A poker leak is a repeatable decision pattern that gives up value. PLO Mentor’s Leak Finder goes beyond raw accuracy by measuring the EV lost in trained situations and ranking the mistakes that cost the most.
Why accuracy alone can be misleading
Two errors can both count as one incorrect answer while having very different strategic costs. Choosing the lower-frequency action in a close mix may surrender almost nothing. Making the wrong pure action in a high-impact spot can be far more expensive.
Leak Finder uses EV loss to separate those cases. This helps direct study time toward decisions that are more likely to affect long-term results.
Leaks by situation and hand category
The analysis can identify a broad problem, such as opening too loose from the small blind, and then show which hand structures contribute most to the loss. You can see whether the issue clusters around single-suited connected hands, double-suited unpaired hands or another category.
Move directly from diagnosis to training
Each ranked leak includes a route back into the relevant drill. Train the complete spot to improve the overall strategy or isolate the category that causes the largest errors.
A practical feedback loop
- Complete a training session.
- Review the proficiency matrix and ranked leaks.
- Choose the position or category with the highest EV loss.
- Run a focused drill.
- Return to the full spot and confirm that the decision pattern has improved.
The purpose of Leak Finder
It does not predict your live win rate or inspect hands from a poker client. It analyses the decisions you make inside PLO Mentor and shows where those training errors cost the most EV.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Leak Finder measure?
It measures the EV surrendered by incorrect or suboptimal training decisions and groups the results by situation and hand category.
Is a low accuracy score always the biggest leak?
Not necessarily. A lower score in close mixed-frequency spots may be less costly than a smaller number of major errors. Leak Finder therefore prioritises EV loss rather than accuracy alone.
Can I train a leak immediately?
Yes. The interface provides direct routes to drill the relevant spot or the hand category that contributed most to the problem.
Does it analyse my online poker database?
No. Leak Finder evaluates decisions made in the PLO Mentor training environment. It does not connect to a poker client or upload a hand-history database.
