This might be better suited for another area of the forum, but most of the PT users hang out in here I think.
What steps do you go through to review a session? I usually look at a few of my biggest winning and losing hands to see what I could improve. I also look at my stats to see if anything is unusually high or low. For example if my VP$IP is low, I might be getting bad cards, or I might have unknowingly tightened up. What sorts of things do you guys look at?

I usually review my sessions during my session instead of using PT later. Whenever I have a time where I have folded at all 4 of my tables, I'll pick one table and look through my last 10-20 hands and see if there was anything I could have done differently. I find that looking at stats for a given session is kind of worthless, because you just don't get enough hands in for stats to matter much. Even VPIP is kind of worthless over a single session or day.
Now at the end of every week when I have 10,000+ hands to look over I'll go through my poker tracker stats and see if anything looks wierd. For example if I have gotten high pockets an unusually high or low number of times, I'll take that into account when looking at my weekly profit(same for number of sets hit with my low pairs). I'll also look through my AK-AJs hands and see if my profit is about where it should be and if not why. For example, I had one week where I was in kind of a slump and noticed at the end of the week that I was way overplaying AK and AQ when I missed the flop.

I do the same...I look at unprofitable hands in larger sample sizes, and adjust for distortion based on a couple big hands. I found most recently:
- I bet out in EP into large fields with probable second bests.
- I overplay KQ and AJ in EP (now I usually don't really even play them at most tables)
- I overplay big slick/chick out of position and/or when I whiff the flop.
- I overplay middle pairs (6,7,8) out of position, and sometimes chase to the turn.
- I spew chips out of position...

If I decide to review a session I usually tell PT to filter out hands where I did not voluntarily put money into the pot and then go through the remaining hands and look for errors.
I don't usually bother reviewing whole sessions however as most hands are fairly obvious. Instead of reviewing sessions I write down hands that I was unsure about while playing and then find and review them later. Usually something like "AQo middle position" which is easy to find even after a long session. I find this to be a lot more effective.

Yes, that's what I do as well. Then sometimes I'll post that hand here.
