Found two small leaks
I spent two hours last night pouring over my PT stats and found two small leaks in my game.
1) Limping with hands like AT and KQ in between middle and late position into an unopened pot (no limps or raises). Doing this, and then flopping just enough to see another street can be very expensive over time. Sure it's only 50c or $1 each time, but over the course of a session it can add up. You can do the math.
2) Completing the small blind with crap when I'm not getting the odds. For example, I have 8/4o with 1 limper behind me. Sure it only costs me 15c but with only 50c in the pot and me having to act first for the rest of the hand. It's like throwing the money away. 15c*50 times per session*a months worth of sessions.....I'll let you do the math....(ok ok i did the math for you and believe it or not if you do this 50 times a day it at only fifteen cents a pop it ends up being over $225 lost by the end of the month).
Hope this helps someone.
