Biggest cash: 1.8k
Biggest leak: I went through a phase this summer where I thought I owned all poker. Now I realize I suck...I just don't have enough time to dedicate to becoming truly better at the fundamentals of the game.

My biggest leak when I first started was getting frustrated with a certain form of poker when i played/ran bad. I'd quit, a couple of times for at least a month and then switch to another form of poker. I've been concentrating on mtts for a year now and I'm seeing results. I just wish I would've stuck with it before.

My biggest leak is letting my cards dictate my aggression. How deep I go in tourneys often depends on how well I card rack.

Maybe I need to try this.

Any other pointers on loosening up late? I feel like I've been trained to not want to raise/fold 20BB stacks at all so I nit up. Then if I don't card rack then I dwindle to 11-15BBs and push/fold (probably poorly) and mostly get it in bad.

Also, since I always have that sized stack I should probably be better at this, but whenever I raise with a 16-20BB stack w/ say 10s or AK, AQ and get flatted . I seem to get stuck/not know where I am when I don't have top pair, etc.

hmm you could maybe try dropping the idea of looking for formulaic solutions and actually learning to play poker?

Are you referring to the 2:30 a.m. tournament? I won that one last November and went on a nice little run during which I made several final tables. It's a nice structure with a manageable number of players (around 150). The drawback was that I got tired of being awake until 5:30 a.m. or later.

biggest cash: 9 hundo

biggest leak: tilt If i have 5 tournies goin and i have a big stack in one tourny and get coolered i usually will bust 2 or more tournies within 5 minutes of the first one.

Also when i get a big stack and play LAG and lose a big pot i will just go on ahead and blow the rest of my stack

First leak was playing way too many hands early, and tightening up way too much late. Other, earlier leaks were things like not 3-betting light enough/not calling off 3bets light enough. Now that I'm aware of those things, I have to work on polishing them with software like PSTOVE for measuring odds needed against certain ranges etc.

Cash: 4.5k ish

Leaks: Playing cash games im not rolled for. FU moves. Calling when I know im beat just to prove im right, and the other guy is a spaz. Chat abuse of monkeys. Take away (under-rolled shots) at cash games and id be nicely in profit from poker.

Playing iPoker tournaments.

My biggest leak is spewing away my chips when I have a big stack. I have some weird sense of entitlement to every uncontested pot when I have a big stack, and it usually gets me in trouble.

Biggest MTT cash: 75k dollars, Super Tuesday.

Biggest leak:
Withdrew 70k dollars, played nl5000 came on 27k dollars, thought i was the best, end up losing a 54k dollar pot with:
99 against A A, all in on turn:
9 3 2, 3 (all in), river A.
Destroyed my TV, and went down in level.
Now i can't really make a roll, waiting for my 70k dollars, so far my "bankroll" is closed, for a good rent in a year.
Lucky there is only 2 months left.

- love rockets.
makes a rocket to 2-4000 dollars, sometimes end up loosing it, and i cannot get away from the 5 / 10 - 10 / 20 blinds, only thinking about getting my money back. :P
