I was thinking the other day about what it is I need to improve most in my game over the next year, and started thinking about what I had improved over the last year...I'm still beating the same stakes for roughly the same BB/100 that I was a year ago, yet if i played my year ago self I think that I beat myself for a high bb/100, maybe ~6 HU as a guess.
The main improvements i've made are not so much technically but psychologically such as game flow, working out what my opponent is thinking and I factor images into my decisions a lot more - and i've mainly got cts's vids to thank for that.
Also, I think that i would completely run myself over preflop with liberal 3 and 4 bets - I didn't used to adjust nearly as well as I do now.
What have you improved over the past year, and would you be profitable in a game against yourself a year ago?

I c-bet better. And I think more in unremarkable situations about what my opponent is holding so I can extract the most value, instead of just trying to hand read when we get into a big pot.
I still need to run better though. It tilts me to no end to see these pros in their videos win their flips and their 70/30's hold. They're good enough that they don't need to run hot god dammnit!

Toadstool,
Sounds like you're doing well. One fond poker memory I have is reading a bldswttrs thread and seeing him say statements such as some really really good opponent had x hand "90% of the time."
I was pretty baffled by the accuracy of his reads. But it just made me realize how, if you pay enough attention, you can really narrow down someones hand to one or two of them.

I two-barrel and three-barrel better, and I have much better grasp of range & equity thinking. I'm also better at pot building and setting optimal SPR.
The former poster, ISF made an awesome post about dependency between aggression and perceived range, which totally changed my thinking process (those occassional sick all-in bluffs finally started to be non-spew +EV play heh)
If I played with former 2007 me, I'd be probably slight winner, but if I played "me from 2006" I'd run myself over with bets and raises, because I was very weak tight back then.
