I think your idea is valid and one many of us follow otherwise  charts with starting hands would not exist in the first place. Not sure I quite understand the need for lamination. Print a sheet of paper (no glare) and print another as needed.

Absolutely- with so many scenarios presented it's important some decisions become automatic. However, it is also important not to go into auto-pilot. Every so often I will cue up a live stream (recorded) of a high level pro event and make simple notes (I do not want to drill down to boredom).

I make a note of opening hands. I note the flop, turn and river, and simply who won. That provides a wealth of info.First - actual as opposed to theoretical opening hands.

Some pros open with a wide range others are very disciplined. What it showed is I tended to do too much by rote. I would technically make the right play, odds wise, but was limiting risk too much. Its something which I constantly need to work on (essentially playing too tight) because others do not play that way (i.e. make the most sensible play) and yet they are as successful as I am.

So while I agree wholeheartedly with you regarding opening ranges becoming automatic I also think it vital to develop an intuitive sense of play also and attempt to balance both.
