leaks in your game

[Shizzle12345]

heya, You always hear, 'i lost $$$ and i still had some major leaks in my game'. So I wondered what are the biggest subtle leaks? like the top 10 leaks a breaking even player or slightly winning player can have. Or what are leaks u recently discovered (when you actually thought u were pretty good).

thinking you ARE really good.

LOL, I agree with that. But sincerely, my largest weakness is game selection online. I have played for a bit, but really have a hard time understanding it (I get the basic idea, but that keeps me breaking even).

Calling when you should fold.
Folding when you should call.
Calling when you should raise.
Raising when you should call or fold.

Add table and seat selection. Yeah, that´s life.

It kind of depends on what game you play, but the most general are probably:
Not value betting enough
Not quitting when you are in a bad game (related to game selection)
Not paying attention (i.e. not getting reads)
Slowplaying your big hands too much
Not practicing bankroll management

In addition the above leaks,

Forgetting about the AG in TAG.
Not trusting reads.

The biggest leak for good but not excellent players is often not using postion well. You should be a good deal looser on the button/CO and get progressively tighter as you play UTG.

What I mean is UTG in a full right game you might only play 88+, AJs+. But on the button and it's folded to you I'm often raising anything suited, anything connected, any pair, broadway, etc.

i def agree with this, too many people wont change their games at all or work on things cuz they think they are already too good

My biggest leak is that im too loose OOP i guess. When i see 78s UTG i jsut raise it if i know the table is mostly bad players. (6max)

not playing really tight in the blinds is a large LEAK"
