How to use the LeakLab system to improve

The three-piece system

LeakLab works like a triangle. Three pieces that feed each other.

Your imported hands give you your raw stats (VPIP, PFR, Gap, 3-bet, cbet, and the rest) and their statistical reliability. The more you import, the more reliable your stats, the more precise the diagnosis.

The coaching card takes those stats, compares them to the pool's winner profiles at your stake, and lists your priority leaks grouped by theme (G1 to G7). It tells you what's wrong first in your game.

The thematic courses tell you what to concretely do to fix each leak. The card points you to the course, the course gives you the action plan, you go back and play, and you re-import your hands to measure whether it moved.

The full loop: import, diagnose, read the course, apply, re-import, measure. Break one link and the rest loses its value.

Statistical reliability: why volume matters

This is probably the most misunderstood thing in online poker. A stat means nothing without enough volume.

Your VPIP over 500 hands might be 32% while your "true" VPIP, the one that stabilizes over 50,000 hands, is 24%. The difference isn't a change in play, just the randomness of the first 500 hands.

LeakLab shows a reliability star system on each stat. A 1-star stat isn't usable for deciding on a fix. A 3-star stat is.

If you import 800 hands and panic because your VPIP is 35%, you're panicking for nothing. Play, import, watch it stabilize.

The over-diagnosis trap

When you look at your coaching card for the first time, you might see 4 or 5 leaks. The temptation: fix everything at once.

Don't. You'll spread yourself thin and fix nothing.

Pick one priority leak. Read the matching course. Apply it over 5,000-10,000 hands. Measure. Move to the next.

Progress in poker is vertical, not horizontal. A player who fixes one thing thoroughly improves faster than ten players trying to fix everything at once.
