Do you write down hands you aren't sure about?

I've started thinking about keeping track of hands where I genuinely have no idea if I played them correctly.


Not necessarily huge pots, just hands where I'm sitting there afterwards thinking "I really don't know what the right play was."


Do you guys keep a list of hands like that to review later?

I admit it's a problem of mine: I can't stick to a hand range for my position at the table. As a result, I end up betting on the wrong hands.
 
I do that sometimes, especially with hands where I’m still unsure about the decision after the session.
 
What I do is take screenshots of the most interesting hands from the session—usually 5 or 6—and then study them at the end of the day to see what I did.

The easy way is to mark them in your hud for review, or you can just look at when you are reviewing for icm errors.

I write one line on why I'm unsure, not just the hand. Something like "called turn, no idea if he value-bets that thin". After a month most of my notes were the same two spots: facing a turn raise, and calling a river bet with a bluffcatcher. Reviewing five of those a week taught me more than going through fifty random hands. Do you note the doubt itself or only the hand?

So for online it is easy mark the hands or use a tracker if allowed, if not allowed there may be other tools the sites allow.

For live play write hand down or if allowed film it.
