indi,

some may disagree with this, but i think the lower on the learning curve you are relative to your opponents and whatnot, the greater the % of your total poker time should be spent studying. and yes, studying includes looking over your own hands.

once you're good, and have played a lot, and studied a lot, chances are that you know when you close your eyes at the end of the session (or earlier) when you [censored] up. most pros still go over hand histories, as far as i know, to see not only if they made any obvious mistakes, but if they can find spots where they missed anything not so huge.

i'm pretty sure that newt, for one, was a meticulous reviewer of his games, and continues to do so even now that i don't think he plays stts any more.

anyway, i could probably write a chapter of a book (lol) about reviewing your own play. but i have a final exam to tend to, so maybe later.
