This was good, I started to tilt slightly after them 2 hands in the post above, noticed it about 10 hands after and took a break. 10/10

Focus level

8/10 to begin with then I was distracting myself by looking at pokerstrategy overall 5/10

Tough spots

update after analysis

How much did variance influence my play

ditto

Area's im trying to improve

3bet/4bet and playing vs 3et/4bet - im playing these really well at the moment

Squeezing and playing vs squeeze - I have just recognised this as a weak part of my game this session

Player type analysis - hasn't improved

How to play vs player type - this seems to be improving ive spotted a few better ways to play vs the loose passive im eager to try out

The average range of a player type - on my to do list

That sounds very interesting, how would that be done just out of curiosity?

Revising goals for this week

1) Watch some videos and research on squeezing - 50% complete

5) Revisit how to play vs player type -

How well I played

I played terrible to start with, I watched a video on squeezing and I was trying to remember that so I sort of forgot the rest of my game after making several mistakes, I took a 5 min break went for a smoke made a drink got refocused and played much better.

Cgame

I have noticed my Agame has taken a step forward

Tilt control

I think I did ok on this its hard to remember I didn't, since I didn't conduct this review right after playing so the thoughts are fresh in my mind, in future ill try to do it immediately after

Focus level

This wasn't great 5/10 I believe it to be because I was playing to many tables, witch is why my new goal for the session is to play only 2.

Tough spots

This was sort of tough at the time, but I think I played it well and assigned correct ranges to the players and made the correct call, I assigned CO with QX, many weak draws and flush draws, I assigned the other player with a weaker Ace, I was getting good pots odds too, it was an easy call.

How much did variance influence my play

im struggling with this part to estimate it so I need to do some research, for now ill just put this on hold

Area's im trying to improve

1) Squeezing - massive improvement here
2) Vs squeeze - n/a
3) 3bets - I played this, well I was selective in witch flops to cbet and cbet bluffed ok vs some tighter players
4) Vs 3bets - solid play
5) 4bets - n/a
6) Vs 4bets - I played this badly there was a spot I should of shoved AK vs a LAG, I called and lost $3
7) Mental game - unimproved

This is part of my warm up, to analyse the last session, im doing a biggest loss biggest win analysis at the moment.

Solid B+game

Tilt control

I nearly tilted after getting unlucky, but I managed to control it well and stay focused

Focus level

I was mega focused through most of this session 9/10

Tough spots

This was a bit weird, hand 1

hand 2, this shows I need to work on multi way pots

This was a bad bluff catch

How much did variance influence my play

It affected me a little bit im sure about -$5-$10

Area's im trying to improve

How well I played

I have played close to my Agame with a few mistakes, until I got close to stepping up I made some looser calls trying to force it, this is a huge mistake since it could lead to more loss's followed by crazy monkey tilt.

Tilt control

Not great, but not terrible either 7/10

Focus level

8/10 I was watching what everyone was doing and adapted to there style pretty well, until I got close to being able to step up a limit, I got very distracted by the cashier, I need to not let this happen again

Tough spots
