What Is The Biggest Flaw In Your Game?
I guess that whatever the stakes, whatever the game, everyone makes mistakes at the table now and again.
So, whether it be MTT, SNG/DYM or Cash, have you identified a problem, but just can't seem to kick it?
Is there anything about your game you wish you could specifically improve?
Or, are you superhuman and maintain a concentrated mind forever and never put a foot wrong?
I guess I had better own up first.
I almost always play PLO8 DYMs. If you don't know the game, it's (or is for the most part) a game very much card dependant. Hand selection Pre-Flop is probably the most important aspect of the game. Anyways, If I'm involved in a pot and the board is a complete bag of spanners, I find it very hard to accept that people have called a raise Pre-Flop, with the bag of rubbish necessary to have hit the board big. Too many times I'll call with the 3rd or 4th nuts, when I shouldn't be calling, and I'm invariably losing. Easily fixable I know, but quite simply, I'm too often a non-believer. Far too often I have a finger bouncing up and down ready to click 'call' whilst saying to myself, 'I shouldn't be doing this'. but I will do it anyway! It's sort of difficult to describe if you don't play the game, it doesn't make me a station, but it's still a flaw and something I will improve upon.
So, without giving too much away about your game, what is you biggest flaw, or to put it more kindly, what one single aspect of your game do you wish you could improve on?
I told Tikay I was gonna start this thread, he kindly asked me to add a note and request that RichOrford doesn't contribute as people won't want to read page after page after page after page after page after page of his self-admitted shortcomings.
GL, run well.

Biggest flaw is sitting down with you ! (only kidding) :-)
I've been thinking a lot about this recently , with the bad run i've been having.
I found that i have been 3 betting too much with less than premium hands.
e.g. AQ36, etc.
Also i'm like you , a non-believer against certain players (need to read notes before clicking) lol.
See you later to see if i've learnt anything !
Edit: I wont mention splits again, promise :-)))
But it's probably not paying enough attention to my opposition and making plays which might be solid in isolation, but are utterly ridiculous /obviously losing against the person I'm facing in that hand.
I'm just very, very slow to pick up on other people's habits/tendancies/strategies etc. Not much different to real life to be honest lol.
It does feel a lot more money when you do notice (and exploit) a read, just that it's very, very rare... if only I could concentrate more on the player and not the cards!!
my biggest flaw is sitting down at a table:@)
Probably being too agressive with risky 2nd nuts not believing like you vespa and still going with it.
Also playing too many spanner hands too often!
not really paying attention as i should i,e stop playing fifa on the ps3 at the same time.
but my biggest problem is me and my own game which needs me too go back too the drawing board and start again and figure out why im doing so bad lately... all the best churchy
Play too many hands (tight is right in HiLo)
Get too attached to A2
Overplay AAxx or KKxx hands

Dumb.
Gotta agree with this.
It usually works like a charm too.
full houses sets weak flushes... they all were hands that people usually say can't be folded but some villians now show evidence that they can.
so all i need to do is play more omaha and it will become much easier to fold these full houses, sets and flushes.
Poker wise, how long is a piece of string?
I play my best poker in all in Sats!
About an hour ago, whilst holding the stone cold nuts, I folded to a pot raise because I wasn't paying attention, due to giving Tikay some verbal in the chat-box!
That'll learn me.
Only my opinion of course, but it sure beats chest thumping bravado and endless nonsense about the R.N.G.
Please keep them coming, there's no shame!
...about that RNG...
Ha!
Love your humour, never cease to make me smile.
My grandma laughs a lot at my jokes.
I really wish she wouldn't .
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.
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!
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.
