I think you've identified a major leak for lots of players, even many regs. Reviewing my sessions on a regular basis is something that I struggle with often.

One idea I've learned about through videos on a major training site is to do a pre session routine and post session routine for every session you play.

In the pre session routine you set very specific goals/set your focus for the session you're about to play. For example, let's say you want to work on 3 betting in position. Now every time this situation comes up in play you pay extra close attention to what you're doing and eventually get better at it. The reason this is good is because if you focus on getting better at specific things then you increase your learning efficiency.

In the post session routine you review hands from that session. In doing so, you identify spots you may have misplayed and this will give you ideas for your next pre session routine and the focus for the next session.

I have not tried this out in detail yet but I think it could be very helpful.


Another thing I've been thinking about recently is to start marking hands during a session instead of just reviewing the session in general after its done. I think this will be much better because you can analyze your play in more detail. For example, let's say I flat a CO open from a nit while I'm OTB. Let's say the flop is xxx and I expect him to bet it often but he checks to me. Therefore, I'm not quite sure what to do but I think his range is x, y, z and I decide to bet. Well, if I mark this hand then not only do I make sure I review it later, but I also remember my exact line of thinking during the hand and I can analyze whether or not I was correct.
