I'm wondering what most of you feel is the single worst leak among winning SNG players?

For low buy-in people definitely being weak tight, waiting for a hand (yuck).

Not paying attention 100% of the time.

Underestimating the value of 3rd place.

And I'd have to say a big leak of losing SNGers is OVERestimating the value of 3rd place

biggest leak:
Going for coin flips early in the tourny. ie: 15/30 blinds, ak vs my jj

I don't think this is much of a leak. Overplaying AK and JJ may be a leak because if someone shows a lot of strength early it very well could be AA, KK or QQ. However if you hold JJ and are fairly sure your opponent has AK (not sure how you could be sure of this, but let's say you are sure), not going all-in can be a huge mistake.

For example, suppose blinds are 15/30, AK raise in EP to 100, you raise with JJ to 300 and AK goes all-in. You have to call 700 to win 2000. You are about a 57% favorite, but getting nearly 3:1 pot odds. If you are reasonably sure your opponent does not hold AA-QQ folding here is a huge leak.

I don't think I would argue with that.

Not playing your A game all the time... getting tired/complacent and making mistakes you don't usually make.

My biggest leak is the chips I spew from the big blind. I get to see a free flop with a hand like T8o. I hit top pair on the flop, and the chips literally grow feet and start walking across the board into someone else's stack.

The rest of my SnG winnings I just waste....Oh, and inventing a forumbot

Yeah, me too. Already killed one mouse this year, and my return key is going bad. Fortunately I live in a very new neighborhood and we don't have neighbors yet...

I do tilt a little however, but I don't tilt angry or tilt apathetic. I tilt paranoid. I feel like people are taking shots cause they see me folding too much. I start wondering if they can see my cards after being faced with a handfull of back to back difficult dicisions.
