Something I think I really, really need to do more.

[xLukex]

We're all caught up in this early level mentality where we check/fold all sorts of ragged flops that could potentially give us lots of free chips. Well, maybe you guys aren't caught up in that mentality, but I feel like I am. I've only been back to SNGs for a couple weeks now, and have found some pretty awesome success. After running good, it's time to fix leaks and find other missed opportunities for chips.

Example time! I hate the converter and it gave me some weird server error!

I certainly wouldn't do this with more than 3 people or if I was first to act unless I had a strong draw. Then again, this isn't some eye-opening new strategy, just something I forget to do every once in a while.
