Quick HH Questions

1.) How do you post your hand histories on this forum in a new thread so i can have you guys help me out and critique me.

2.) Once i know how.....the next question is where?

3.) How many days do you have your hand histories saved?

Hey Patty,

1) To post HH on this forum you can either just straight up copy/paste it directly from the downloaded hand history text file, or you can use one of many hand converters out there that translate the text into easy to read formatted text, or even videos, including CardsChat's own Hand History Converter! I personally use www.pokerhandreplays.com just because for some reason the CardsChat one goes all screwy on me sometimes (it's just me, or my computer, or my browser, so don't let it turn you off to a wonderful tool). They are usually pretty self explanatory, but let me know if you have any questions.

2) Once you've got your hand history, you can post at either:

Tournament Hand Analysis (http://www.cardschat.com/f51/), for all hands from STTs, MTTs and SnGs, or

Ring Game Hand Analysis (http://www.cardschat.com/f50/), for all hands from ring games, either full ring or 6max.

People usually appreciate some context about the hand (i.e. if you have any reads on your opponents, your own table image, what you think about the hand, etc.) in addition to the hand history itself (which can be posted directly as copied text, or as a direct link to the hand history itself).

Also, it is considered basic HH post etiquette to not reveal the result of the hand until you've gotten a few responses. All brag posts and bad-beat stories belong in the appropriately named Tournament Hand guidelines (http://www.cardschat.com/f51/hand-analysis-posting-guidelines-68850/), or the Ring Game Hand guidelines (http://www.cardschat.com/f50/hand-analysis-posting-guidelines-87481/) for specifics.

3) I usually keep my hand histories for 30 days, although I've never really looked at anything more than a week old. I try to analyze my hands while the context surrounding my decisions is still fresh (i.e. was I on tilt, tired, nervous, in a hurry, cool and collected, on a bad run, on a rush, etc.)

Hope that helps! Cheers,

T.

very very very helpful indeed tuble!!!!

seriously thanks so much man, time to post some hands

Very nice post Tublecain. Going to move this to learning poker where it may help a few more people.

An absolute pleasure. When I first started in the forum, I felt a little bit bewildered too; it's so big and there's so many great articles to read and interesting posts that sometimes people don't even know where to start. But once you get the hang of it, I'm sure you will find that this forum, the advice you get here, and the people who give it, just can't be beat. Glad I was able to help get the 'ole ball rolling.

Thanks D'Wilius! Just glad to help others the way others have helped me. Take care!
