Negative Skill Dollar Amount on a Street
I find that when I play cash game and review my results at the end of the session, 90 % of the time
I have positive skill dollars for all streets but I may have one or more streets with a negative skill
dollar amount. Is there a way to review the specific hands that caused the negative results so I can
begin to eliminate the action from my game.

Maybe I need to clarify my question. My total skill dollars may be positive yet the skill dollars on
Preflop (or Flop or Turn or River) may be negative. I would like to review the hands that caused the Preflop negative dollars.
Hi, I don't think that would be too valuable because within any session those numbers can be tremendously skewed just by the distribution of the hands. So hands that send you negative may be "mistakes" only in an all cards face up sense. I think you are better off viewing the hands that are flagged as questionable plays or the ones where you lost the most money (and see if there was a way you could have gotten out and lost less). Both of those types of hands are show on your reports.
If you do notice that you consistently have negative scores on one particular street, then I would definitely recommend looking at the hands flagged by the analyzer or big loss hands and evaluating your play on that particular street.
