-Playing overly aggressive once my chip stack doubles or tripples.. I find myself trying to push much harder when I double or tripple up my buy-in. Then I will slowly dwindle down to my original buy-in at which time I start playing my normal tightness again and my stack will go back up. If I could lay off the aggressiveness when I was ahead I could probably make more in a sitting.
-Overlooking straights and flush's when I have top two pair. I find it very hard for myself even if I'm not pot committed to fold to bets when I flop top two pair even when I KNOW they are on a straight draw or flush draw. Then when they do hit the flush or straight for some reason I find myself paying to see if it was a bluff when I know it wasn't. There are tooo many chasers online. Trying to bet out the straight/flush draw just doesn't seem to work online no matter if I'm overbetting the pot.
-Having a read on someone but doubting my own belief. Sometimes on both ends. I often find myself calling with middle pair even though I do read my opponent for having top pair and on the other side I often fold to big bets even though I'm reading my opponent on a bluff. This is only online. I find it hard to read certain players and I think sometimes that scares me into the fold even though I feel my top pair may win.
These are the things I'm working on right now.
