Remember that you need a good sample of >200 hands to start extracting useful data. Normal values between 1 to 3.Ģ) CB: Continuation bet percentage : how often the player bets the flop when he is the initial bettor.ģ) WTSD%: Went to ShowDown percentage: Indicates if player likes to call you down to the river often.Īll these numbers are just indicators. Helps you if you want to steal from the original raiser by 3betting often.Īdditional Popular Stats (for postflop game):ġ) AF: Aggression factor of player (how often he raises, reraises in general). Around 3% means re-raising only with good hands (Big Pairs & AK and some AQ)Ĥ) F3: Fold to 3-bet percentage (self-explanatory). The bigger the gap between VPIP and PFR, the more passive the player is.ģ) 3B: 3-bet percentage preflop, how often the player re-raises. The higher the stat, the looser the playerĢ) PFR: Preflop Raise. You don’t have to follow exactly my methods and timing but you have to start using your HM2 and do HH reviews regularly if you want to stay ahead of the learning curve.Usually, for preflop play it goes like this:ġ) VPIP: Voluntarily Put Money in Pot, i.e. After color-coding all those stats, it’s now easier to find opponents’ leaks and exploit their mistakes. I have also applied the HUD that Leak Buster offers with the subscription but added some additional stats. I am sure you can be creative enough to take everything I have written here and make your own method of hand history review and optimize how much time you should be spending on it. I have been a customer of Poker Tracker since 2006 but I use Holdem Manager 2 nowadays. This is what I am doing to improve and stay ahead of the curve. You can also use this when you are studying a particular spot and want to know how you are doing on a daily basis. I usually use this method during the weekend to analyze my game for the whole week. Method 2 only works when you have a decent amount of sample size. I don’t suggest going through 100% of your hands if you play a crazy amount of volume but at least spend 30-60 minutes a day doing this. Is folding or raising more +EV than calling?ĭepending on how many hands you play a day the time to evaluate your HH will differ. You should be using method 1 at least once every day and asking questions like: I do HH reviews two ways, one is going through each hand from the biggest pot to the smaller pots and the second method is buy using HM2 filters to analyze a particular spot. Most players know they should be doing it but don’t quite know how. Finding, reviewing and acknowledging a hand well played sets you up to make the right decision again the next time the opportunity present itself on the tables. Secondly, knowing what you did right is as important as knowing what you did wrong. Chances are you will make more mistakes during a downswing than an upswing and you have the opportunity to find and fix that so you would not repeat the same mistakes the next time you are having a downswing. The two biggest reasons you will fail to do a HH review is, either having such a bad session that it is just too painful to go through each hand or its too good of a session that you think you played perfectly and have nothing to learn from it.įirstly, it is twice as important to do a HH review when you are having a downswing. This is certainly not the fun part of being a poker player but it is necessary to improve your game.
This will sometimes be very mundane as you improve your game and make less mistakes or if you are not working on any particular strategy at the moment.
Staying ahead of the curve is discovering leaks and spots other players are not playing attention to and this will truly separate you from the rest of the regulars by finding and fixing leaks that you never knew exist before or finding and exploiting new spots that others are not aware of. The few benefits of HH reviews are:īy knowing something is working you can consciously find for more of those spots to exploit your opponent and by knowing something isn’t working you can work on finding a better strategy around it. That is right, by analyzing your own game which is actually doing HH reviews. While reading and watching strategy books and videos are good for learning, how would you know that you have applied the strategies correctly? How do you improve beyond what you have read and watch? Why is it that important to do HH reviews?Īs a poker player you need to have a balance between playing hands and studying the game. There are many other benefits of having HM2 and using it to do Hand History Review is an off table study activity all poker players should be doing. That is definitely the number 1 reason to get HM2 but it does not end there. The first instinct to buy Holdem Manager 2 is usually to get an edge by getting stats on your opponents. How many hours do you spend a day, a week or a month doing hand history reviews? Kitsune101 from sent along this blog and we couldn't agree more.
