Poker Mistake

TravelerLloyd · Jun 15, 2019

It took me forever to figure it out. I can't loose what I don't put in the middle.

I have found a leak of raising my mediocre hands to much and to high.

I have seen this costs me almost an entire buy-in after a couple of months or less.

I have to stop that. I would be further ahead.

Also I need to value bet more. That to is costing me half a buy in or more in less than two months.

Improving my game where I see the issues after researching.

How did you discover your leaks? Self aware or?

It is good that you realize this. Good luck at the tables.

Hi there,

Based on what you are saying, I expect to see another post from you in a few months which may go;

"I realized a leak in my game. I am playing too many mediocre hands that I should fold"

Allow me to inject a word of caution - I know that it hurts when you see your hole cards hit a full house or a set from the muck and you did not limp in or call a small bet. However, it will pay off in the long run if you tighten up and play premium hands in early position or connected and suited hands in middle and late position.

I learnt this the hard way and would like to help you along your learning curve

All the best and see you at the table.

The fact that you think about your mistakes is the first step in your learning process. Courage and good luck, that the game is improved with own observations that you make, and later modififaciones base to the experience that you acquire.

Im curious too. How did you come to these conclusions? Figuring how much in buyins over months time sounds like a complicated computer program.

It's good that you understand your mistakes - this is the first step to improving your game.

I was using a software program, and the I watched how I play and I observed why I didn't make much money in the session and it showed I was playing a LAG style in that session and raising with my medium hands

But to say this, I did the same thing last night, I guess that's becoming my style, and I did pretty good tripled my money. So just like they say you have to find a game where your style will pay off, because if two or three come into the game they can stop it from working. But keep those players that fit it and you can run the table.

I even played A2s and won an all in, but I knew they guy wouldn't lay down AA and no fourth suite came, I hit my card on the turn, I guess he thought I was bluffing and when the table saw that they all seem to be scared because they couldn't tell what I was holding.

Then when they thought I had nothing I would have trips or two pairs, it was a good night session.

What software program do you use?

Interesting thread. I think your point about value betting is a good one. I'm glad your seeing positive results. That's encouraging.

For a while, I would overplay any attractive looking hand post flop if I didn't connect. Instead of admitting defeat, I would bet, be called, checked into, raise and get stacked. I have learned that sometimes, even if I might be ahead, folding is the best thing to do in the long run.

fold

my biggest mistake is not to fold AA or KK when i know i am beat! or QQ, JJ, 10 10 with an overcard on the flop just drop it not worth keep paying....

RagNar87 · Jun 20, 2019

my biggest mistake is i undermine the adversaries and i dont trusst they have a made hand and they bluffing , and i reraise the pot size and i loose , this happens most on late games when my mind is retarded and tired

curiplop · Jun 20, 2019

for that there is the range of hands according to position and number of blinds, I think your study should start at that point, lifting marginal hands makes you a weak player and out of position is worse

I used to raise the stakes on good hands QQ KK JJ AK AA and I thought that these cards are super and I will always win, but this was an error for me in the game, now I play premium high cards very carefully and sometimes even very aggressively - to me other players in the hands could not interrupt with small cards, now I have fewer mistakes in the game, I wish you good luck so that you find and correct your mistakes in the game and win

for me is my hugest leak
try a semi-bluff & no give it up when get reraised

for those of you familiar with me and demolish me often, take my chips... i now working hard on that leak
