Re: Help me with a big leak in my game
Numero Uno...there is a difference between trips and a set. A set is when you hold a pocket pair, say 88 and a third 8 hits.
Trips is when you hold say, AK, and KKX comes on the board.
A set is a better hand to hold because it is more disguised and leaves more room for improvement as such.
There is no way to just plug a leak like getting beat by 2 pair by a set or set over set. It is just playing and learning. You will slowly develop a sense of when to slow down and proceed a little more cautiously.
If you think you may be beat by a set or something higher, or you are getting reraised a lot with a hand, just slow down. Maybe call it down rather than raising.
Another thing you want to do is learn to use position. A hand like 66 may be great to raise with from the button in an unraised pot, but from UTG you are probably going to fold it or limp in.
