Review hands like a researcher
A useful hand review does not end at “correct” or “wrong.” Its job is to produce a rule you can test in nearby spots. Solver libraries are models with chosen ranges, rake, stacks, and bet trees; this app is more limited still. Its preflop charts are hand-built or Nash-anchored, and its postflop grades are heuristic estimates. Use surprising output to form questions, not to manufacture certainty.
- Reconstruct first.Record formation, effective stack, rake/format, sizes, ranges, and the decision you faced.
- Predict before reveal.Write the range action, threshold, and reason before opening feedback.
- Compare neighbors.Change one variable—board class, size, stack, or position—and find what flips.
- Compress and retrieve.Write one conditional heuristic, then drill it later among mixed spots.
Worked study block: 30 minutes, one question
| Time | Action | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Choose one marked BTN-vs-BB c-bet hand and predict both ranges. | A falsifiable hypothesis. |
| 10 min | Compare A-high dry, low connected, paired, and monotone flops. | A texture table, not combo notes. |
| 5 min | Inspect which hand classes cross the bet/check threshold. | One boundary. |
| 5 min | Write: “Bet more when…, check more when…, because…”. | A conditional heuristic. |
| 5 min | Close the solution and answer five mixed flop prompts. | Retrieval, not recognition. |
