Sky from Smart Poker Study breaks down the 10 biggest preflop leaks plaguing micro and low stakes players. He shows exactly how to exploit limpers, calling stations, small three-bettors, and emotional players. Each leak comes with specific HUD stats to target and step-by-step exploitation strategies to maximize profits against weak opponents.
Target loose players with VPIP >40%, exploit limpers with ISO raises, use bigger 3-bet sizes vs weak opponents, and pressure tilted players.
Preflop Exploitation Tactics:
- Look for players with VPIP >40% and limp rates >10% - they're bleeding chips with weak ranges
- ISO raise limpers to 5BB and expect calls - have a post-flop plan ready
- Exploit small 3-bettors (3-7BB) by calling with position and applying pressure
- Target blind defenders who can't fold - steal more from late position
- Use 3x raises against quarter-pot donk bets when you have strong hands
- Ignore tight image against unobservant players - they won't adjust anyway
- Capitalize on tilted players by widening your value betting range and calling down lighter
