WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES?

Strengths:

Very strong HU.
Calculating Odds.
Reading Hands.
I almost never tilt, and I can play for at least 5 hours in top condition given a good night's rest.
Most Importantly: The drive to become the best.

Weaknesses:

Not too fantastic playing LAG in a full table(when needed), but improving a lot playing HU recently.
Not too great at multi-tasking. I don't think I'll ever play over 3 tables at once.
It's almost completely out of my game now, but I have called before just to see if I was right or not. The confidence that I now have with my reads in many situations comes from these dead calls that I have probably spent about 1000 dollars on.
I noticed this recently, but I have a very hard time letting go of Kings =P.

Strengths:

Very dicsiplined pre-flop play
Unpredictibality
Using position to advantage
sensing traps

Weaknesses:

Reading hands based on past observation (work in progress)

Betting after the flop (still totally lost)

and about 100 other things including heads up play, short table aggressiveness, getting married to hands, not being able to lay down top-pair, etc etc

[Exitonly]

Strengths:

- I'm a math guy
- Get good value out of my hands
- Steal well.

Weaknesses:

- Have an ability to make a big stack go away in matter of minutes (been getting better at that)
- Sometimes i just stop caring, only to start caring right after i pissed away chips.
- Stubborn with some hands

[chopchoi]

Strengths:

When I have a monster, I disguise it very well, and tend to get maximum value.

I am very patient and disciplined.

Once I get some chips, it is very difficult to take them from me.

Weaknesses:

I can't play well without a hand.

I'm not good at hand reading.

I often find myself getting blinded away waiting for a hand I consider playable.

Strengths:
1. I use Pokertracker religiously and know WHO I am playing against. I know not to bluff a calling station and to let a LAG player hang himself when I have a hand. I know who to steal from, and I know who to resteal from.

2. I am very good in short-stacked situations, either by me or my opponents. I get very aggressive, particularly good at browbeating opponents when I have a big stack.

3. I am good at switching gears, and love to take advantage of the weak-tight play on the bubble. I generally play to get to the final table, not to survive the bubble, unless I am VERY short-stacked. Early in a tourney, I play fairly tight, but if I haven't gotten any hands to play in awhile, I will play something weak (raise with it in CO or button), just to mix up my game. Otherwise, my big hands won't get paid off.

4. I know WHY the no-limit chapter in Super System is the best thing ever written about no-limit tournaments, although it has taken me a long time to get there. Ironically, it is one of the worst things you can read if your game is not already solid.

5. Partially as a result of that, I am good at slowing down in way ahead/way behind situations --- this is one of the biggest leaks I see from people in online play, e.g. playing their AA too fast after the flop.

6. I am good at representing hands. I will decide what hand I wish I had, making sure that it is consistent with any bids that I have already made, and then I will act consistently with that hand.

Weaknesses:

1. I am absolutely horrible at making laydowns when beat. If it were not that I know how to slow down when I am "likely" beat, this would be crippling.

2. I know not to bluff a calling station, but I still find myself doing it way too much, and then kicking myself.

3. I am very poor at making value bets on the river in late position, because I am afraid of the reraise, which because of 1) I may not be able to laydown. So I just check.

4. I cannot play two tourneys simultaneously and play a good game at both. The reason is that I am not very good at reading opponents' hands when my attention is split.

5. I look too much at tourney payouts and drool when I should be paying attention to my opponents ;-)

Nice Post Idea

Strengths:
Realistic view of luck
Big Stack Monster
Aggresiveness
I don't tilt often

Leaks:
I put it in auto-pilot too much
I'm sometimes not patient enough with a middle stack
Occasional chip spewing
I read hands well, but I could be better.

strengths:
get the most out of my strong hands
reading players
exploiting weekness

the bad:
i get caught up in hands and cant let go
give away my big stacks (become overly aggresive)
horrible tilt

[KneeCo]

Strenghts:
- I would say I can make very strong reads on the flop and after, though not so much PF.
- Great bubble play.
- Never held back by the money involved.
- Huge upside (I'm still new, but I can feel myself getting better every MTT I play and I am (re)reading all the best books on the subject).
- Ability to change gears.
- Staying unpredictable.


Leaks:
- Lack of FT experience, so am uncomfortable when there.
- Lack of time for poker, which I usually cut too much from study time rather than from play time.
- Heads-Up.
- Patience sometimes early in tournaments.
- Often too eager to push when my stack dips below the AVG.
- Following up on flop/turn bluffs in spots where I know I'm not gonna get the fold.
- Going on tilt when annoyed by stallers.

[Jbrochu]

Strengths
1) I think I play a short stack well
2) I am patient
3) I work hard to improve by reading books and reviewing hand histories
4) I pay attention to the action and try to get reads on people/put people on hands even when I'm out of the hand

Weaknesses
1) When I get a big stack I cannot take proper advantage of it
2) I play my cards much more than situations, which means I get killed at higher levels
3) I get bluffed out of pots too often
4) I sometimes go on tilt

[stokken]

Strong part

1.Math guy
2.Trust my instincts
3.Improved reads
4.Playing short to medium stacked
5.Use reads to my advantage preflopp as well as postflopp, making the play/move seem logical
6.Luring weaker hands into commiting to much of their chips

Weakness
1.Not being focused enough, my game takes invoulantary dropps
2.Accepting variance, (my coin is also skeewed, even when I am more then 50% fav with one card to come)but reckon that is due to a low number of tourneys played(less then 100), still it sux
3 Getting beat by weaker hands when I have lured all their chips into the pot as well as commiting all of mine LOL
4.Playing big stack
5. Forgetting there is a world outside of the poker one
