*Official* Leak Exploitation Thread

[Jman28]

Here's the idea. I will start by listing a leak, mistake, or maybe even a tendancy. The next person quotes it in their post and describes how to exploit it. Then they list a new leak, mistake, or tendancy. And so on.

Also, feel free to argue if you disagree with someone's strategy against a particular leak. It could generate some good discussion. Be as specific as you want with both the leaks and the strategy.

Example taken from TOP: "Mistake-Rarely folds a fair hand on any round. Strategy-Don't slowplay. Bet your decent hands for value."

So, I'll start with the following mistake:

Plays WAY too loose/passive preflop (like 65/10 in 6max), but is an excellent hand reader and post flop player.

(Assume 100BB stacks)

Pump your good hands more preflop. See more showdowns.

Mistake: Floats the flop too much.

raise more than usual pre to isolate, take caution after flop with your big hands with obvious str8/flushes showing.






opponent plays too tight, but sometimes will call and then "stick it out" because he thinks you keep betting with air to take down a pot.

edit: lol i suppose this is floating the flop. geez 2 minutes apart too.

Fire more second barrels and check/raise the turn with real hands.


Mistake: re-raises too often preflop

Fire a lot of second barrells. Check/raise on the turn a lot. Don't CB as much.

Mistake: Has a hard on for squeeze plays.

Is poor bankroll management considered a leak??!

If so, my leak:

Poor BR management
Strategy: dont play until you have 30 buy ins!

Open your 4-betting range.

Check/raise a lot of flops when you decide to just call.

Mistake: Calls out of the blinds too much.

Call on the SB with big hands when he is on the BB and the button has raised. Call on the button when the CO has raised and he is in the blinds. Call lighter or re-raise with JJ, TT, 99, AK PF from the Button when he squeezes out of the BB.

Leak - raises too much out of the blinds when limped around.
