My biggest leak seems to be calling big bets /shoves because they look like bluffs. Sometimes they are semi-bluffs but more often they are decent sized pocket pairs. If I could stop this leak I coulkd become a very profitable micro-stakes player.
My currrent challenge is value betting which is definitely something I need to work on. However, I have almost wiped out my roll at this point. Having flopped a flush draw and had a pair as well, I bet every street including the river, only to be reraised all in and I felt committed to call. Opponent had a slightly higher flush draw. Now as far as I'm concerned, that is just one of those things which happens. Reload and get on with it.
Funnily enough I seem to have been encountering a new breed of player. These guys call your raise out of position and then pretty much shove any flop. If you don't have anything you can't call them. Any tips on how to deal withy them would be appreciated.
The net result here is essentially that I am losing the hands when I don't go to showdown. My showdown line is at least positive.
So heres a hand where I decided to get it all in with nothing. E

Villain was multi-tabling about 6 tables whereas I was single tabling here.
I was entering way two many pots, but ususally for a raise and was 3 betting a little light, eg button raises.
