I liked the format. I am guilty myself of trying to study too much when it comes to spots that almost never come up.

It's been a pleasure having you and many of the new coaches added to the RIO team, @DanSmith. Keep it up. Love to see more content like this examining how to improve.

One of the reasons I’m such a big proponent of hand review it forces you to review situations that actually come up. If I make a mistake in a situation ill try to learn the spot as a whole .

Some other thoughts

1 If you are aware of the mistakes you’re making, and you sense a pattern (ie missing flop bets vs small bets… drill that until your weakness is hopefully no longer a weakness
2 how likely is it to come up ie (single raised pots vs bb are super common and a great place to start )
3 Is it costly ; you want to make sure the thing you are studying can make a difference. Certain short stack spots the EV is always going to be in like the hundredth of a big blind so being precise there isn’t really the most efficient use of time .
4 Sometimes I just randomize the positions : stack depths : srp/3b/4b just to force myself to look at things I otherwise might not have. And also I think it does a good job of simulating “real poker”… bc at the table you never know what’s gonna come up
