i've got into a habit of very thoroughly reviewing a few hands every day. Considering pretty much ALL options at every decision point in the hands. I think this is something that has value, my winrate and consistency of winrate have both increased since i started doing so anyway. Sometimes i come up with ideas for non-standard plays in certain situations, then occasionally i end up making these plays ingame (e.g. this one, where i assume that the abc-default play is to shove river, but where i instead bet river $6, and villain raises his one pair hand allin, and i snap-called to stack him) and generally i am comfortable during review regarding whether the play was terrible or not.
This one I was genuinely unsure of - I mean, there is a huge risk of results orientated reinforcement of what could be horrid play here - so i posted the hand. I guess I could obviously have just left out the river betsize that i chose in this Q9s hand, and instead left it blank and received the advice to shove. I figure i (and probably anyone else reading) gain more from the thread by being told something like "bet $6 is terrible, shove is about a million times better". I hope that answers your question.
I just skimmed over the last 20 hands i have posted. There are a few bad plays in there for sure, but a lot that seem more like straightforward questions re what action i should take in a particular spot.
