What do you do to review you hands? I know you use the Hand Eval forums (thanks for the help, btw ) but what else do you do? Watch the vids, go over the articles, etc.?

Also, I'd be really interested to seem some of those videos you've made - do you have any plans for putting them up on Youtube, for example?

Well, don't think I'll be sharing the videos cause they're absolute crap at the moment ♠_cool:
Plus, I've reviewed my first recorded session and in many cases I thought "wtf was I thinking of!?" Well, at least I found a few leaks.

My biggest problem is that I don't review as many hands as I should be, but I generally am trying to have a look at:
1) Hands marked for review during the game.
2) Hands that lost a big pot.
3) Hands that won a big pot.

My current preflop goal is to play according to extended charts + very small deviations to adjust for opponents (e.g. steal looser from a rock, etc).
Therefore, I check preflop, check that I complied with the chart or explain why I did not.
Postflop: found a lot of leaks recently and trying to correct them; sending a hand to equilator to see how my equity would change when opponent's ranges change.
Re-read articles & standard lines.

I guess that if I am doing some reviews and finding errors, getting better is only a matter of time

Since you are currently playing micro stakes, my guess would be that your best bet is to make sure you are following a basic system and let the volume of hands beat the variance. Getting out of micros is tough because of all those really bad players.

The charts are awesome - I use the silver FR FL chart all the time. (With table-based/opponent-based adjustments too.)

With regards to my review, at the moment, I go over every "+" & "-" hand I play. The hands I'm unsure of go to the Hand Eval forum.

I'm mainly looking for three things in review:

1) Did I get enough value from that winning hand?
2) With my losing hands: was folding the right line & did I do it at the right time?
3) Did I play according to Odds & Outs.

If I take a bad beat, or someone slowplays against me, as long as I've played according to O&O I can sleep at night knowing that I played it correctly. ("Correctly" being relative to my level, of course!)

I should be hitting Silver this week, so I can't wait to get my teeth into those articles again - then my idea of "correctly" will shift, and I'll have other things to take into account.

With regards to your videos, get them out! Even the horrible hands, instead of "reviewing" them, change them to "if I could play this hand over again I would..." type things. If you use Youtube, you can make it "invite only", that way you don't have random spazztards leaving you nasty comments.

Anyway, keep it up, and I hope to see you on the lower stakes soon
