This post is addressed to anyone looking for better feedback to your hand review questions.
To get the best information, you should make sure you start your poker story correctly.
1. Name the game: e.g. 1/2 NLHE.
2. State your seating position: e.g (UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2, LJ, HJ, CO, BTN,SB,BB)
3. State your hole cards: Each card abbreviated using the following: AKQJT98765432
Refer to both cards. If they are the same suit, use the suffix s. If they are off-suit, use o.
E,g AKs (hearts)or KQo. If it is relevant, you can state the suits. (ie.g. if play results in flush draws, this info may be germaine.
5. Describe the pre-flop action up to you, then you and followers: e.g Action folds around to LJ who calls, HJ raises to 3BB, CO folds and Hero 3-bets from the button to 7BB whilst the blinds fold. LJ subsequently folds and HJ calls.
6. State the pot size at end of each round of betting. E.g. The pot is now 16.5BB plus antes.
7. Describe the flop using the aforementioned card abbreviation Flop is QJT (all hearts).
8. Describe post flop action similarly (but naming only those players in the hand).
9. Repeat descriptions for Turn and River (cards and betting with pot size).
10. You are the HERO. Your opponent(s), the VILLAIN(s).
Note: talking in terms of the number of Big Blinds is far more useful than a chip denominations. Ie, he 4-bet to 10BB rather than 4-bet to 125,000 chips (the latter being almost meaningless as it has no context).
The above may be imperfect, and some people will want to see the suits every time, but essentially this will describe your game more clearly so that contributors will be able to give you clearer, more appropriate feedback.
Hope this helps everyone!
Cheers,
