After getting back from my first Vegas trip, I sat down with TTH and played for a while. My goal was to review basic play, so I set everything to the easiest possible settings (no players adjust, no players make moves), have random players enter the game (so that I get a sort of 'average' of how I play), and set it to zip to the end (so that I would be working only on the 'what do I have and how do I play what I have' thinking.) A few days later (and some 2700 hands), I looked at the stats and it says that I'm making just over 1 BB an hour. Because of this, I think I'm going to ignore my losses at Vegas and believe that I can play decently and that I should try to move to a higher level (mentally, not financially) of play.
The next thing I think I should work on is adjusting my play according to who is in the hand. I haven't the slightest idea how to begin this. I was thinking something along the lines of turning off the zip to the end and watching a single player. I can watch, but I really don't know what details to look for. I tried writing down everything, but then I have a big mess of stuff on a sheet of paper and I still don't know what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?
