I'm curious what's your TR process - do you quickly capture important hands right after the hand and then write a detailed TR later on or are you writing it as you go? Or are you a genius replaying all this from memory later?
Thanks, hugely appreciated
My thought process is definitely flawed at times, but I try to base a lot of it on what I have learned at '
Crush Live Poker'. So if you want to improve your game, I strongly suggest to sign up there. And I can guarantee I am not paid to say this.
I am writing down quick details as soon as the hand is finished, and when I then get in front of a computer I just need to look at my notes to jog the memory and remember the hand, the opponent types etc. A typical note can look like this (I write parts of it in Norwegian for myself, but would work just as well in English):
"Two l3 raise ATdd 16 CO, BB call, l-f. T-9-4 two c one d. C $15 fold."
(two limps for $3, I raise ATdd to $16 from cutoff, BB calls, and limpers fold. T-9-4 two clubs one diamond. He checks, I bet $15, he folds).
After doing this for all trips for 6 years now (where did the time go?), I am very used to it and have found a system that works for me. If I have a specific strategic thought during a hand that I think is important to mention, I also try to include it. But most of the times it's not really necessary, as it all comes back to me when I read the short version.
(and I am very honest with the thought process I have during hands, both good and bad).
