Mistakes are rampant in our lives. We know we shouldn’t make mistakes but somehow we ended up making more mistakes than the original plan. Almost all mistakes are unintentional. But what we need to do is to learn from those mistakes and try not to commit the same mistakes all over again.

But some people are hard headed not to learn from their mistakes: they still commit the same mistakes over and over again, no matter what kind of promises they make not to do the same errors again.

That kind of people is rampant at the poker table. Their mistakes often go unnoticed in the public eye. They called these mistakes as leaks because they are small ones but they have tremendous after effects if not corrected. But if you are committing big errors instead of small ones then it’s not leak anymore but a hole. And if you have tremendous holes in your game then it’s time for you to learn the basics again, because this article will focus on leaks not holes.

Here are the kinds of leaks: *Frequent small mistakes *Infrequent small mistakes *Non-strategic mistakes

Mistakes that are frequently place happen when decisions are made up. A small mistake that happens frequently can be defined as something where you play too many suited hands before flop or continuing betting even if your card has no chance to win.

If a small mistake is committed infrequently then it is harder to see. It would be more like playing one or two particular hands instead of playing many suited hands or missing value bets on the river instead of betting on cards with no chance of winning.

The non-strategic errors in the game can be made before the game has started. For instance, playing drunk or tired or playing under-rolled. Not checking out the seats before sitting is a leak. Too tired to check out PokerTracker database or not evaluating your opponents are common example of non-strategic errors in poker.

Errors that are non-strategic are easy to cure. You just need to know your limits and must be aware if you are ready to play or not. If you are not ready emotionally and physically then don’t play. If you can’t wait and stop in order to look for a suitable seating arrangement or select a good table then don’t play.

One excellent step you can take is to give yourself some time to look for a suitable and strategic table to select. Then you have to check out if your opponents on the table are included at the PokerTracker DB. Also take note that you are fit enough mentally and physically to beat the game; so it means no drinking before the game and make sure you’re not tired.

Strategic mistakes are difficult to know and difficult to cure: more than ever if they rarely occur. However, a very good observer can see any errors in the game if they know how to evaluate their own game play.

Mistakes that happen rarely can be notice by other player who will show you because you can’t see it. In order for you to be aware of such mistakes, you can ask your friends to observe your game play and let them tell you what those errors are. If someone you don’t know ridicules your game by pointing out the mistakes you made, don’t be angered easily. They might be right; you just need to learn not to make the same mistake again.

Errors are not a luxury you should always make. But if you know how to cope out from those mistakes then you can save a lot in the process. In order for you to erase the leaks in your game, you need to know that they exist first. However, some people are stubborn enough not to acknowledge their own mistakes until it’s too late.
