Prepare your session.
Start with a pre-game check-in and a clear focus. Keep your study questions close.
Your live sessions.
Your next study questions.
Keep Live Journal beside the simulator. Capture the hands, decisions and player tendencies you want to revisit after the session.
Capture the details.
Record the action and sizing, assign players to seats, and keep notes on the tendencies you observe.
Review with a purpose.
Revisit the hands afterward. Choose one question to explore against a similar player type in the simulator.
A SIMPLE CONNECTIONFrom a table note
From a table note
to a practice goal.
A useful note records what happened and what you are uncertain about. That gives your next simulator session a starting point.
EXAMPLE STUDY NOTE
“The big blind called twice. I wasn’t sure what my river bet was targeting.”
Next practice goal: follow the calling range through each street and explain a value target before choosing the river size.
Illustrative example. Journal hands and simulator deals remain separate.Keep the question. Practice the decision.
Build a table, play a hand, and give your next action a clear purpose.
