Everyone finds holes in their games; what have been your biggest fixes?

Everything lol From preflop raise %, to VIP. Right now I'm working on trying to increase my went to showdown % becuase thats too low and my won at showdown is too high.

I can now leave the game as soon as I get tired. The very moment that I know I'm tired and I don't even wait until it's my blind.

This February I logged 23k hands and found myself down 62BB on raked hands yet up 125 BB overall. My VPIP/PFR was 13.6/9.9 which didn't seem too far out of my ordinary trends for $3/6. I picked up SSHE again and found my preflop play was just awful.

Preflop arguments are generally pretty silly, but reevalating my preflop has done wonders since. I've logged 10k since and have found myself crushing the game and I credit it all to preflop adjustments. It's nice being ahead in both raked and unraked hands (mainly steal attempts combined with blind defense).

I know it's a small sample size and I'll probably here it many times in this post, but since reevaluating my preflop play i'm a 15/9.9 with a winrate at 2.8 BB/100.

Another recent improvement was logging 2K hands at $2/4 six max. It may have been the cause of my full game preflop errors, but has done wonders for blind stealing and defending.

We all have holes in our game but if you are into big fixes that might be your biggest hole [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

examining flop texture and how it relates to opponents hands was my single biggest improvement.

In order of discovery?

1. Play less hands
2. The value of pre-flop aggression
3. Realizing why cold-calling is stupid
4. Recognizing differences in player styles
5. Value of position especially against specific styles
6. I don't always have to continuation bet
7. A bad seat is a bad night
8. Draws are profitable when played well
9. Combining 5, 7, 8 can make #1 not so strict
10. Getting another bet on the river is worth 50 hands.

Probably the biggest difference is #7. And the one that is easiest to fix with absolutely no skill.

Loser,

I don't understand why you're bothering to distinguish your winrate between raked and unraked hands. Why does it matter whether the pot was raked or not?
