Ya Id have to say i have a similiar problem. Ill be allexcited early and play good n tight, (lol), and then as the night wares on i get bored and take risks, I think that is a gene in my body that enjoys the gambling aspects a little too much.

Well my biggest hole of late is simply tilting. I have gotten knocked out of 80% of my last 25 tournaments due to a bad beat (meaning I was a 70 to 30 favorite).

the biggest holes in my game would have to be over betting or calling something that is way to much with pocket pairs i just can never seem to get away from them and also my heads up game was very good a couple months ago but now that other parts of my game have improven i am not as strong at it.

I think mine is how to play a really good hand. Too often I slow play and someone calls the bets only to win on the river. Other times, I bet and find no takers. I just never go into these situations with a lot of confidence.

I never fold when i know i am beat. I'll make the read and know that he has me beat but i just can't lay down my hand 8 times out of 10. I've gotten a lot better at doing that recently, but i still do sometimes i.e. i have KK on a k 10 9 board river 7 and i go his j8 just caught up, but i won't fold. Sure enough he turns over j 8.

I think I have somehow accumulated and intergrated most of the holes described here into my game from time to time.
But the biggest issue for me is not to quit when I am supposed to.
I play low levels and I am trying build my bankroll up.
I make my target, but keep playing and then loose a big chunck on 1 or 2 hands.
In the recent days especially I have lost over 50% of my bankroll!!
I find playing at low levels confusing as often players call when they shouldnt and then end up hitting something wild.
This then throws my radar off, and I find that I start to call people who often bluff with sh**t hands and the loosing as they happen to have something once a night.I feel a lesson in patience is needed as there really is no need for me to call all in's so much either, despite having a very very strong hand ( I play short handed tables). Its that old question do I have the best hand or not..
But winning from other peoples mistakes, conditions me during the session to keep playing and to keep ca;;ing when I think I "know" something..
then at the end of the session, all my winnings are wasted on 1-2 lousy calls or even bad beats at times.
