Identify your leaks

Just thought this would be a productive thread for all of us to put out there areas of our game we think could use some work. Mods if you think this thread is lame/useless feel free to lock. I will begin:

I call to much pre flop - need to get better at raising or folding, esp against laggy opponents with a wide open range.

I don't double barrel enough, I cbet and then check fold turn way too often.

I'm too results oriented.

I don't notice quick enough when I'm tilting/playing bad in general.

Flame away on yourselves.

hey its my leaks.

[Student Caine]

1. I do not value bet enough (both quantity and size).

2. I do not fire the second barrel enough when my table image is strong.

3. I fire the second barrel way too much when my table image is weak.

4. I go on tilt if I have an extended run of really bad cards (i.e., the fold-a-thon), because I begin to panic if I see my stack slowly melting away at a table.

5. I am too results oriented.

6. I bluff at 10NL, which works like never.

7. If I am running poorly I am so paranoid I am going to lose more than I start folding way too much.

8. If I am running well, I fear that a big loss is going to take it all away so I start playing weak-tight.

9. I have a hard time stopping or getting up from a losing session (i.e., I want to win it all back) - see "Results Oriented" above. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

10. While I do a good job evaluating tables before I sit down, I do not do a good job re-evaluating them to determine when the game has gotten too tight/tough.

11. I try to setmine with small pocket pairs UTG.

I'm obsessed with my current session stats while playing which doesn't help with staying focused as I switch between pokertracker and the tables.

I go on winners tilt when I get up like 2 BI and stop playing.
I don't play enough hands per month
I double up short stacks too much

[skoal2k4]

I have no idea when my overpair or AK (when I flop TPTK) is beaten. I lose so much money because of this

I take shots at a higher level sooner than I know I should
