Default Re: Leak #1 Overcards.

When I first started playing limit hold'em it was playing 1-3 and 3/6 at Turning Stone.

A dealer there named "Walter" had a really bad habit of critiquing people's play during his downs. But, then again, he also was hilarious and a competent dealer.

He once made the following comment to me during a game:

"You're style's never going to win at this level. You can't just keep firing away with AK if you don't hit anything on the flop."

Having read some books and thinking I was good I thought "you don't know what you're talking about... you're a dealer."

Needless to say, I some time later had a great epiphany when I realized that there are many times in limit hold'em where it's okay to check, even if you were the last aggressor.

So, listen to Walter...

You should check every street on this hand.
