Default How many mistakes per night do you make?

That you are aware of, on average, how many mistakes do you make in a session? Not mistakes like, hindsight 20/20 results oriented mistakes, but mistakes like you know better but still made a poor or hasty decision.

yesterday I misclick mucked TT UTG. This bothers me far more than any kind of beat. Or if I overlook calling the flop with a gutshot with huge implied odds vs a spewing lagtard. These things can bother me for up to 20-30 minutes later. I play SNGs so I almost never make actual strategic errors. That's what's so great about them. You just know what to do pretty much all the time.

I don't know how many, but they sting me, i.e. today I lost a $700 pot, getting it in on the flop with top set vs somebody with an overpair and lost to the 2-outer and I did not care, but I am still annoyed that I spewed $150 on a bluff where it is obvious with some think work that I had near to nada folding equity. It is part of the learning process though, whenever you know you made a mistake it shows you are aware of improvement potential, I try to think of it that way, as a motivation to improve my winrate.

I used to make about 1 or 2 mistakes a session costing anywhere from $20-$250 a mistake. Plus as a strictly B&M player on the weekends this was significant loss to my long term profit. Most mistakes would happen late into the night and all of them were preventable if i had just sat back a second and looked at wtf was going on instead of making a hasty assumption. Almost no mistakes were failed bluffs either.

My new goal as of a month ago was no mistakes a session, and so far i cut it down to 1 mistake every 3 sessions which turned my slightly losing sessions to slightly winning ones and that has been huge so far. I figure I've saved $5 an hour or more since making that goal

If you were only making 1 mistake for every 3 sessions you play you'd be hands down the best player in the world. Either you aren't aware of all of your mistakes (my guess), or you actually are the best player in the world and I apologize and put my foot in my mouth.

I believe around 1-2 per 400 to 800 hands, 6 max Fixed LHE.

I try to keep the numbers of mistakes to a low (obviously) but even when i do make a mistake usually it's in a small pot

No matter your definition of "mistake," I seriously doubt this. It would be good for you to be realistic and would work wonders on your game.
