learning to plug leaks

[Tangax]

Hi,

been playing poker for a year now online and live, I moved up from NL2 to NL5 about 4 months ago, I'm slightly under break even on NL5 and recently moved back down to NL2.
I have been learning a lot but its got to the point I am stuck on losing a bit at NL5 and its really hard to see where my leaks are.

Is there somewhere I can play a poker simulator and when I bet check or fold it tells me where I went wrong or what I could do better?

Ive tried free poker solvers and they make no sense to me.

Another option is to just keep playing and hope I get better I watched upswing and Johnathon little videos and have a couple of books which I've taken what I can from.

My preflop is on point with the charts of Johnathon little its somewhere in flop turn river I am leaking. Sometimes I leak a lot by deciding to randomly bluff and get caught out being called once I bet pot river but that's the only thing I can think of.

My bet sizing is also fine 3x raise preflop or fold then 75% pot flop to knock off their flush draws or 1/3 bet if double board as less chance they have it etc and I c bet a lot half pot when checked to.

Would be nice when to know when to call someone down on the flop.

Get Poker Tracker 4. There is a lot of info on You Tube about the inner workings.
It has a leak tracker built in.
It is great for tracking opponents in real time with the HUD.

I play on 888 or partypoker and I think HUDs are banned? I think you can only use HUDS on back door poker sites.

If you make a living from poker, I do not recommend that you dedicate all your time to that activity. I make a living from poker, but with the experience I have, I know very well that in poker it is very easy to lose, and very difficult to win. I make a living playing. poker but I have other income which is sports betting also playing slot machines in the casinos and what generates the most profits for me is doing missions I am also aware of promotions I also dedicate myself to watching extreamer they do raffles for tickets to tournaments tournaments they also give away money I am also paying attention to social networks and participating in entries to tournaments and promotions. If I dedicated myself only to playing cash I would be starving.

I try to play as much as possible online, analyze my successes and mistakes, and in this way I correct and improve for live games

I think you can use a Hud on 888poler cos the streamers on twitch use one.. you'll need to check their terms and see what's accepted

You are spot on, my friend!

You can practice 5 hands a day on free gto wizard many more if you pay for it and you can set up full hands preflop to river and it will indicate gto lines for you to play-

One leak you posted was betting to get flush draws to fold on the flop- We actually want flush draws to call not getting the correct odds-- so flush draws hit 35% of the time by the river if the pot was 7 and we bet 75% =5.25 we get too many flush draws to fold but if we bet 4 the flush draw would not be getting the right odds to call but are more likely to call meaning in the long term we make more money from missed flush draws than if we just have them fold.
The issue with betting 75% on the flop is all the other hands we fold out that we would be getting value from and all the times our V call that large bet and improve on turn and we lose a bigger pot. This is a problem because when called we are up against a condensed range with either very good equity vs our hand or possibly even ahead of us such as slow played sets-- which our V would slow play when we bet flop this large.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, poker is a really tough game to be consistently good at. I think if you just keep studying you will find your leaks. Maybe try a training site for a couple of months. This might spark new ideas for you to study that you might not even thought of. Audio books are great also.
Keep an open mind when learning and take notes, keep at it and you will get better.

Ok thanks I will definitely get the tracker I looked again and you can get it on 888 so likely the regs are picking up data on me, and if I can leakmdetect at the same time think it's going to help. I thought about it before but was way too early but feel like its time now.
I will keep playing aswell I'm sure another 1-2 years should be able to take some kind of side income if its only minimum wage or so as I do find it really enjoyable.

Would you suggest maybe a 1/3 bet then, then if a 3rd of the same suit comes do another 1/3 bet and if they raise it means they hit the flush and just fold? or if they just call hit them with a pot bet on the river.
