Learn Tommy Yau's systematic approach to fixing poker mistakes through proper hand analysis. This video covers 6 common spots live players butcher: multi-way donk bets, top pair decisions, river bluffs, and turn sizing. Discover how to rebuild your game by tackling leaks methodically instead of just reviewing hands for closure.

Focus on fixing leaks systematically rather than seeking validation. Multi-way donks are strong. Size bets based on opponent ranges, not hand strength.

Common Live Poker Leaks & Fixes:

  • Multi-way donk bets indicate strength regardless of sizing - don't slow play sets against them
  • When opponents check-call flop then face paired boards, they become more price-sensitive with draws
  • River bluff sizing should target specific hands - if value hands go all-in, bluffs should too
  • Top pair on dry boards needs protection against loose ranges, especially when position allows
  • Turn betting should consider opponent's entire range, not just your hand strength
  • Checking back turns with showdown value requires river planning when draws complete
  • Board pairing makes recreational players less likely to fold draws due to "two pair" psychology
