I'm largely a STT player but I'm adding 1hr of 4-tabling .05/.10 a day to my routine. I review my sessions approx 1hr per 1hr of play except I'm not sure what to look for in cash games. I'm guessing that i'm going to look for hands where I win or lose more than 10% of my stack and specific hands like pocket pairs, suited connectors, etc.. Does this look like I'm on the right track? Anything you all would add?

Thx in advance.

Just look up the hands where you have doubts! Don't look at winnings or losings.

Well, look at spots where you are unsure and post the hands, look where you are lossing the most money.

Personally I like to look at any hands where I won or lost more than, say, 10bb.

And it's good that you're looking to review both won and lost hands. Obv. most people only look at the latter but just because you won the hand doesn't mean you played it well.

Agree with quux - I usually just sort the hands of the session by absolute BBs won/lost, review the top 10-20, evaluate the winning hands by seeing if I could have extracted more value or if I sucked out what did I do wrong, evaluate the losing hands by seeing what I could have done to lose less/not lose at all.

Reviewing by 10ish BBs won/lost, and spots where I was unsure duly noted. Now that I think about my OP again I should probably save looking at specific types of hands(PPs,SCs,etc) until I have 20-40K hands in my database, correct? How much, and when should I be looking at my vpip,pfr,3bet,steal,etc stats?
