Tips and best practices
- Develop a habit of mentally reviewing key hands after each session.
- Focus your analysis on hands where you were unsure of the correct play — these are your biggest learning opportunities.
- Review winning hands too — you might discover you got lucky in spots where your play was actually incorrect.
- Use equity calculators (like Equilab) alongside hand history to check if your calls and folds were mathematically correct.
