Analyzing games

[Tinmar]

How to analyze your games in poker? When playing online, is there an App which saves all of your hands? Also even if I do have my hands I played how can I know what the best thing to do was?

I use a tracker like PokerTracker or Holdem Manager to save all my hands and review sessions. That way I can look at spots where I lost big or wasn’t sure what to do. For the “best play” part, I’ll check ranges in tools like GTO Wizard or ICMIZER depending on the spot. I don’t treat solver answers as gospel, but they give a good baseline and then I adjust for how people actually play at my stakes.

If you don't have any trackers, you can wrote down notes on a text document or a notepad.
You can write something like "ATs in BU with 20BB vs open from CO", or "hand #XXXX" then look for it and use a replayer, like the Cardschat one. That's a little more of work, but useful if you don't count with a replayer.

Without a doubt I learned insanity amounts through watching Daniel Negreanu specifically because he literally goes through every hand he plays online on GGPoker.

However my greatest learning came from analyzing and pasting screenshots into ChatGPT/Grok(Twitter AI-Free).





Example:

Disclaimer: This is a very simple example. However to some beginners it may not be. ChatGPT is not flawless. Your ability to know HOW TO LEARN (Literally anything) is incredibly important.

However, the biggest issue what I noticed is having comfort to have at least some form of a start or beginning step in learning Poker. ChatGPT excels at it.

I can assure you, using AI such as Grok/ChatGPT will get you an incredibly strong foundation through NLH 0.01/0.02 and 1 dollar tournaments.

Yes there will be moments where ChatGPT gets the hands wrong because it has to analyze the hand. So if you have time. Just type it out.

But it's sure as hell way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than nothing.

Another example that I used where I actually had doubts and thoughts.

ChatGPT output:

Hand review — J♠T♦ on A♣ Q♠ 8♣ Q♣ K♠ 🧠​

TL;DR (grade)​

• Preflop: fine, cheap defend. ✅
• Flop: standard peel with gutshot + backdoors. ✅
• Turn: fold is good—your draw is weak and expensive. ✅
• River straight would have lost often vs flushes/full houses, so folding wasn’t a mistake.

Overall: B+ — disciplined fold, don’t feel bad.

Street-by-street​

Preflop​

• You called JTo vs MP limp.
• BB call is fine (great odds, hand has connectivity). ✅

---

Flop — A♣ Q♠ 8♣ (pot 6bb)​

Villain bets 4bb, you call.

• Your equity: you have a gutshot to the nuts (K). Also two backdoors (runner-runner straight/flush).
• Pot odds: you’re calling 4 to win 10 (≈29%). Your outs (K=4 outs ≈ 8%) aren’t enough on their own, but implied odds (if K hits you often stack them) justify the peel.
• Correct: ✅ call once, but folding wouldn’t be terrible if villain is tight.

---

Turn — Q♣ (pot 14bb)​

Villain bets 8bb, you fold.

• Board texture:
  • Flush completes (third club).
  • Trips on board (Q).
  • Your gutshot still only has 4 outs to the nut straight, and even that straight can lose vs flush or full house.
• Math: you need ~29% equity. You have ≈9% (4 outs to K, and some are dead vs flush).
• Verdict: folding is 100% correct. ✅

---

River — K♠ (pot 14bb if you had called)​

• You would have hit the straight, but:
  • Flushes already got there on the turn.
  • Full houses possible (Qx, AQ, 88).
  • Even when ahead, it’s hard to realize value because villain bets, and you’re never sure if you’re good.
• So folding turn saved you from a -EV spot.

---

Lessons learned ✍️​

• Flop call is fine with implied odds, but don’t marry your hand.
• Turn fold is strong discipline—don’t regret missing the “what if” straight.
• River K would have been dangerous anyway. Not a guaranteed winner.

👉 This was played correctly. You didn’t overextend—calling flop was the limit, folding turn is exactly what a disciplined grinder does.




Hope it helps on your journey and give you more clarity.
