Default Re: Post a common leak and how to fix or take advantage of it (CASH/TR

My #1 leak is impatience. The action-junkie devil inside will sit still and play nice for a while, but, especially if i go card-dead in the 25/50 level, he'll come out and convince me that the other guy has been betting far too much and is clearly bluffing this time, just go AI with ATC.

I think the cure is discipline. And by that I mean mental discipline. I know when I get 'the urge' - I can sense it coming, but I'm not always able to stop it.

Two things that have really helped me begin to cure myself of my action addiction:
1: narrating out loud what I'm doing and why, which forces me to think through decisions instead of gut-punching with a CRAI.
2: trying to review each match immediately after I play it. if i force myself to go through and analyze decisions and what-ifs and play with pokerstove and math, the action-junkie gets scared and goes back into his corner.

FWIW
