Just the fact that the adrenaline starts pumping like crazy in £11 DYM's, cos I'm thinking about the money. I'm rolled for games higher than these, but while the good times are back, I'm still recession affected, because of all we went through. I just wanna be able to play as I normally do, instead of it being like I'm having a heart attack for 40 mins! I've won over 70% of every £11 I've played, but I just can't leave the low stakes behind..
Great thread Twiglet Lady. Mine is lack of concentration, maiinly due to chatting too much in the chat box. I can prove my results are better when I ignore the chat. However, part of the fun IS the chatting, so it's a bit of an awkward situation. I think, on balance, I'd rather lose a few % points of profit & still chat, as long as I can still turn a profit. To me, abusing you & MOTHER is part of the fun. You both deserve it, too. You do. Posted by Tikay10
My biggest flaw (there are a few lesser ones too) is playing too many types of games at the same time. I have been known to play 2 or 3 holdem MTTs, a couple of Omaha HL STTs and some straight Omaha cash at the same time and all whilst trying to give Tikay some abuse at the Omaha HL STT tables!
I get confused, my brain hurts, I play badly and then usually lose connection too. All in all not profitable play.
Also, occasionally making spite calls when I'm pretty sure I'm behind but bored and fed up with being on the wrong end of some bad beats. Making a call thinking 'everyone is doing it to me lets see if I can put a bad beat on someone else' is also not profitable!
Spite calling after seeing bad bet sizing. Limp-shove your aa first level and yes I will call with 88 like an idiot. Overbet with trips...ill call with my overpair. Donk minbet the flop and I will raise any 2 and barrel all streets. Costs me a lot.
Will have to class drinking alcohol as 1 of my biggest flaws while playing. To much beer leads to silly raiseing out of position and lose calls on the river not the best of combos for winning poker.
The biggest flaw 90% of sky players make is not taking TIME into account. We get so much of it with no antes in play.
I play so much better when I Just walk away in mtt and come back refreshed, chips permitting. A fav has to be when playing at work, I'm just off home lol. A couple of levels out can do anyone the world of good.
Mine has to be none believing aggro spots, always at the wrong time lol
I play for fun micro dym's,freerolls & the odd mtt.Over 6 years my brm has been uber tight as can't afford to redeposit but have built up a big 3 figure sum.I am well over rolled for what I am playing but every time I try to move up the littlest amount it makes me feel uneasy & any bad run knocks my confidence big time.
