Hand History
A text file record of every action taken in a poker hand, generated by the poker room software. Hand histories contain all the information needed for analysis: hole cards, community cards, bet sizes, positions, and timing. They are the raw data used by HUDs, trackers, and analysis tools to generate statistics and reviews.
Example
After a tough session, you review your hand histories and find that you lost 5 buy-ins calling river bets against tight players. The data reveals a clear leak to fix.
