Why you suck at poker

#1 my internet connection isn't fast enough...
#2 got that damn university on my head (ditching a class as I speak)

- I can't make good decisions in 30 seconds and tend to default to "no one ever bluffs here, fold" or "fuck this guy, he's so full of shit, call"
- I'm too afraid to run huge bluffs, hero call, or slowplay drawy boards

- I hate gambling
- I like seeing other people's cards

-i am life -EV right now

i am just too stupid for it, period.

- i dont fold when i know i'm beat
- tilt control not good
- trying to outplay the donks without having cards :D

- i dont technically know all the rules
- my pokerstars didn't come installed w/ a fold button (where do I d/l it?)

-I pay off nutpeddling nits who have 0% bluffs in their range.

I give fish zero credit so make plays that make me the fish.

- Play too long when losing.
- Don't play enough in general.

- Get way too passive when winning or playing too long.

- being afraid to bet my straights( how the fuck do you write this o_O ) if the river completes a flush draw

- Not being patient in tourneys
- Not reading/analyzing enough.
- Not even setting up my HUD properly.

OP, you pretty much listed all of the things I am trying to work on

spend more time reading the ROFL thread than threads that would actually help.

+1. and I tilt hard. stack off 200bb deep in all the wrong places.

- i suck at long sessions, 2 hrs is my threshold usually
- i can only play my A game if i'm roughly within a certain amount up or down for the day (ie not too much down not too much up)
- my game suffers a lot if im not playing under optimal conditions (i.e proper rest, not been awake more than 12 hours, not hungry, uncomfortable, etc) so I'm not in the best position to take advantage of good games that might spring up when it's not the best time for me to play (which is very important at 25/50nl, where the state of the games determine when you grind, definitely not when you feel like it)

- I know that i should only play when im feeling good and be willing to play my A game, but for some reason this feeling isn't there most of the time anymore. So i end up playing while im not really in the mood or not playing at all which sucks.

-if i get deep stacked (200bb) i start doing the most retarded moves just to see reactions

- I'm too afraid to run huge bluffs, hero call, or slowplay drawy boards

^ im the complete opposite, i live for hero calls, repping drawy boards, and running stupid big bluffs. and trust me it's a much bigger leak than yours.
-even though i know the above stated are leaks, i feel the only reason i don't make money off it is because im not good enough yet, and in order to get good enough i have to keep failing at exactly that lol.
-BR MANAGEMENT im down to 20$ because of HU nl10
-I find HU fascinating and i fully intend later for it to be my bread and butter.
