I've played for a couple of years for fun after getting into the game from home games with friends, and tried to pick the game up by only playing and watching some videos here and there.  That clearly isn't good enough for me to really improve so I'm going to try and set up some study topics to get me going.  As a new player of course I need to understand fundamentals and avoid consistently making big mistakes before moving on to the smaller details.  I've picked up some of the basics here and there from videos and discussion. I'm still clearly struggling on some basics, like playing too many hands out of position.  

I can work on that, but feel like I have to get very specific in my study or it's just too much to try and find and plug all leaks at once.  I'm not at the level of getting benefit from all kinds of hand history discussions or videos of live play and hand history reviews because I don't have the fundamentals to analyse all sorts of different types of hands.  Today I decided to try this:

Play 500 hands at a time and then stop and review:

1) make a filter in pokertracker to review only hands played on the button where I played in the hand.  Pick out a few interesting ones and work though the basics - my preflop range and range of opponent, hand reading through the hand, SPR, possible equity, opponent profiling, possible lines, analyse flop texture, plan for hand etc.

2) quickly go over big pots where I lost a lot of money and see if I'm making a big mistake

Post a couple of hands after each 500 hand session.

Also study theory videos and work with PPT.

How does this sound?  After working on the button for some time I could then focus on more specific spots such as each type of flop, or move on to playing from another position.
