I really wish I would learn when and when not to be aggressive. It seems like I always make a push at the wrong time and end up getting screwed. On the flipside, whenever I sit back and play conservatively I usually miss out on what could've been a golden opportunity

There are so many things I'd like to change about my game. But if I had to choose one it would have to be poker math. I'm not so good at it, but one day I will be.

Improving my ability to fold. Seems to be my worst enemy.
I keep telling myself eberyone is NOT bluffing. LOL

Speaking of which I would like to learn to bluff, it seems to be such a HUGE part of the game.

Good question to make us think about our weaknesses and hopefully it will help us improve ..... Bearcat

I would love to call the donkeys when I know they have nothing when they go all in. Since I like to play longer than one hand... I guess I'll just keep folding!!!

Myself, like many who are beginners to the poker scene, I look for a better bluff and better skills in betting. Bluffing is a tactic that I find very difficult to accomplish. . .I have heard that you must have confidence in you hand in order to properly portray your strength and attempt to scare or push people out of the pot. For myself, I find I don't bluff. . .not at all. . .if I bet I tend to have a good hand and find this is the only way to maintain confidence in my hands.

One of the most difficult tasks I have found in poker is learning how and when to bet. . .continuation betting has become a clear focus of my learning and something I strive daily to get better at. I have scene a little success recently; however, I still find myself getting stuck 3-4 times a round folding after spending a lot to see the flop and turn, sometimes even the river.

i sorta wish i could quit chasing but it seems everytime i do fold a straight or flush draw its the next card dealt :confused:
and i wish i had more time to think on some hands even with the extra time on some of these sites it aint enough but if i had more time to think i might make a bigger mistake who know??

My major fault is refusing to fold when its fairly obvious I am behind.

Making stupid all in calls with TPTK when theres a flush or straight showing on the board.

The amount of times I hit CALL and know I should be laying it down is unreal.

I get myself into good positions with nice stack and then get greedy instead of being patient, I try to take risks which inevitably cost me dearly.

What starts off as me limping into pots soon becomes me calling raises with marginal hands. After the flop they raise all in and I call with maybe top pair or two pairs with a straight or flush showing...

I wish I could stop myself doing it, and I try to stop myself, but for some reason the mist descends and I end up getting busted by my own poor play.

probably fix my snap-judgements that I sometimes make, (even though when I make them, they are mostly correct.) The times I don't make them correctly It makes me disgusted that I didn't even dwell into my timebank at all.

Mine would be making better adjustments when it gets down to the final stage of a tournaments. I've blown a lot of strong positions after getting down to the final 3-5 players because I wasn't able to properly adjust to short-handed play.
