Reccomendations for reviewing hands after a session

Quite the opposite with me. I discover new things and maybe more like what I should think in that moment instead of what I actually thought in the moment.

That's the thing though. To really get a good analysis, you really want to know what you were thinking at that moment.

What you *should* be thinking in that moment can be very different from what you *were* thinking, and adding commentary afterwards can throw a wrinkle into the mix.

I usually know what I was thinking in the moment. But even if you don't, it is better to know what you should be thinking, in my opinion.

I disagree with this, if the goal of reviewing the video is to figure out spots where you played poorly and why.

If the vid has comments reflecting what you were thinking at the time, then a later review of the movie allows you to compare what you were thinking against what you should have been thinking, and look at reasons why the two might be different. And I think those moments (where you weren't thinking what you should have been) are probably the most important moments to really understand throughout a game.

Also, memory gets colored by things that happen afterwards, so I think it would be really tough to *really* know what you were thinking at the moment.

Then again, like I said, my memory sucks. Maybe that's a lot easier for most of the rest of the world.
