I'd call that a leak. Fine if you don't like it as a system, but if you CAN'T face playing like that, and you like to gambool, and you've busted a few BRs you're letting your inner andreneline junkie run your game.

I'm not exactly a beginner at this, but I'm definitely looking to learn how to play a consistently good game, rather than the ridiculous gamble-gamble-gamble version that I am so accustomed to
Not sure what counts as a beginner these days. But look at it this way: if you're starting over, you're a beginner

Performance Poker won't help you unless you switch to full-ring; which is a good way of learning to play tighter.
But assuming you want short-handed then why not check out Renton's strat post . Certainly may help in getting your pf stats in order.


As for the OP, is the correct move here to go all in after his check? Does AxKh call me there, or am I pushing him out and only getting called by the made flush? That was rationale behind the small raises, that an Ace
I think the straight would have to call even if you pushed and you could still pick that pot up.
But I think your line looks fine. There's no hand out there you can't outdraw on the river (except K9h) and you have the nut-straight already; if you lost it I'd just chalk that up to variance.
