I've been realizing I have some brain fog when I'm put into spots that I don't know what to do automatically. As I play more and improve on and off the table the amount of fog goes down, the harder and more I work the better and better it will continue to get. What I'm trying to do in the meantime is create a mental checklist I can go through and rely on when I get put in a bad spot or when the pressure is on, something I can rely on to sort through the confusion in that moment. It will at least slightly improve my ability to come to a rational solution at the table.

Here are some of the thoughts I have so far. 

Two different check lists? One for facing aggression and one for being the aggressor?

In Hand Checklist:
Calling:
1.) What odds are you getting?
2.) What is your opponents range?
-Are they capable of bluffing? How often?
3.) Am I attached to the hand emotionally? 
Betting:
1.) What is the pot size?
2.) Are you bluffing or value betting? 
3.) What are your opponents range?
- If you bet 2/3rd pot, what calls/folds?
- Scale it each way and see what changes.
4.) If you're bluffing what's the least you can bet to get the job done? If you're value betting what's the most you can bet? 
5.) Are you trying to force a situation that shouldn't be forced?
