My biggest leak is TILT.

Second biggest is not recognizing when someone has a set.


Sets KILL ME.

My biggest leak is that I don't know where my biggest leak is. I am doing everything pretty much like I am supposed to do, but the expectation refuses to realize itsself. I am constantly losing with the better hand and it's not even selective awareness, I can prove it with data and the sample is getting bigger and bigger every day.

My $WSD dropped from 57% to 48% within a few days because of sessions where I couldn't win a single pot, regardless if I flopped a set, a straight or the nut flush. My score with aces is 53% for overall negative EV and I cannot always throw them away only because a king or a jack shows up on the river.

Variance is my enemy and I have no idea how to deal with it, because protecting my hands doesn't work if I am the one who gets constantly re-raised from pre-flop to the river.

So far my NL tries where I thought I could protect my hands have been successful in theory, but unsuccessful in practive. Got stacked with trips, top-pair + nut flush and finally today with QQ vs. JJ on a x-J-x flop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have fixed several leaks in my game. I tilt less now, I have better game selection, and I'm getting better about not playing when I'm tired which for me is the death card.

I continue to fight letting variance get to my head. If you want to call it tilt, I guess it's okay but I'd describe it similar to depression.

I do too many other things while I am playing poker.

My win rate would probably double if I stopped adding TV, web browser, instant messaging, e-mail, phone and real life conversation to my online poker tables.

Of course if I cut all that out, I wouldn't want to play online poker nearly as much.

Double ditto!

I don't have PT and PAHUD. And I play when I'm real tired. I look people up a lot.

Playing for too long a period of time. Playing tired. Tilting after losing to beats or (especially) to cooler hands. For some reason, coolers p*ss me off way more than beats. Beats anger me for a short period of time, but I can quickly get past it and be happy that I got my money in good. Coolers just drive me insane and often tend to affect my play in a negative way for a while after the hand.

Tilting (with inverse tilt or beat tilt or tired tilt or tilt-o-rama tilt) is without question my biggest leak.

A related leak is the "I can beat him" syndrome - I see a sharp player, and I try to out play him. And lose.


A final leak is semibluffing into strength I don't realize till it's too late...
