Default Has anyone ever tried this....

when you make a play, write down on paper your plan based on your opponents action, then keep track of your final action, and whether it was right or wrong, then track which decision is more trustworthy.

I do it mentally.. Whatever gets you thinking about the game and evaulating your decisions is most important.

I think I could only do this single tabling, but it sounds like a good idea. If I read this correctly, you are interested in whether a plan you form early in the hand is better than what you end up doing in the heat of battle. (Like: I am going to check raise this flop and fold to any further action, then getting sucked in when you improve marginally on the turn or decide to fire a second barrel that wasn't in your original plan).

I haven't quite done this, but I've certainly thought about it. For example, if I semi-bluff based on a 30% chance that I'll fold an opponent, I'd like to go back and collect all those times I estimated 30%.

But what I'd really like to do is figure out a discreet way to take these notes in a B&M casino!

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but it seems to me like this would be very, very short term/results oriented. The way that i understand good play is to make the right decision before hand, and that the right decision is the right play ,no matter what the results, to enusre long term +EV. I think that what you're sugeesting could be hazardous because, say your LP and you call K2s instead of folding. If you hit the flush that doesn't neccesarily mean you made the right decision, it just means that you got lucky. This is why people say that good poker has nothing to do with luck.
