Default Leak, leak, leak! What\'s your leak?

I'm wondering what leaks you've identified in your game that after plugging them have caused improvement in your play. I seem to have a never ending list of them for myself...

Playing A2s-ATs in early position...limp, ugh!

Calling in SB with almost anything...serious $$$ down tubes.

Not paying enough attention to stats of opponents and calling down light...sometimes, very light.

Not identifying tilt in even it's mildest forms...De-Nile is not just a river in Egypt...

Playing while drinking.

Playing while angry about something not poker related. My new rule, "Play happy or don't play at all."

And more...

How about you?

- Not raising enough in LP
- Raising too much in MP, HJ-1 is not the button
- Trying too hard to outplay people (still working on this)
- stupid shoves, he's weak there, he can never call this!
- limp/calling
- AQo

I do the whole passive when tired/drunk thing too. I find I play my best when I'm feeling aggressive, alert, hopped up on caffeine, etc.

Lack of aggression on turn and river--always seeing scare cards as scary rather than as opportunity

Calling big stacks light against loose-passive passive types, especially if I'm convinced that "they couldn't possibly have luck-boxed the river yet again..." How about a rule: No calling off >50BB without better than TPTK?

Being too passive on the river

Trying to outplay people at micro limit instead of VB'ing them to death

Taking medium strength hands too far against players that don't fold

suited connectors

- Being really annoyed by min-raises and bets that are WAY smaller than the pot. The min-raises I've found can be pushed around with a re-raise, but not so much the underbets on the river.
- I think it's safe to say that not using poker tracker and a HUD was a leak that I've now remedied. I've always multitabled, but used to never be able to keep track of players, thus, none of my moves were read/stat dependent.
- Playing unsuited connectors.
- Ignoring stack sizes until it's too late.
