Understanding how to read and interpret hand histories is essential for improving your poker strategy. On replay-poker.com, the hand history format is designed to provide a clear, detailed summary of every action that occurred during a hand. Whether you’re analyzing your own play, reviewing an opponent’s strategy, or sharing hands for community feedback, knowing how to read a hand history can give you a significant edge.
This guide will break down how Replay Poker presents hand histories and how to use them to enhance your game awareness and decision-making.
What Is a Hand History?
A hand history is a text-based record of everything that happens during a poker hand — from the deal to the final showdown. It includes information such as player names, chip stacks, betting actions, board cards, and results. On Replay Poker, these hand histories are generated automatically and can be reviewed in real time or after the session.
Hand histories help players revisit decisions, study betting patterns, and identify strategic adjustments needed for future hands.
