Which ones are those for you, and how do you manage them?
For example, I really dislike playing positions that require me to grab at least a pawn in order to offset a positional perk I find uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be an actual poisoned pawn variation, but something like having to take the b7-pawn with my Queen as White in order to take advantage of the fact that Black played ...Bf5 (which I hate), because there are many ways my Queen can be chased away, so I have to be especially tactically aware to keep a better position.
On the other hand, if I'm playing the same position from the Black side, I still hate it, because the abundance of options intimidates me once again, and also, I know that I'm worse and that my opponent could outmemorise me to victory.
