My biggest hole is a try to bluff to much. It is just something I have to do. I make the right reads and yet I still feel like I have to bluff. I will get it most of the time but than other times I don't. That is what hurts me. The one time i dont get it I lose it all.

id have to say being "pot commited" sometimes i put way to much in the middle preflop and i feel the need to continue betting even if i missed on the flop...

i dont think "pot commited" really has a true meaning i think its more of an excuse to put more chips in

I dont know if i should be typign in my biggest game hole considering i'll hopefully be participating in the freeroll coming up

anyways, a big problem i face in the table is letting go of hands. For example, if i have AQ and im going heads up with someone. Flop is 8 10 K

and i am 100% confident that the other dude got a piece of that flop and i am basicaly drawing dead; i just can't let go.

He bets big, i call on the flop, he'll bet bigger on the turn.... i'll call again.

at this point, i've realised that im just digging my self in a deaper of a whole every time, but like nick said, my seconds biggest hole is being committed.. And since im already committed at this point of the game... i can't do much but push all in (i dont' know why, maybe im hoping the other dude is bluffing)

only to get dominated by two pair off the flop for him.

Talking hello

my biggest hole is folding hands I know i shouldn't because i am up against the chip leader at my table. I have done this so many times and when it comes down to it i would have won the hand if i went with my gut!!!!

ok ok i'll be serious.................ly the best!!!!

;;; ok ok

my biggest weakness is not being able to lay down a hand when i know i'm beat...
those odds seem so juicy and attractive that i have to call her.
hence i lose the yet another portion of my stack.

anyways.. yeah, but i'm still the best

The weakest part of my game, is that quite often I am afraid to raise. I will get a hand that is good enough to raise with, and i will just passively call to see the flop. When I hit the flop this is ok, but when I don't, I quite often lose control of the pot. My opponent will lead out and bet, and now i'm in some trouble. I think the reason that i do it is that i am afraid of being put all in over the top. This is usually a problem because i will raise with hands like AA AK and good stuff like that. It's when i have A8 and similar hands. If I raise, and then get re-raised, my A8 doesn't look nearly as good. So I usually make a smooth call instead, when, in fact, most of the time, I will win the pot without even having to see the flop. Something to work on though

At times I fall into Phil Gordon's "Fancy Play Syndrome". Flops great for me, maybe even the nuts, and I get cute with it when i should just bet. When I have a strong hand I'm never content with just taking the blinds. It seems like a waste to flop a set and only win the blinds. I end up checking until either they make no hand and I just take it on the river, or my foolish checks result in him hitting runner-runner straight or something like that.

You guys have holes in your game? Wow, I was always wondered what that was like...

My biggest weakness is not being able to step out of my comfort zone. I've developed a very definite style of play over the last two years, and getting outside of that is difficult for me at times. It's something I've been working on because I know that you make your biggest strides when you're stretching your game.
