In this thread I think it's a good idea to post what you think your best and worst attributes are in your nlhe game just now.

Personally my main weaknesses right now are:

- Coping with downswings
- Not playing enough hands/losing motivation

Strengths:

- Recognising and stopping tilt
- Table selection
- Adapting to different opponents

What about everyone else?

My strenghts would have to be:
Picking up on others hands, depending on the way that certain hand has been going.
Know when to fold/raise/bet a good percentage of the time.
I know this really isnt a strength, but, I have been known to have a pretty good amount of luck.
I am familiar with every poker game that is played pretty universally, and seem to do ok in all of them.
I like ring games the best, but also finish strong in deep stack tournies as well.
My weaknesses:
If I take a really bad beat, I tend to get REALLY pissed off, and it can throw me off my game.
My reads are not always going to be correct (which is obvious,) so sometimes I will raise or go all in when I have already drawn dead, or its already too the river.

My main weakness is that I get bored at times.

My main strength would be my hand reading.

I could never get bored playing poker. I can get exausted after playing for like 3 or 4 hours, but it never gets boring. I think its for the simple fact that no hand would be played the same. As well as some other factors.

Weakness - fear of success, not playing aggressive enough when having more chips

Strength - playing a varied game and that makes me hard to read for the opponents.

My strenghts would be playing aggressive, knowing how to read some people.

My weaknesses would have to be dealing with losses or bad beats. Being too aggressive at times.
