Things I Do

What do I do well? I thought I would make a list.

I know correct hand ranges for opening the pot in and out of position.
I know how to attack weakness with bluffs/semi-bluffs.
I know how to take someone down to Value Town.
I know how to play in position against weak opponents.
I know how to properly size bets depending on situations.
I know how to determine hand strength.
I know what it takes to stay mentally tough.
I know how to exploit my tight image.
I know how to release a hand.
I know how to switch gears.
I know how to translate board texture and table texture.
I have good money management.

What do I need to work on?

I need to not let my emotions control my actions.
I need to lose all distractions affecting my play.
I need to learn to pick off bluffs.
I need to avoid getting bluffed.
I need to become more aggressive in position.
I need to not worry about my plus/minus and concentrate on each hand.
I need to get to level 3.5/4 thinking.
I need to get finances in order to play optimally.
I need to be more patient when donkeys go on heaters.
I need to see the big picture while in the trenches.
I need to not involve other people when I'm upset.
I need to realize that Rome was not built in a day.
