I’m trying to be more honest with myself about my weak spots. For me, it’s calling too light on the river when I “don’t want to believe” the villain. What would you say is your biggest leak at the moment?

It’s better to be careful. When you’re tired, you shouldn’t play

My biggest leak right now is losing back part of my MTT profits after a good run. Especially when I make a deep run and finish around 6th or 7th — just short of the big money — I tend to keep playing instead of taking a break. Emotionally, it feels like I need to “make up for it,” but that mindset usually costs me some of the winnings. I’m working on better emotional control and knowing when to stop after those close-but-not-quite results.

Yes, I call my opponents' raises on the board too often. This is a problem I am trying to deal with, but I cannot always control it. I definitely feel that I am not getting much aggressive play against me, as players (especially in our Community) have already learned my style. :D

If I had to name mine, it’d probably be playing marginal spots, trying to out level opponents who aren’t even thinking on that level.
Sometimes I’ll go for a creative bluff or tricky line when a simple, solid play would’ve done the job.
It’s that urge to make something happen instead of just letting the math and fundamentals do the work.

I need to stop playing soft when it's close to the money rather than go for the win!

Right now my biggest leak is still getting too curious in spots where I know I should fold. Sometimes I convince myself to “see one more card” or make a hero call when the story clearly says I’m beat. It doesn’t happen all the time anymore, but when it does, it costs more than it should.
I’m working on tightening up those marginal calls and trusting my reads instead of hoping for the best.

I need to be regulate my efficiency.
Sometimes I just dont lose .
Playing against bot rings somehow got me banned from America's Cardroom and now I got banned from Chainpoker. I took .2 usdt and turned it into 16 $ in 4 hours against the bots..
Probably doesn't help my case that I make poker hand decisions in 0.1 seconds everytime and win lol

My biggest leak right now is calling too light in tough spots. Sometimes curiosity costs me chips. I'm working on folding more disciplined when ranges clearly beat me.
