What leak do you have in your game that you know is a leak but you refuse to correct it and why?

My weakness:
The fear of losing in poker and accepting that losing is part of the game. I have to focus on playing my best rather than the outcome. I have to study this point, review my play to improve, and gain confidence through experience.

I just realised there is a leak I really refuse to correct.
I play online microstakes. Since it is heavily underbluffed, I often repeat a golden sentence I heard from one of the youtubers I follow:
"Overfold to aggression on later streets"
But somehow, much too often, I refuse to follow this simple advice. Why? I always find some silly reason - to bluffcatch, or I just think my TP is strong enough, or whatever. Usually it costs me a stack.

My current leak is (it lasts around 6-12 months now) that I don't have the patience to play MTT's more than 40-60 minutes (sometimes even 20). I simply lose patience and gave chips away.

The only good thing is that I'm playing only freerolls (Cardchat dailies or monthly's on Replay poker), but still, for me it's a big leak. I don't come even close to the money paying positions.
I have the same dilemma—I can hardly last long in MTTs. That’s one of my biggest leaks. Even with a big stack, once I get beat, I tend to lose focus and practically give away the rest of my chips.

I haven't played poker in a long while and I can't even recall any leaks in my game that sticks like gecko and refuse to correct. What I can recall from memory is that I tend to call a lot, they called me "fish", probably due to the style I learned from playing Zynga poker. Since it's play money and I got nothing to lose, I was a loose player. Will I refuse to play loose? With the money on the line playing freerolls here, maybe I will throw this "leak" in the bin and pick better spots.

Joining CardsChat Community, maybe I will learn to play better, especially so once I'm through with the 30 Day course offered here.

Don't be afraid... You'll have to overcome fear, and this is destructive... But you need to have a critical analysis and reasonable logical actions...) Even when you lose, you consider yourself right... your psychological and moral conscience rests, you are happy for yourself and your smart opponent!!! Acidity is not increased, the ulcer does not disturb the heart pleasantly taps with adrenaline))))

I haven't played for a long time, so I kind of forgot when it's smart to play passively and when to be aggressive. I've noticed that sometimes it ruins my entire game, especially when I misread the dynamics of the table or get stuck in one mode. It's the only leak I've really noticed in my game the timing of switching gears

Honestly, my biggest flaw is that I make hero calls a lot more often than I should. Deep down, I know that the solution approved by the players is to let these weak points pass, but I can't help it. My little inner voice always tells me “he can't have it every time”, and I then convince myself to click on call.
Why not fix that? It's simple: the few times I'm right, I'm so satisfied that I think it's worth it. It's not the most positive approach in terms of EV, but it does make the game more fun. For me, poker isn't just about perfect math; sometimes it's about following the urge to kill, even though I know I'm setting the chips on fire.

My biggest leak is overvaluing suited connectors way too much. I convince myself I’m about to flop the nuts every time, but usually I just end up donating chips.

Not completely breaking my fear of bigger bets, which is why I keep practicing in freeroll tournaments
