Review sessions regularly
Set aside time each week to review your play. Filter for your biggest losing hands and spots where you deviated from optimal strategy.
Tips and best practices
- Your sample size matters — you need at least 10,000-20,000 hands before drawing meaningful conclusions from your stats.
- Focus on process (making good decisions) rather than short-term results. Variance can distort results over small samples.
- Even without HUD support at Bodog Poker, post-session analysis is valuable for finding leaks.
- Compare your stats to winning player benchmarks: VPIP 20-28%, PFR 15-22%, 3-Bet 6-10% for 6-max NLHE.
