Systematic Improvement process?

Hi,

As a fairly new player, I've decided to get a bit more structured in improving. I've been killing .5/1 the last 15k hands, and just moved up to 1/2.

I've read the key books a few times, and think I understand pretty well the concepts in ToP, SSH, and i'm starting in on HEfAP.

I'm probably pretty weak in reviewing my own play. I've been using PT since I started 25K hands ago. But besides tracking the key indicators I don't do much with the info.

What "post session" activities should I get in the habit of doing? People say to review your play, what exactly do they mean?

Also, a while back, I remember a thread by bisonbison (which I can't find) that said a good habit to get into was to call out several things at each hand

- your outs, full and discounted
- pot odds

I remember there being a great deal more to his post than this, if anyone knows what I'm talking about...

thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.
Regards,
Francis

Bump.

I'd also be very interested in hearing what the advanced guys do post session to improve their game.

I review the hands I played in each session using PT , looking for mistakes I made, alternate strategies, missed bets, bad bets, and so on. I learn a lot when I can go over my hands away from the heat of battle.

Yes I would also like to hear how the pros review and evaulate their play to find leaks and make adjustments.

Everything I do is very high level and generic, I look at how I do with certain types of hands (Ax suited, middle pairs, suited connectors) etc.

I look also at the hands I lost the most BB's in and make sure I lost them for a reason (had a good hand lose to a great one, got sucked out on, etc.).
