Hey, I need a favor guys.

I'm doing a new video series for pokerstrategy on leak buster. One of the videos I'm going to be doing is on top common critical leaks. I'd like to verify what you're seeing on your end with leak buster as far as the critical leaks, and make sure I'm addressing all of the most common for different stake levels.

If you can post a screenshot, or just type them out for me that would be great! I want to make sure I'm covering all angles on this and make it as thorough as possible. Thanks.

just ran it for my hands on Pokerstars 6Max, Pity it doesnt let you copy and paste the text.
I had 6 Critical Leaks for last 38K hands, although HEM says I have 46K

rhombus · Oct 8, 2014

PS Does it seem right to have 41 Leaks and 28 Potential Leaks and get B+
I know its only a smal sample.

Jsut ran it again for the hands since I started playing again Since July and just had 3 critical

and now have 32 Leaks 39 potential and A-

found this hand so confusing almost folded but curiosity got the better of me. Was it a good call??

Couldnt work out what he had QQ raises preflop I had a T so unlikely TT so that leaves KJ as a big part of his range ewspecially as he seemed passive but started donking out

Thank you... and keep posting these guys. If you don't want to publicly post it for any reason, please PM me. I need as much help as I can get here.

FYI, sample size will be different because of filtering. Leak buster is only looking for hands that have 5-6 players as 6-max. Anything less then that and it will ignore. Set a filter in HM2 and they will match up.

JCgrind · Oct 9, 2014

crit leaks over last 50k hands:
- triple too much
- Ato-AKo / AQs-AKs squeeze from SB
- over iso'ing limpers from position w marginals
- rivercall efficiency (jokes suboptimal)

John A · Oct 9, 2014

Thank you... keep them coming. I need as much info as possible. This will give you a chance to review your game, which is never bad. Don't be shy!

I'm having a pretty brutal 8bi downswing right now at 5c/10c. I think I really need have my game examined or examine my game and make some serious changes. I have 6k hands in Hem2.

Hands from tonight, I'm wondering whats the best way to extract value with overpair on the flop and also what if Ace or overcard appears on turn or river??

Hand 1 Should I have bet 1/2 on river and folded to a Raise

Rhoms 1st hand

When I looked at the first hand it looks like a simple float by the button. He isn't going to have that strong a calling range here.
Lets give him a 20% calling range.
In which case the flop bet looks very good,
Bearing in mind he just calls I think we can halve his range to about top 10%. You are still a slight equity favourite and he still has a lot of air high card combos.
We would be calling that flop with 76s 77 88 99 any two spades would we not...
If he is going to float the turn make it expensive.
The ace swings the equity in his favour but it is still a significant scare card for him as it hits your perceived range as the raiser .
Half pot OTR might make him fold medium to high pairs.

Why would you want him to fold medium to high pairs though? I'm not sure about that range (fyi, it's easier to just click export to forum format in the ace poker drills equity calculator). Easier on your and easier for us to see the range better.

however above equity on river - Villain becomes favourite when I have exactly TT If I had 20% Raising range (I was playing 26/20). It becomes a flip on the River. So is it still Check Fold(dep on size) or Bet/Fold

How are you ranging him there on the button pre and after the flop?
Are u betting on the river or checking it down?
I thought there might still be value from mid pairs lower than ours.
