What is normally played in your meta? And out of those which do you feel like you have a hard time winning?

I recommend {Thoughtseize} and {Torpor Orb} for sure. {Whipflare} and {Dismember} could also be pretty sweet. Ah yeah! Also {Spellskite}! That card will tear up Bogle if you see it, it's also good against Twin.

{W}{G} or bant enchantment based decks that use low costing hexproof cards like {slippery bogle}. Also known as boglechantment or bantchantments.

Imthelolrus posted a very good bogle deck in modern a while ago. If you are interested in the list I could try and find it and bump it up for you.

I have had some people tell me to put in torpor orb, why is that? What makes it so good?

Normally it is like some control, jund, pod and maybe some tron.

It completely stops Enters the battlefield triggers. That is the entire basis of the combos behind Pod and Twin, infinitely abuse ETBs (Enters the battlefield triggers) to just win the game. Both decks can still win without the combos, but they definitely help. Pod is quite a lot more dangerous without the combo than Twin though. It's also just decent against any decks that run ETBs though. Affinity has little to none, so no downside there.

Cool man thanks for the info. I'll try to pick one of those up.
