What holds you back the most?
Success in SnGs requires technical profeciency, but also requires psychological strength. What do you think holds you back the most: Weakness in the technical aspects of the game or psychological 'problems'?

Re: What holds you back the most?
I voted psychological. While I am not world class on the technical aspects of poker or tournies by any means I lose more money due to psychological 'blunders' (making the wrong play even when I know the right one) than technical mistakes.
To me it is a big problem becuase the technical parts are easier to learn. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: What holds you back the most?
I sometimes feel guilty for not feeling almost at all bad when I lose >10 buy-ins in a session. I think to myself: "am I taking this too lightly? Is this happy-go-lucky attitude dangerous or something?" But I guess I'm just lucky for not being apt to tilt or something. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
I just don't get people who go on tilt and feel bad over short-term results. I haven't had THAT bad downswings yet though.. Or maybe I have, I just haven't kept track of them.

Re: What holds you back the most?
Definitely technical. I'm getting there (especially after spending the morning fiddling with SNGPT, who knew I was pissing so much money away with KQo?) but I still feel lost a lot of the time. Psychologically, I'm a little zen butterfly.

Re: What holds you back the most?
I do have a tendancy of getting upset when a known bad player makes a huge mistake, but gets lucky. It's something I am working on. Definitely psychological.
