IMO the biggest leaks in my game.
1 Betting
2 Post Flop Play
3 Reading hands
4 River
I am sure that my betting structure gets me in trouble too many times.
I have no trouble raising pre flop but after the flop I hesitate and am unsure.
Reading hands is another problem. I stay too long with JJ with a K on the flop same for KK with an Ace and Flush draws just totally mess with my head.
Once I enter a hand and get past the turn I have a hard time laying it down on the river. I guess I dont want to look like a weak sister.
These are the things I need to work on. Any help would be appreciated.

Just for grins, what do you do when you have a night you just cant win no matter what. After driving 1/2 hr and waiting another 1/2 hour for a seat at a table you find that every hand turns to crap. Your QQ is beat by a player that stayed with 3-4 and made a full house, your KK loses to trip 3's and when you get AA you only win
the blinds. I know suck it up and come back another day.

You may be playing your KK & QQ hands in a such a way that increases their chances to be beat. Always raise, reraise those hands and make others pay to see the flop.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

if you get nothing else from this site, you must read the KK on A high flop thread. Taking the lead in betting those hands on A-high flops after showing aggression preflop is a mistake in WA/WB situations. Yet many people do this (I saw Dennis Phillips do it, and call a check-raise with KK on an A-high flop in a recent WSOP episode).
Playing big pots at small stakes.
