Default Re: My biggest leak -Why do I allways make the same mistake, AHHHHHHHH

first hand why the hell are you overbetting the pot on the driest flop ever? bet 1/2 the pot. even if he is a maniac, when he check-raises 2 people on boards like this it usually means they have you beat. you have to think in terms of relative hand strength when you are playing these kind of maniacs. most maniacs have decent idea not to attempt bluffs in spots like hand 1.

what does your turn allin accomplish? it will let him get away from his "bluff" and call you with better hands. again, the board is dry so if you really think your hand is good, there is no need to raise him in this spot, rather call and call again on river because that line will entice the maniac to make most mistakes.

in hand 2 I don't know what to say..the flop call is soo bad you are drawing to 1 card straight oop with thin implied odds because it will be really obvious that you have a straight when it hits, though I think you'd stack them with your nut straight if the K hits, It's a pretty bad call.
