24 tabling is also a leak. That [censored] is hard in cash games.

slowplaying

Re: Leak, leak, leak! What\'s your leak?
 

Slowplaying monsters and going broke with what I think is a monster in a limped pot where someone has the real monster.

Oh and underestimating other people's stupidity: "He couldn't have called 20 dollars preflop with 2/4 could he have?"

The one rule I find myself repeating the most is don't go broke in unraised pots.

I always tell myself that too, but it's so hard to lay down two pair or trips in a pot against a donkey. I just hear a cash register in the back of my head instead of the warning lights.

sticking around too long with overs, especially AK.

So are you going broke because you are slowplaying and then playing it big, or are you going broke because others are "forcing" you to put a lot of money in the pot (by, e.g., going all-in at some point in the hand)?

Sometimes it's out of your hands, but you've just got to try to play small ball (but for value) in those situations.

For instance last tuesday I was playing live and the game died down unfortunately. We were only four handed and I had 4/8 in the small blind. I called, and the flop came 4/8/J. I bet the pot, 8 dollars, the BB who was a donkey called. The turn was a Q, I bet 24 dollars, and he called. River was an A, rainbow board. I bet $50 and he raised to $150, I figured there was no way someone was checking an ace preflop and this guy likes to play his hands pretty straight forwards. I called and he had J/A, he was convinced he was slowplaying me the entire time, and he's so easy to read that this should have been an easy lay down on the river but I just couldn't drop 2 pair 4 handed.

Playing too passively.
Paying off when I shouldn't.
Not value-betting enough.
Playing on autopilot.
