My bigest leak
 

I am wondering if anyone else using PT on micro limits has a leak in their BB like I do? I am also lousing $ in my small blind but that is not as large. I have over 1000 hands so far that I have tracked on .5/1 tables on PP and am doing well in all other positions.
Thanks

All of us lose money from the blinds. You are being forced to put money in the pot with a random hand. You can't overcome that (perhaps you can over a sample size as small as yours though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]).

Your never going to over overcome it.

On the same note, don't use 1000 hands as a judge of anything. The minimum we use around here is 10K, and 50K is often preferred.

Even over a larger sample..at 10k hands I was in the green in both blinds. At 20k they were more normalized.

The objective from the blinds is to lose as little as possible overall. I've read that a reasonable loss rate for BB (in bb/hand) is anything less than 2x your most profitable winning position. I don't know where this particular stat begins to converge but if yours is well outside that you might want to investigate further (i.e., maybe it hasn't begun to converge, maybe you really have a problem, etc.).

Everyone loses from the blinds. Don't worry about it.

As you get more experience you can work to minimise this loss, but if you're at the early stage of your career, you've got much better things to be working on than your win rate in the blinds.

If you can win money from the blinds, this game would be completely flawed, as it would mean you can win playing any two cards...

If this is your biggest leak, then you're the best player in the history of the game of poker.
