I just played a short session, and played very poorly. This was to be expected. I think I'm going to filter out fast tables on Stars, because I had trouble concentrating in a few situations. This was my train of thought in one hand:

Folded to me in MP, I have 88. Raise. Weaktight supernit who never 3-bets calls on the button. Blinds fold. Flop is J54 rainbow. Hmm, how much of his range hit that? Probably just JJ+ and AJ. Maybe 44-TT, but he is extremely nitty. If I cbet, what part of his range calls and what part....

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!

Fuck it, I'll c-bet.

I think I played poorly because I feel that I played poorly. In the past, my perception of how I played in a particular session was probably heavily influenced by the results, despite my efforts to be objective (not to mention the fact that deep down, I know the results are irrelevant in such a small sample). Furthermore, my perception of the results were not always accurate before checking them. Sometimes I'd estimate that I dropped a few buyins when I in fact had got winner. To me, this means that my appraisal of my play is now more honest, because I really don't know how much I won or lost today, and so the results are less likely impair my judgment.

I have some kinks to work out with my HUD. When it displays mucked cards, it places them above the wrong people. This probably has something to do with my preferred seat, but I haven't managed to correct it yet.

As you can see in my thought process above, I did make a concerted effort to put people on ranges and base decisions upon them. It is by no means second nature to me, is time consuming, and needs a lot of work. Hopefully I'll improve soon with practice. Today I'm just getting my feet wet and logging some hands. I still have a good feel for preflop hand selection, but my postflop game needs work. Hopefully 10k will be enough hands at this level to replug my bigger leaks and improve on hand reading
