What Is a Leak (and How the App Finds It)

In short: a leak is a mistake that keeps repeating and bleeds chips — and the app exists to help you see them.

Plan: concept (applies to everyone)

The concept

Leak means a chip drain. In poker, it's a recurring mistake that seems small on its own but, repeated over thousands of hands, costs a lot of chips. Examples: calling river bets with hands that are too weak, opening too many hands from a bad position, folding too easily when you get re-raised.

The difference between a leak and "bad luck" is repetition. Losing one big hand is variance. Losing chips in the same type of situation, every time — that's a leak, and it can be fixed.

How the app finds yours

  1. It looks at your frequencies (the stats) and compares them with the ideal range of winning players at that stake.
  2. When a frequency is way outside the range, it becomes a leak candidate.
  3. Diagnosis interprets that, prioritizes it (critical → minor) and tells you what to adjust first.
  4. The Exploits tab shows the concrete spots where the leak happened — with a replay and a score from 0 to 10.

Why prioritizing matters

You can't fix ten things at once. The app puts what costs the most chips at the top, so your study time pays off. Fix one at a time.

Sample size: don't trust a small one

A stat outside the range with few hands behind it can just be randomness. The more hands, the more reliable the leak. That's why the more you import, the better the diagnosis.
