Default Re: How to stop Overplaying TPTK?

[ QUOTE ]
Save your big pots for your big hands. Protect two pair and trips and a set. Protect non-nut flushes and weaker straights. Play TPTK with finesse. If you are against TPWK, you are not going to get a whole lot from him so no need to hammer away. He will be happy calling a 1/2 pot bet once and checking the river and so should you.

Yes, you will lose to good draws once and awhile. But on the river, if you did your pot control job properly, then the bet you will be calling won't be a large one.

I am definitely going to take this advice to heart.

I thought by potting my tptk hands I was denying draws the odds, and protecting my hand.

However, I just reviewed my first 4k hands in PTracker, and found that TPTK is my biggest leak. Did I say leak? It's more like Niagra Falls. I've doubled my buyin since playing, but in that time I've lost a full buyin to TPTK errors. Ugh.

Thanks for the advice.
