Default Identifying Leaks

Hi all.

Last night was the final straw.

played 40k hands last month of 2/4 and 3/6 4 tabling and was not a huge winner at either, but showed around a 1.1bb/100 profit + rakeback so everything was going well.

This month, total opposite. Small sample size so far, but after 7k hands, I'm -1.4bb/100 4 tabling the 2/4.

Allow me my moment of Ranting, if you don't wanna read it, skip the next two paragraphs.

First straw was entering a 30+3 NL multi tourney just to switch things up. Within first 3 rounds I've almost tripled up because of AA, KK, AKx3, and QQ. So I got some cards early which was nice and just kinda cruised for a while. So we're down to 250 players and I've been stagnant for a bit. haven't played a hand in bout 3 or 4 orbits. UTG i'm looking at KK and since the blinds are 50/100 and I have 2800 and every single pot's been raised pre flop for the last 20 mins, I go for the limp reraise....works perfectly. Some guy on my left limps too, then a raise to 600, the SB calls short (all-in) and I come over the top, expecting a protected pot from the all-in'er. To my delight, the raiser has me covered and calls. He shows QQ and next thing I know I'm out of the tourney at around 250. No big deal, it happens, but it's still frustrating, especially with the last 7k hands being so bad.

So I go back to 4 tabling 2/4 and I'm at an awesome table. I am not kidding at all that this table was 44 vpip, 1 pfr, and around 40 wts. It was awesome. Then this occurs. I get 99 in MP1 and raise it, 3 cold callers (nice). Flop comes 6 8 10rainbow. I bet, call, call, raise. I call, call, Raise, call. (interesting) One more bet to me, I call, RAISE, call, call. (wtf...cap'd and i'm gutshot but only paying 1 bet each time...odd) Turn is my MIRACLE 7 of spades. needless to say, cap'd again. River is 2 of spades. I lead out, call, RAISE....are you friggin kidding me...did he stumble his 2 pair into a flush?....I make a crying call only to be 3 bet by the guy in the middle...I'm ripping out my hair. we both call and here's the hands:
MP2 shows Qs3s for the pre flop cold call, cap'd flop runner runner non-nut flush.
Cutoff shows 10s4s for the pre flop cold call,..blah blah

I was not happy.

So thank god my internet cut out for the night cause I think I would have tilteda little more away after that hand as I was pretty pissed. (Rare for me to get emotional anymore, but this month is different.)

So last month I was beating the 2/4 4tables for over 1bb/100. Nothing spectacular but semi-respectable. I made the move, mid-month to 3/6 and got beat down to the tune of -.3bb/100 over 25k hands. So this month I'm back to 2/4 to plug leaks. hence the name of the post.

I use PT and gametime+ and am really trying hard to analyze my stats and learn from them.

So help me out. I've pretty much identified QJ and KJ in EP as being some minor leaks. My stats aren't out of the ordinary, 18vpip, 9pfr, 33ish WTS, with 51ish W$aSD.

How do you all use PT to identify leaks? Point me in the right direction here if you would please.

Note * - I'm at work right now and can get on the net anytime to discuss and chat, but I do not have my PT stats available to me here. If you have specific questions that would enable you to answer with more accuracy, leave em and I will try to answer them when I get home.

Note 2 - I know 7k hands isn't a large sample size, but my bankroll is slowly shrinking and it's time to evaluate.

Thank you everyone. I'll be looking in.
