Ok rather than playing this evening I've spent a couple of hours reviewing hands that went to showdown using HM2.
I went back and reviewed hands from May this year. it was mainly 2-5c
This was a useful exercise I suggest others try it as well
My findings
1.  I was and still am putting players on flush draws way too often. They  are usually calling with 2nd/3rd pair and or backdoor combos.
2, Two  checks really does mean they don't have anything and some more bluffs in  these circumstances will have netted me a much extra value.
3,  Players with aggression factors over 3 will often take a shot at the pot  on the flop or turn with air and then slow down if called.
4. Big bets and re-raises on the turn or river usually mean the nuts especially at the lower stakes
5. Most are calling with any old garbage in the big blind.
6.  Fish call to the river with any pair or back door flush run combos then  check when they miss or bet big when they hit.... I was missing way to  much thin value on the river by checking back.
7. I had regular good chuckle at the total garbage I was seeing a lot of opponents with at showdown.
8.  As an exercise I'm generally pretty good at judging players ranges from  their combined vpip and pfr stats, I actually think I'm quite strong in  this area (I am an analyst in the real world) and I have been working  on the ace poker drills equity trainer.
9, I was opening too early  and calling with too many trouble hands, some thing I have now  rectified. I am now happy with my preflop play.
10. Did I really call some of those hands which were obviously the nuts oh dear..
