So another poor week saved only by some nice bonuses but i guess a profits a profit. I really think my games improved more over the last few weeks than at any other period since ive started, something's just clicked lately and i feel like im thinking on a whole new level on what situations are profitable and what other people are thinking about which should help me narrow ranges and broaden mine but the facts dont lie and im a losing player so ive decided ill get some coaching to see if im really running bad or playing bad and picking up any bad habits.

What my new way of thinking has made me realise though, is that even going back to the time when i was running good i had alot of leaks, some big and some small but there was quite a few and i feel ive plugged quite a few by now and i realise that sometimes leaks arent so obvious and the only way they become obvious is to post lots of hands and constantly to keep thinking about poker theory. I think there is certain times when something just dosent make sense but at a later stage it just may click and then leaks become obvious, if we switch off and stop posting hands and discussing theory then we miss these leaks.

For example if i have alot of trouble calculating accurate ranges then all my decisions and equity calculations would be inaccurate alot of the time. It wouldnt feel like a leak, i would calculate that i made the correct decision based on my equity vs hes range and would presume i had done the right thing. Only when im capable of understanding ranges accurately can i fully make use of equity calculations and plug that leak, so as i continue to increase my poker knowledge and experience i improve other parts of my game.
