Working out if a hands worth playing

We recently in the forum received a tip that you should consider looking at doing for any cards that you like to play yet are unsure if they are worth playing. This is a tip that should help you in the long-term!
Here is a cut and paste of the tip

"If you are wondering whether a certain approach is working. (remember that we only focus on the bad points) try this:

If say you play 9 10 a lot from the back. Record for a month how much you spend in chips doing it and record how much you win playing that hand.

It helps makes long term decisions."

This is a simple yet highly effective tip. Basically if you are finding that you play as in the example above hands such as 9,10 andwant to know if they do actually work out profitable then simply for 1 month note down how many times you win & how much when you play that hand and how many times you lose & how much.

If at the end of the month you are finding that you are losing more than you are winning then you know that it's time you maybe stopped playign this hand!
