Mistakes are rampant in our lives. We know we shouldn't make mistakes but somehow we ended up making more mistakes than the original plan. Almost all mistakes are unintentional. But what we need to do is to learn from those mistakes and try not to commit the same mistakes all over again.

Some people thought they could get away from their mistakes and decline to learn from their errors. They still go to work even though they are hung-over; still drink without thinking of the consequences; hang up with friends who can lead them into trouble – then they make promises not to do it again but ended up doing the same things over and over again.

There are a lot of those kinds in poker, where they made small mistakes that aren't catching much attention. These mistakes are known as leaks in poker or holes in the game which can be devastating. But then if you simultaneously make big errors then it's not called leaks anymore but holes would be the right word! This article is all about leaks but if you are one person who does not make small mistakes but big ones then you need to go back and read the basics of poker strategy and start all over again.

There are three different kinds of leaks:
*Frequent small mistakes
*Infrequent small mistakes
*Non-strategic mistakes

Frequent mistakes occur when the decision will come up quite often. A frequent small mistake in poker could comprise any actions including playing a lot of suited hands pre-flop or betting continuously even if the bet can't help in making the other players fold.

If a small mistake is committed infrequently then it is harder to see. It would be more like playing one or two particular hands instead of playing many suited hands or missing value bets on the river instead of betting on cards with no chance of winning.

Leaks that are non-strategic include parts of the game that happens before the cards are dealt. This may comprise of being drunk or tired before the game started. Quickly seating on a seat that is available without checking if that's a strategic place or not is also a mistake; and not checking out about your playmates is also a costly error.

Non-strategic mistakes are the simple ones to eliminate. You just need to know if you are on the right mind and physical condition to play. If you can't spend 15 minutes to look for a better seat then probably that is not the tight time for you to play. Being in a hurry will just take your focus out on the game and will just be another ground for you to lose.

One excellent step you can take is to give yourself some time to look for a suitable and strategic table to select. Then you have to check out if your opponents on the table are included at the PokerTracker DB. Also take note that you are fit enough mentally and physically to beat the game; so it means no drinking before the game and make sure you're not tired.

Strategic mistakes are difficult to point out and much harder to correct; particularly if they occur only once in a while. A better poker player will know a frequent leak while analyzing their own play.

As for infrequent mistakes, this kind will take another person to point it out for you in order to be notice. You can discussed this with your friends or participate in some poker discussion places in order to know your weakness. And don't forget to snap out quickly on the person who's criticizing your game play; because they are always the one who can point out this type of error for you.

Errors are not a luxury you should always make. But if you know how to cope out from those mistakes then you can save a lot in the process. In order for you to erase the leaks in your game, you need to know that they exist first. However, some people are stubborn enough not to acknowledge their own mistakes until it's too late.
