I found a third weakness - I never ever go with my reads and I end up folding the best hand/making a bad call.

e.g. I limp UTG with 77 in a deepstacked tourney, couple more limpers and someone raises it up for about 25% of my stack. I'm confident if I pushed he would fold but I fold like a pussy with everyone else. Raiser shows 72o and wins a keg of beer.

In another example a guy went all in on a Q88 flop when I held 44. I was confident I was ahead but still folded; he tabled AJ.

So I guess my strength is spotting when my shit hands are actually good. Now to call with everything!

strenght :
-extremely good to read people

-manipulative and influencial (when talking at the table). I talk, put people on a hand talk, bet, and they fold the better hand because my read was correct, or they are scared to bet. Example : I raise from the CO 5x BB 1-2 live table pocket 2's 2h-2d. Get reraised by Button to 25$. I think a bit and call. Flop KcJc5s. I think, look at him, check and say right after, you have AQ. He thinks thinks thinks and checks. turn 3d. Take time and check. He checks behind. I check river 3h. He checks and says "I can't believe I missed that" having the AcQc. A small river bet would of settled the deal for him.

-Now ok, you think he played it bad the AQ, but another strenght is my table image. Because of my image, he did not bet if we take the previous example, showing down good hands and making good moves


Weakness : I know I have some that a better player will exploit and have an edge. Also, I'm often fucked when playing a maniac.

strengths -
- I learn quickly
- can't say I don't tilt, but I'm able to recognize when I am tilting and force myself to quit
- not a biggie but teh maths come easy to me
- I think I'm pretty good at going over my critical hands after a session and picking out errors
- I'm sexy imo

weaknesses
- need to think everything through more thoroughly when making decisions, I snap-action sometimes when it's not needed
- need to post more hands and get some more criticism
- I have neighbors with small children who probably hear every bad beat in the form of a 80 decibel four letter word

My greatest weakness is fear. My greatest strength is not allowing the other players on the table read me and my style because im so eclectic in my playing .
