Anatomy of a Leak

At 20bb the player was outside his comfort zone. Not enough theory and reps at this stack depth, so his ranges drifted wide and J2s ended up opened from a spot it has no business being in. With proper 20bb training and experience, this hand never gets played.

Two coolers in a row (KK at hand 63, 99 at hand 65) left him unable to reset. By hand 72 he was playing the story of the bust, not the cards.

"Suited" feels safe and creative. J2s is still a J2. The matching suit adds 2-3% equity, not a hand class. Story over math.

17 left, the deepest run of the night, with a stack that had bled below the comfort threshold. The mind tightened, the discipline loosened.
