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

Slowplaying monsters and going broke with what I think is a monster in a limped pot where someone has the real monster.

The one rule I find myself repeating the most is don't go broke in unraised pots.

I always tell myself that too, but it's so hard to lay down two pair or trips in a pot against a donkey. I just hear a cash register in the back of my head instead of the warning lights.

So are you going broke because you are slowplaying and then playing it big, or are you going broke because others are "forcing" you to put a lot of money in the pot (by, e.g., going all-in at some point in the hand)?

Sometimes it's out of your hands, but you've just got to try to play small ball (but for value) in those situations.

For instance last tuesday I was playing live and the game died down unfortunately. We were only four handed and I had 4/8 in the small blind. I called, and the flop came 4/8/J. I bet the pot, 8 dollars, the BB who was a donkey called. The turn was a Q, I bet 24 dollars, and he called. River was an A, rainbow board. I bet $50 and he raised to $150, I figured there was no way someone was checking an ace preflop and this guy likes to play his hands pretty straight forwards. I called and he had J/A, he was convinced he was slowplaying me the entire time, and he's so easy to read that this should have been an easy lay down on the river but I just couldn't drop 2 pair 4 handed.

playing when i'm not concentrating or being serious and playing instead of doing work makes me play bad

I try and to make proper sessons and stick to them so that i'm always playing when I am 100%

bluffing too much

calling 3 bets really light cause "Ill outplay these nits on the flop"

playing in crappy games

playing stoned

Tilting......thought this was gone until October came around and poker stars decided to stick it to me long time

Calling 3 bets light OOP, IN pos.

Paying people off in pots I know im beat - this is a big leak i think i have

[Sounded Simple]

Recently solved:
- Calling raises with Low-medium PP without checking that I have implied odds (i.e. big stacks who get it in light)

Still a problem:
- Tilt tilt tilt. Seriously I have to stop playing when I can actually feel the anger taking over.
- Acting too fast online.
- Not firing 2nd barrel then being shown bottom pair at showdown.

Calling down light to tricky players.

Anyway, calling down light to tricky players.
