Leaks - I think I just patched two big ones looking for confirmation

[Kips Bay Kid]

Leak 1 - call fewer raises PF, this includes limping and then folding to a raise. If I limp in with AXs in EP and get raised 4x from MP, chances are good the raiser has a PP. If I have A6s and he has mid-PP like 99 I am going into the flop a 2:1 dog. In the past if I would limp with a hand I would call a raise after limping, I guess it was a pride thing. Now I do not think twice about folding.

Granted there are exceptions based on reads.

Leak 2 - call fewer bets on the flop when I do not hit it. If the pot is $10 and all I am looking at is a back door draw(s) it is throwing money away calling bets on the flop of $4 or more.

What I am hoping to accomplish by removing these leaks is to focus more on the hands that give me a better opportunity to win, am I making my game any weaker by removing these things I am calling leaks?

I have some LAG tendencies and I am hoping this will help right the ship.

nevermind, thought this was the limit forum.

While I don't always practice what I preach, if the table is not completely passive, and there are preflop raises fairly often, you should only play Axs type hands in late position if no one has raised. Same thing for suited connectors. These hands work much better when you have position anyway, as its easier to draw, buy free cards, etc...
With Axs, in LP its also easier to see if your ace is good when you hit.
That said, I can't honestly say that I never have open limped in MP with Axs... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
