I especially like DP's point that you shouldn't be too focused on the wrong things. I see this most often in students who review the hands they lost money on and become convinced that they should have folded and start to see monsters under the bed. It is dangerous to change things unless you really understand what you are doing right or wrong. I've found that tweaking my game has unintended consquences sometimes. Thanks for the comments, folks.

It's something I've started to do recently but my motives for doing it initially were a little off-base. To start with I was playing back winning hands as a painkiller after a losing session. Now I'm looking at the winning hands for the correct reasons... did I suck out on the opponent, did I make a correct call, could I have extracted an extra bet on the turn or river... I know what you mean about the sixth sense. I've benefitted from my own a couple of times but it's rare that I feel completely in the zone.
