Back to Winning

Okay, I know I said I was going to take the day off. But at the end of the day I put in a couple hours anyway. I don't normally play late at night (10pm to midnight), but anyways...

And then I did something I should be doing more often. I spent four hours going through the hand replayer and making notes on every hand, identifying weak players and the mistakes they're making. For some reason, maybe because it was a "holiday", there were tons of players at my tables I'd either never seen before or had no notes on them for whatever other reason. I usually review my session the next day, in the cold light of objectivity. But I also have the bad habit of reviewing only those hands where I lost big pots. It's helpful, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Last night I reviewed EVERY hand. There were quite a few where I didn't get full value out of my hand. Others where I called down even though it was painfully obvious I was beat and should have saved two bets.

Until I get a system that can run a HUD (and even after, regardless), I think it's extremely important that I review every hand in my sessions, as much as time allows anyway (it takes twice to three as long to review a session as it does to play it), and identify weak players and what mistakes they make so I can exploit them in the future.

All that being said, I crushed the tables for 7.5BB/100 last night.

Hope your next session goes this good!
