Jman, there are some pretty good ones here. One suggest would be to make a top 5 or top 10 list and explain each one. Obviously having an intro and a summary paragraph.

Not properly thinking through hands.
Use the example of that hand at the Wynn between Older guy aka OG and some guy aka SG. Make sure to include S3's reaction.

Jman,

Why are you writing articles for Bluff magazine?

[ QUOTE ]
Bad players think only about their own two cards. Better players think about their own, as well as others. Good players begin putting ranges on players. The best players think of not only what they are holding and what thier opponent can be holding, but also how they would play the other hands in their range at that given situation. I would think that many MSNL players analyze hands too much on an "in a vacuum" basis, instead of thinking of how their play meshes into their overall strategy to avoid being easily exploitable.

I like this one, but only if you don't take it too far. I mean, the unexploitable line is not always the best, especially against weaker players. Also, one thing about being exploitable. I have noticed a lot of MSNL players will make really big value bets when they have a monster hand but never on a bluff. This is a really funny leak to me that I have noticed in a lot of people. I mean it works on retards, but against other good players this is a huge tell.

Thanks guys.

I had too much to say, so I wrote the first half of a 2 parter.

The first article is mostly focused on admitting you have leaks, how to identify them, and the explanation of a couple common ones.

The 2nd part will consist of a lot more examples, many from this thread. Thanks again.
