| What is your biggest leak? This may help us all recognize our leaks and maybe plug them. My biggest leak by far is over-valuing TPTK and over pairs to the board in the face of raises on the flop and turn. When I now see raises from tight players on a wet board, instead of losing untold BBs I swallow my pride bite the bullet and fold my big pairs, two pairs and sometimes even sets. |

| My biggest leak is .....Poker . My BR would be great if I just never played . Seriously, I think my biggest leak is playing too nitty and being too predictable. A certain degree of nittiness is fine, especially at the lower levels of the micros. But as you move up that style becomes more easily exploitable. I'm at 25nl now, and I'm just starting to run into enough observant players to realize I need to open-up my game. The process of moving from nit to TAG, however, is much more easily said than done . |

Make sure no loose players are sitting on your left especially calling stations, maniacs and LAGs, leave table if you are getting consistently raised from the left. Loose passive players on your left are optimal as you can be aggressive and raise from the high-jack cut-off and big blind positons. Be inclined to believe tight passive players if they re-raise you. If your range is nitty then you probably begin ahead of the LAGs, but be prepared for these players to suck out on you. The calling stations on your left kill your bluffing range as the tend to call anything whereas the tight passives will believe and fold. Having the stations and LAGS on your right enables you to evaluate in advance any of their moves. ![]() |

| we all have leaks in the games we play in. Our leaks are only as bad the players which do not pay attention to what you will do in situations. Leaks online are very difficult to do because the only tells yo have is the quick call and hopefully see what the he calls raises or pushes with at the end of the hand. Live poker you can get a little better read on apponites as they squirm in there seats. Just because you have the chip leader call in an online game does not mean he does not know he lost he may be checking your hand requirments to follow up on future play aginst u. |

Anyway my biggest leak is not believing opponents bets and raises. I always think I'm ahead and every1 else has nothing and they are just bluffing at the pot. |

| Another big one that tends to drain $s over-valuing JJ when there has been action. An opponent raising pre-flop has you dominated with QQ, KK, AA and is nearly evens with AK and AQ. They don't usually raise for the love of it. So JJ at best is a just see flop hand from me now on, and when there is flop action on a wet board I'm going to fold. I'm shifting more to getting in cheap with connected hands and taking down players who fall in love with there big broadways and pairs pre-flop. The AA KK type hands have a tendency to win small because nobody has a hand or die big when the chaser grabs you by the nuts and twists. |

On a dry board I try and induce a bluff or if it is semi wet shut out the draws. |

| re: What is your biggest leak? poker Pocket pairs can be over-rated you only have to outs to players who have over cards and those on a draw have many more outs and it costs you to give them bad odds to draw at. My new years resolution on a wet board is to fold JJ and below to flop aggression when I don't make a set. On cards chat there is some good advice on playing pocket pairs. KC's blog is good http://kingcurtisblog.blogspot.com/ |

| My biggest leak is thinking that my opponnets bluff too much. So i call sometimes in tough positions based on what my opponent played prelop just to see that he actually had a hand. What i mean is that i am weak against opponents that call 3 bets with suited cards or small pairs and hit a lot more than the normal odds at one momment . Also my second leak is trying to bluff smart players on dry boards. I do not know how they see through but they call with junk and bust me (Or they are not as smart as i think they are) |

| I think i give too much credit to AQ like when people are raising in early position im always happy to play these against them and i get into lots of trouble, but then again should i be folding AQ when i have position to an initial raiser? maybe i just need to slow down post flop and learn to fold it there. |

| I have difficulties playing a micro SNG or MTT after having played a CC game before. I'm doing considerably better in CC games which is weird since the level of play is mostly far better. Or maybe the CC members just give me too much credit ??? |
