's so frustrating when you are playing a good tournament and you're next of the big payouts and then you're out for a bad beat. Unfortunately this happens so many times.

What I find most frustrating is when a player consumes the maximum time in each hand

I mostly play regular speed MTTs but they are so much time consuming , in the near future I won't be able to spend so much time for poker.

And of curse the bad beats deep in a tournament , you have been playing 5 hours for example and you get back 3x-4x the buy in. So frustrating!

The most frustrating thing for me in poker is folding a strong hand when more than one player goes all-in and the flop comes with the cards that would give me the win.

What upsets me the most is my poor internet connection. Especially when I play in my favorite tournaments. But for me, this is not a reason to stop playing. I think that in the near future I will connect an additional backup line of Internet communication and then life will be much better.

I am saddened by the lack of the result I was hoping for. Maybe I set myself too ambitious goals, but I'm sure I can follow the plan and achieve the goal.

my biggest issue is getting a good stack and then changing play by getting risky.

Really Good Question...Iryna

For starters, I have never thought about quitting poker... I have too much fun and enjoyment playing poker to ever consider quitting... but, I think that if you are just a recreational player, as I am, that is an easier mindset to have. If I was attempting to Play Poker for a Living, well then, I can easily understand coming to the decision to quit poker and spend my time on some other endeavor that provides a more steady and reliable income.

But as I reflect on it I would have to say the Most Frustrating Thing, for Me, is when I do not play my best at key moments of the game... Bad Beats, No Cards, that is just part of the game and while I do not enjoy it, lol, I understand it is part of the game. Playing Poorly though, is Just All On Me, And That Is Very Disappointing and Frustrating!

Take Care All,

Teddy

There is nothing that upsets me about poker. I treat the game lightly and just have fun. Nevertheless, I am a disciplined and patient player even though I am a beginner.

The most frustrating thing about poker is not playing your best poker at all times.

Bad beats. But never thought about quit. I take breaks, not quit. Always back for more.
