Pro Players: What were the holes in your game during your first year?

[dogmeat]

Cold calling

Poor hand selection

Lack of aggression

Not necessarily in that order.

dogmeat covers it pretty well. but i would like to add that playing too many hands usually is the problem. even if you think you are tight i doubt it. especially as a new player you dont know how to play the hands correctly that arent really very good. and that costs alot of money, as playing too loose puts you in those spots all day long.

And an extension of this is playing hands in the wrong situation, i.e. wrong position, versus the wrong type of opponent, etc.
