I'm too curious. I usually think they have a certain hand and I call trying to see if they really have it. Sometimes, I call and just hope they're bluffing. Unfortunately, my instincts are usually right, but I'm always going against them.

Same with me.

Cant lay down pocket pair when overcards come on the flop aswell.

My biggest leak is that I'm a bit too scared to be wrong.

Biggest Leak? How about 2 and a "need to work on"?

My starting hand selection is too tight in terms of limping and raising. But online I have SSHE's starting hand reccomendations in front of me to double check myself. That is starting to help a bit.

I sometimes stay in pots that I shouldn't. Especially a split pair of aces. That has cost me a lot.

And the "need to work on" is following the action better,both when I'm in the hand and not. I need to work on trying to read the players. Hey, that would help the previous leak!

I guess it's pretty normal beginner stuff.

Roulette, Craps, Black Jack

I was playing $2-$5 limit HE in Wendover NV a couple of weeks ago and crushed the game for 200 big bets in the course of 27 hours. Right after my session I decided to hit the craps table at about 8am. I preceded to loose $100 every 15 minutes until I had nothing left but a half pack of cigarettes and some lose change.

Leaky leaky……….

I guess that's mine. I've made some insane bluffs. It comes from playing tournaments where people are less likely to pursue a small edge against you. But I've also won my fair share of cash with bold bluffs, so I'll be more specific: Know who the goshdarnidiotcallingstation is and DON'T bluff him. You know the idiot will call you down with middle pair and take the pot.
