Fnord's "Why you suck at Limit Holdem" hits on many of my problems... it's a wonder ever make money:

You play too many hands
You ignore the size of the pot (including chasing with bad pot odds)
You play too many hands
You ignore the size of the pot (including chasing with bad pot odds) at times
You call 2+ small bets cold pre-flop with unpaired offsuit hands (AQo, AJo, QJo, KTo, etc.)
You don't raise AKo,JJ,TT
You don't 3-bet/cap AA,KK,QQ,AK
You fold pretty good hands for 1 bet in big pots
You open the pot for a limp outside of UTG/UTG+1 at a full table. at times
You think you can push out a flush draw
You play unsuited cards with one big card and a little one
You play suited crap out of position and for more than one bet outside of your blinds
You jam your draws without enough pot equity (callers) and/or with very little fold equity destroying your implied odds in the process. especially shorthanded
You raise the flop "for a free card" too often and then proceed to semi-bluff the turn anyway.
You play your blinds too much when facing a raise (particularly heads-up) at shorthanded tables
You think playing over-cards is your biggest leak lol... always did think this is one of my bigger post-flop problems... lol
[color=red]You don't bet the river often enough/color] a big problem of mine
You go all-in
You over-value deception against poor players
You under-estimate how much of your profit comes from AA,KK,AK
You under-estimate how much of your profit comes from players that suck worse than you and fail to seek them out. another big problem of mine
You under-estimate the impact and diverse forms of luck over the short term.
You under-estimate what long term is. 10,000 hands isn't long-term.
You expect to beat the rake for a healthy rate in any live game smaller than 4/8.

Felt I already knew much of my problems, but it is good theropy to see reinforcing comments to drive home just how much these leaks are probably costing me. And they are simple fixes. I really need to work on fixing these. It would probably go a lot farther (and faster) than trying to learn and understand more complex theories!

Time to start by scoutting out good tables and games. I started working PokerTracker overtime this week observing tables while I'm at work, playing other tables, or whatever.....
