Default Re: 3 biggest winning and 3 biggest losing hands for comments

HoneyBadger, fair point, and to hear it that is why I posted, to get critisism. But my 1st example, I had the best hand/nuts and I put in as much bets and raises as I could.
What you say makes perfect sense but the difficulty seems to be reading and studying and trying to use those concepts in practise. In the heat of the moment often for a beginner it all becomes a blur, self-discipline is needed and that may come only through long time practise.
But what is interesting is reading SSHE or Theory of Poker and seeing some of the concepts work in real life. You read and read but every now and then it sinks in, for example the other day I realised I had been giving others too much credit, always checking out what is the nuts and assuming someone had it - otherwise they wouldn't have been betting, right? well, most of the time, I found out not, so I tried to value bet even my marginal hands.
Looks to me when I revise SSHE and then play, I do better but must deviate in a few days time since my results get worse.

Anyway, it's an interesting hobby for me and I enjoy reading these forums at 2+2---I prefer the analytical aspect Sklansky et al bring to the game.

Thanks for your feed-back - next time I will post on the bbv as advised.
