Default Re: The biggest leak ?

The correct answer is not listed. It is "preflop mistakes". This is a wide range of mistakes that includes things like coldcalling when you should 3 bet or fold, and probably the biggest in my mind, limping / openlimping / overlimping when you should raise (almost always too passive) or fold (sometimes too loose). I'm pretty sure Ed Miller has said preflop mistakes almost always cost the most.

i'm with donkey. i checked overcards because i'm aggressive preflop with them and get tied to the pot, and keeping thinking "if that A comes, my kicker is good" so i call all the way down.

but, i know SSH says to get an basica understanding of preflop, but move on to postflop and come back later, but i find that if i don't know how to play my hand preflop, i just get lost postflop and end up floundering with all kinds of errors.

so, while i'm reading the postflop section, i'm always keeping logs of my preflop play and comparing.
