Hi all

I have been trying to find a way to work out the biggest flaws (out of a few) in my game - let's say in MP
Some kind of categorisation of hands to identify and concentrate on the most obvious flaws, ignore bad luck etc. separate into bidding versus play, declarer vs defence, missed an obvious overtrick etc
I don't obsess over double dummy at all, and prefer to compare with the field after a small tourney
If I bid a modal contract, or one of two, and even play modally I am not too upset - I prefer the higher of two modes rather than the lower though
If I manage occasionally to bid a better contract than the field then I am very content
I can then concetrate on the rest where you messup the bidding, or misunderstand partner, or it is bad luck or anything, I can then focus on the weakest parts
It does seem a lot of work though. I know the best way is usually just to have a good partner and talk about it
etc

has anyone ever looked into that kind of approach
I always think that while bidding and play are important, if you totally miss one of a few good contracts it does not matter how good your card play is
I even thought of going further and analysing the impact on the MP score
But I don't realy want to destroy the fun of just playing and forgetting
