It's hard to name a particular "biggest" leak, but something I stress to my students that are trying to break into 1/2 is that they need to have some sort of balance in all of their possible ranges in common spots. If you call a raise in position, then raise a c-bet on the flop, you should have more in your range than sets or draws. If you call the flop then raise the turn, you should have more in your range than sets. And so on. These spots probably don't apply completely to you specifically, but I'm sure you could think of at least a few spots where your range is really easy to know.

I see a LOT of this type of thing from the people I help out at 100nl and 200nl, and since it's the first big thing to come to mind, I'll say balance.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
