Everything You Need to Improve Your Game
What the Analyzer Evaluates
Every decision in a hand gets checked against four things.
Preflop. Whether the hand belongs in your range from that position, against that action. Opening too wide from early position and folding too tight on the button are the two most common and most expensive preflop leaks, and both show up immediately in aggregate.
Bet sizing. Whether your sizing fits the board texture, the stack-to-pot ratio, and the story you are telling. Players who use one sizing for everything are readable, and the analyzer will tell you if that is you.
Postflop line. Whether the c-bet, the check, the raise, or the fold is the highest-EV action given ranges and position. Where your line and the baseline diverge, you get the reason.
Pot odds and equity. Whether your calls were mathematically justified. This is the most mechanical part of the analysis and the one that produces the most uncomfortable results, because calls that felt fine in the moment often were not.
Across a full session the analyzer aggregates all of it into a leak profile: which positions cost you the most, which spots you misplay repeatedly, and which of your habits are actually fine.
How to Read Your Report
A few things worth knowing, because a hand analysis report can be read badly.
Start with the aggregate, not the hands. The temptation is to go straight to the big pot you lost. That pot is one data point, and it is probably the least informative thing in the file. Open the summary first and find the pattern that appears in forty hands rather than the disaster that appeared in one.
Separate mistakes from bad outcomes. These are not the same thing, and the report distinguishes them. A correct call that lost is not a leak. An incorrect call that won is. Your instinct will be to review the hands where you lost, and your instinct is wrong, because losing a pot and playing badly correlate far less than it feels like they do.
Rank leaks by cost, not by frequency. A small error you make constantly can cost more than a large error you make rarely, or much less. The report tells you which. Fix the expensive one first.
Take one leak at a time. A report showing eight things to work on is not an instruction to work on eight things. Pick the most expensive, drill it, and leave the rest until it is fixed. For structured drilling on preflop and c-bet spots, use the free poker trainer.
How to Analyze a Poker Hand Yourself
The analyzer does this automatically, but knowing the process makes the output far more useful to you. Five steps.
- Reconstruct the hand without the result. Write down positions, stacks, and actions. Deliberately do not think about who won. The result is the most misleading piece of information in the hand, and it will bias everything that follows.
- Assign ranges, starting preflop. What hands would your opponent have with that action from that position? Not what you think they had. What the whole range of hands looks like. Most bad analysis starts here, with a range narrowed to the one hand that would justify what you did.
- Narrow the range on each street. Every action removes hands. A check on a wet flop removes some strong hands. A large turn bet removes most weak ones. By the river the range should be small and specific.
- Compare your line against the alternatives. For each decision, ask what the other options were and what each would have accomplished against the range you just built. Not against their actual hand. Against the range.
- Find the decision, singular, that cost the most. Most hands contain exactly one real mistake. Find it and you have learned something. Rewrite the whole hand and you have learned nothing, because you cannot fix five things at once.
Doing this properly takes fifteen or twenty minutes per hand, which is why almost nobody does it for more than a handful of hands. That is the argument for the analyzer: it applies this process to every hand in the session instead of the three you remembered.
Common Hand-Analysis Mistakes
- Reviewing only the hands you lost. The biggest one. Your worst decisions are frequently in hands you won, and those are the ones that will keep costing you, because nothing told you to look.
- Results-oriented thinking. Judging the decision by the outcome. A call that was right at the time is right regardless of the river. If you review with the result in mind, you will systematically unlearn correct play.
- Reviewing while tilted. A session review done twenty minutes after a bad beat is not a review, it is a grievance. Wait until the next day.
- Only reviewing big pots. Big pots are memorable, not representative. Most players leak out of small, routine, repeated spots.
- Analyzing in isolation. One hand tells you very little about your game. Patterns across hundreds of hands tell you a lot. This is precisely the thing humans are bad at and software is good at.
- Reviewing and then not changing anything. Analysis without a specific change is entertainment. Every review should end with one concrete thing you are doing differently next session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the poker hand analyzer free?
Yes. The web app is free and there is no paid tier. You can see a sample report on this page, and a free account lets you upload your own sessions.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in your browser on mobile and desktop. There is no app to install and no desktop client.
Which poker sites and apps does it support?
Hand histories from ClubGG work natively. Just export your desired hands and upload the ZIP file to the hand analyzer. No editing, format updating or extra steps. Support for other formats is expanding.
How many hands do I need to upload?
One will work and will give you a hand-level analysis. Pattern and leak detection needs volume. A few hundred hands gives you something meaningful, and a thousand or more gives you a reliable picture.
Is the analysis GTO-based?
The baseline comes from solver output, simplified for teaching rather than reproduced exactly. It will tell you what a solver plays most often and why. It is not a substitute for running your own sims in PioSOLVER, and it is not trying to be.
Can I use it for tournaments as well as cash games?
Yes, both. Tournament analysis accounts for stack depth, which changes correct play substantially. Read the two separately rather than as one combined report.
Is using a hand analyzer allowed?
Reviewing your own hand histories away from the table is standard practice and permitted essentially everywhere. Using any tool that gives advice during a live hand is a different matter and is restricted by many operators. Check your site’s rules. This is a study tool, use it between sessions.
What do you do with my hand histories?
They are used to generate your analysis and your leak profile. We look to use your leaks to have you practice with our Poker Trainer App. Your leaks will only show for your profile when using our Poker Trainer app. We do not share them. You can delete them whenever you want.
How is this different from a poker tracker?
A tracker records what happened and shows you statistics. An analyzer tells you whether each decision was correct and why. Trackers answer “what is my VPIP.” Analyzers answer “which of my decisions are costing me.”
Stop Guessing About Your Own Game
Most players know roughly how they played. Almost none of them know precisely where their leaks are, and the gap between those two things is usually several big blinds per hundred hands. Upload a session and find out.
