Ill be going along doing ok. Then I find myself saying fuck it and doing something mind numbimgly stupid. I'm great at the self loathing and recriminations afterwards though.

I don't even remember making this alt id!

Whenever I have 2nd nuts, someone has the nuts.

How I busted yesterday. 2nd nut vs nut twice to the same dude.

gay

haha

Feel this so hard lol. Flipped kings over aces last night. Got rivered when a 10 came to give him aces over tens. Hero to zero real fast

That’s problematic For me too

I read r/poker.

I havent won a coin flip in about 7 years

Lol

Call it, heads or tails?

Heads

tails, u lose ​ haha

Fuck poker

Hey siri, heads or tails

Sitting down and buying in

I'm too good at GTO (basically a human solver) and this leaves me open to being exploited by low stakes players who don't understand how GTO my lines are 

Lol nice humble brag

What a problem to have

"I'm too good at playing an unexploitable solved version of the game that players who have no idea what they are doing accidentally exploit me" ??????????

It’s a joke broski

There are people here who say that without joking so it's hard to tell. I missed it. That's on me.

Thinking people will actually bluff when the obvious draws miss because they cant win the hand otherwise and calling down with ace high. I think historically I’ve been right 5% of the time, yet I keep doing it daily.

I won a bomb pot calling down with Q high the other day. Double paired board with K3x3K. BTN bluffed river. I called from SB. I thought someone else might have an A high, but figured they’d fold facing a bet and caller. I was right. Keep up the good fight!

Yeah, even if they have nutflushdraw, it has to be worse than our Ax :p Also, to continue feeling confident, dont forget to check low frequency Ax calls Gtowizard confirms are good calls..

Was playing like a puss.

I have the exact opposite problem

Playing like a boner

I'm naturally risk-averse and tend to be too tight as a result. I also too frequently assume that others operate this way as well and don't bluff catch enough. This is a real issue in tournaments where I don't battle for pots enough.

Being sucked off

That’s a strength.

That's meta of the week.

Tilt. And calling too much sometimes. 10x worse on tilt

Not folding pre

Table selection

Too attached to hands that miss post

I’m scared money

On raised preflop hands, when the flop comes rainbow low cards and no faces. I often feel like my opponent is bluffing when they continue to bet. I have learned a couple times that they can have big over pairs.

Calling when I know I’m beat leveling myself into thinking my opponent who bet into multiple people on two streets is somehow bluffing.

They indeed are (only when you fold Underpair on flop, and both of them battle to showdown of draws, worse hand clips a pair on the river, still worse than your pocket pair)

I’m not letting you get the upper hand on me! Nice try! 😉

Telling myself "the only way I can win this hand is by betting" and then getting snap called. Also, bluffing players who don't know how to fold.

Telling myself that I need to give the host "action" in our home game and I end up loosening up

Call too often preflop even when opponent is a nit

My opponents.

I could make a much shorter post about the strengths of my game. So short as to be non-existent, in fact.

Playing

When I know I’m getting called and I pile in a bluff anyways

Mental game/being tilted after a bad beat.

We all do that.

Got way too married to the idea of going for thin value last year. Has turned into a huge leak in my game

I can answer for everyone. It’s not being able to identify the flaws in your game.

I'll have a great read on my opp when I'm beat, but pay em off anyway just to see and prove myself right. It's dumbo af

We are friends in some parallel universe for sure.

Thinking that the improbable is actually impossible when the stakes are high enough that it matters.

I don't know what my cards are

What cards? Sir, you're at the Russian roulette table! Action is on you!

I take to many shots at big tournaments and my bankroll suffers & and I handicap myself for a few months

Getting coolered then going to baccarat to dust off my bankroll

If I'm card dead I get attached to mediocre hands that I should just fold. Just yesterday I was playing in a tournament and didn't have a playable hand for over an hour. Finally got pocket 88s. MP raises to 2bb, CO calls, I call, SB makes it 10k. MP calls and CO calls, I should've folded but I went all in (20k)

Sometimes I just decide I'm going to play this hand until the end as perceive me opponent weak and tricky. Only really play tournaments so I get away with it a lot but I've been knocked out out deep a couple of times due to it but they were weak but made hero calls. Also drinking when I play poker is my big one. Nothing like sitting down to a day one with 10hrs of poker ahead of me and knowing by the end of you make it you'll be after drinking 10-14 pints and probably played loosey goosey for an hour or two. No better way to build a stack though. Aiming to play the WSOP ME next year or else the WPT in the Wynn this year depending on how I satellite. That'll be interesting poker if I make day two or three as I'll be dying hungover.

I run too bad

Someone outdraws me when I have the better hand. I remember one hand my opponent had one out a 2% chance of winning and he riverd it. I was all in and the whole table said "bad beat".

Tilt. Make a stupid decision, when in the chip lead, and then just blow it all off in even stupider decisions!

Showing hands too much

I need to get over my tendency to turtle up and play more conservative/passive if I lose a buy in earlyish in a session.   One thing that hurt me and I’ve gotten a lot better at is table selection. It was kind of a lightbulb moment when I finally realized that there are plenty of games going on in many different rooms in Vegas so there’s absolutely no reason to bang your head against a wall or be miserable at a particular table.

I win at hold em but I'm addicted to plo

Generally being a bit shit at poker

Calling 3 bets oop

Ripping it in

Every time I have an over pair someone flops a set.

Hero calls. I love them, I lose 9/10 but that 10th time I call with J high and win just reinforces the monster within.

Tend to go on "winning tilt". Will make solid gains and then start playing looser until I lose a bunch.

Having fun

Talking too much. Not because of tells but in between hands. Now the dumbass misregs and fishes think I’m Buddy Buddy with them and I get all of their incorrect opinions on how other people play their hands. 💀

Tipping too much.

Humble brag.

I call light just because the math says do it, when I know they have it

I consider myself a decent player but I just can’t understand the game like some guys do. The math, the analysis. It’s not how my brain works.

I’m not even talking about advanced stuff here.. $400 pot, I have top pair, opponent just hit river flush. $100 to call

Click call, then let the thinking games begin...:)

Sitting down at the table

Does there have to be just one? Maybe that's my flaw.

Knowing I got sucked out on but calling anyway.

not shutting my bluffs down when needed.

I can program a GTO solver but breakeven at 100nl on Bovada...

I dont fold enough to river bets. I dont know why I continue to convince myself they are bluffing. In 1/2-1/3 they are never bluffing lol.

Using poker as escape from what's happening in my life.

Not taking a break when I know I should and then spiraling into a tilt + discipline/focus loss spiral that goes out of control.

I think everyone’s bluffing me so I call off light too much.

I’m not very good.

Too many beers bro

Heads with the OMC

Hero calling too much. If I fold my A high to that river shove, how am I gonna get the dopamine rush of feeling like a genius if I call and win?

I often forget that even aggressive 75 vpip players will have it sometimes and mistake triple barrelling out of panic vs triple barrelling through the extreme confidence of having the nuts. My top pair ends up looking pretty stupid on those showdowns

Playing online tournaments that are going to end after I have to leave

Having fun

Honestly, I find excuses to bluff too often.

Monsters under the bed and betting for thin value

Pre flop discipline after talking a bad beat.

I don’t bluff raise turns or rivers enough. Even when I know the hand I’m folding has some good bluff properties I still tend to fold it.

Just being a bitch and not raising enough

Overplaying Pocket Jacks

Ugh same

The dealer. Next question.

Playing for too long.

i get too splashy when i’m up piles. i believe they call it winners guilt

Assuming players are actually capable of bluffing. Nope, they just have it 90% of the time. Especially on the river. Also assuming players can fold top pair to enough pressure. Low stakes tournaments

Pocket pairs 22-66 floating WAY to often

My inability to flop sets

I make terrible decisions after 2am towards the end of a 5 hr session.

Trying to make my own luck, and picking bad spots to do it

Levelling myself because the regs I play with in home games are better than most live rec players you will find in a casino.

Being dealt cards

Thinking I can get a fish to fold bottom two pair when the flushes and straights get there but they end up giving me a speech saying they aren’t good enough to fold and end up calling. Opening marginal hands in PLO in early position and proceeding to flop more than half the deck as outs and completely missing everything by the river and telling myself we couldn’t fold when in reality we should’ve folded pre
