Have you ever seen yourself trying to play poker but unfortunately you're struggling seriously? If you have ever found yourself in that situation, did you find out the reason why you had the struggle? Were you able to get yourself out of such situation?

What makes you struggle at playing poker?
 
Tilt along with emotional choices in most cases prove to be my biggest obstacles in poker. When I lose in poker and or in bad beat, it makes me angry thereby driving me to make some hasty choices that usually create further financial losses.
 
The only time when I usually see myself struggling at playing poker is when my head isn't in the game but I'm forcing myself to play that time probably because I have a target of wins I want to reach.
 
Many things makes me to struggle in game of poker but poker math is quite a knack i find very difficult to overcome. Once i will be able to master poker math, i will turn professional.
 
For me, it is always a mental game leak that always results to my biggest struggles in poker. If it is not impatience, then it is me dwelling too much on recent losses. And when I struggle like that. It compounds my woes as I lose focus. I always take breaks in such situations.
 
Sometimes it’s just a mental thing. I get impatient, overthink spots or try to force moves instead of waiting for the right moment. Other times, it’s about focus; distractions or fatigue make me miss details at the table. When I notice it, I usually step back, take a break, clear my head, and come back when I feel sharper. Struggling often comes from pushing too hard or not managing your mindset, so catching it early is key.
 
Bad beats, coolers, and frustration that piles up over time. Other than that I don't really struggle.
Mistakes happen. I learn from them, and move on. You can't win them all.
Revenge playing is one of worst mistakes a player is ever going to make. In that state, the player is no longer thinking clear and will keep making series of mistakes that will cost him everything if they don't stop.
