Poker Hand History Review: Analyze and Improve

## Reviewing Your Poker Hands for Improvement Regular hand history review is the most effective way to find and fix leaks in your game. Players who review consistently improve faster than those who simply play more volume. ## Setting Up Hand Histories Enable hand history saving in your poker room settings. ACR/BCP and PokerStars save standard files. GGPoker provides PokerCraft but limited exports. Import files into PokerTracker 4 or Hold'em Manager 3. ## Structured Review Process 1. Review biggest losing hands (potential errors). 2. Review biggest winners (confirm sound play). 3. Filter for specific situations (3-bet pots, c-bet spots). 4. Review marked/tagged hands from your session. ## What to Look For VPIP above 28% (6-max) or 22% (full ring) = too loose. C-bet below 55% = missing value. Fold to 3-bet above 70% = exploitable. Large river losses = calling too wide. Positional win rate imbalance = leaky positions. ## Solver Comparison For key hands, run them through GTO Wizard or PioSolver to compare your play against theoretically optimal strategy. Note deviations and assess whether they were deliberate exploits or mistakes. ## Frequency and Duration Review for 30-60 minutes after each session, or dedicate 2-3 hours weekly to deep review. Focus on one leak per review session for maximum impact rather than trying to fix everything at once.
