I am curious as to how the mid/high stakes players on here approach applying what you're studying to when you're actually playing, meaning do you actively think about "ok, yesterday I went over a similar spot to this and I know I need to be calling/bluffing/raising here more/less (or at x%)?" or do you try to make decisions based off of a more free-flowing thought process and rely on what you're studying to making it's way into your thought process' via osmosis.

Hope my question makes sense!

flow

I try not to think to actively about grander strategies while actually playing, but focus on that whilst studying.

When I play, I save/write down hands and look through them after and use the spot to consider what to do with range, or different action and so on. Through repetition, I will be able to find patterns and both consciously and subconsciously apply them.

When I find spots where I am over or under doing something, I will first go through solvers and hand histories to find spots where I could be doing it, and find some basic hypothesis on where I should be adjusting my play. Only after that, do I try to really apply it in my play, because if you just change your frequency without understanding why or when very well, you will just fool yourself into thinking you're doing something to improve your game, when you're just needlessly complicating your strategy and doing something you're not used to.

Very helpful - thanks!
