Whats your biggest leak?

Whats your biggest leak?

I find myself folding the best hand more often than I should in live poker or otherwise taking a too passive line. I'm not getting bluffed, actually picking off bluffs is one of the things im doing very well, but im often running into villains that are way overvaluing middle strength to good hands and betting like they have the nuts so I end up folding.

A lot of times im finding if I would just say screw it, i have no idea whats going on here and jam, I'd end up with all the money. I cant count the number of times since i started putting in decent time in live play for about 3 mos now that ive folded the best hand and watched 2 villains both get it in with nonsense and see 3rd or 4th pair scoop a $700 pot. Im winning, and I'm winning at a decent clip, but I should be up a lot more.

If its not folding the best hand, its also not putting in a raise to protect my equity when someone is showing a lot of strength unexpectedly and my danger radar goes off.

Im playing really well against the regs and I'm finding them very easy exploit and doing well against passive fish, but the more aggressive fish that are making these kinds of plays are costing me a lot of money. I guess I need to be more willing to just go with a decent hand against them. Their range is so wide and i give them too much credit when they start blasting off with what ends up being weird merged stuff.

Anybody else struggle with this? What other leaks are we all working to fix?
