I know this is a leak. I know I need to stop. Why can't I stop myself from betting when I perceive weakness? Im such a fish

However, it's only a problem when I play online.

if you focus exclusively on playing against yourself in poker, you will naturally get better.

Is it bad to bet when you percieve weakness? You should of course consider other factors like the equity of your hand, but if villain appears weak it's surely a good thing to exploit?

Or is the problem that you are wrong a lot and villain is not weak at all?

If its only a problem online then its likely the time you take to make the decision. Force yourself to take a few seconds to think before you allow yourself to bet in these situations.
