Leak of The Day – 2

I like this idea, I might turn it into some kind of feature for the website :-)

I am probably going to take tonight off from play, but at the moment, I am thinking about my game and my recent sessions. I tried and at least failed to some extent in reducing my pay off frequency last night, that I will have to focus on a little more.

Another leak I will be trying to focus on is improving my blind stealing. I am currently maintaining an ATS around 40% which is okay, I need to get it back up to 50%, but my main concern with this leak is that I very rarely adjust my stealing strategy towards the specific opponents I face in the blinds, and when I do it takes me far too may orbits to achieve. This is especially true with shorter stacks of the loose variety.

Leak of The Day

A fellow 2p2 grinder gave me a tip a week or so ago, that was to focus on improving one specific leak at a time during a session. It just came back to me now, and after paying off more then a few rivers already today, I think that reducing my pay off calls is a great candidate.

A few others I will likely focus on over the week include:

1. Being aware of the stack sizes before I make a raise or call.

2. Have at least a rough idea of what the SPR will be when I make a raise.

3. Having a plan for the river before I play out the turn.
