Making random donk plays I know are wrong way more often than any decent player should. (I suppose that would be called tilting)

yeah, thats probably mine too. Every now and then I do something unbelievably stupid. Good news is that it is getting far less frequent.

I was too tight early giving up opportunities to gain chips. This is of course a smaller leak than the big one, being too tight levels 4+/ITM/HU.

I do think one shouldn't underestimate the importance of playing good poker levels 1-3 though. If you go into level 4 with 75 more chips on average with tight instead of supertight strategy, it will definately have an impact on your ROI.

Overplaying 77-TT on the early levels

Being overaggressive in levels 4+ in low-buyin games. When I first started playing SNGs, I was far too passive. When I started learning the math behind them, I was hell-bent on taking every +EV opportunity, no matter how marginal. Well, considering that $11 players are apt to suddenly spite call with crap (usually better than my crap) if they they think you're bluffing, I was running somewhere around 35% ITM with a crap ROI.

Once I realized that I really needed to just chill at times, and sometimes pass up on +EV opportunities for image purposes, my ROI shot up. Also, my ITM climbed considerably.

Current leak being worked on? Heads-up issues.

EDIT: Forgot to add one: "Always play for first" was a huge leak that I've since plugged.
