    Any play you think is bad should go in subtractable losses IMO. Not necessarily getting it in behind, just playing bad. So if peeling a 4bet is bad, that goes as an avoidable loss. If you then flop bottom set and play it perfectly, any money on flop/turn/river aren't avoidable losses - they're just normal plays. Never subtract anything from it and let it keep growing.

    Expected losses would be most accurate but I like avoidable losses as a 100% figure - it's the worst case scenario, it's easier to calculate and a bigger number will inspire you not to do it more.

    Pascal - yah I agree, thanks for the comments. I'll start counting all avoidable losses in a hand, and if I luckbox then I agree it shouldn't contribute to avoidable losses in either direction.

    Bigger number definitely motivates more!
