Some hands uploaded, so there is something to look at.

The replayer takes one hand out of your session and lays it out action by action, with the solver's strategy beside the decision you are on. It is where you see what the balanced play was, and the jump-off point for studying the same spot in more depth.

Open a hand and stop on the decision

  1. Click a hand in a session's hand list.
  2. Use the street tabs to jump to Preflop, Flop, Turn or River.
  3. Step one decision at a time with Prev action and Next action.
  4. Stop on the decision you want to understand.

The replayer fills the screen as its own page, with the FlopHero header still above it, so your way back is always in reach. Close replayer, the X in the top-left corner, closes it when you are done.

Get your bearings

A context bar runs across the top with the site, stake and format the hand came from, the stack, and the pot, so you know which game you are looking at from the start.

On the felt, your cards are the ones dealt face up; every other seat's cards stay face down. Your opponents appear under the names your hand history carries, each with a position and a stack. On hands from sites that deal anonymous tables you see an ID code instead of a screen name, because that is what the site recorded.

Read the solver's strategy

The strategy panel on the right shows the solver's play for the decision you have stopped on. Its action bar pairs each action with the frequency the solver takes it, so you can read the balanced mix for that decision.

When the solver splits a decision across more than one action, each option has its own frequency.

The panel also shows the solver's range as a matrix, with one tab for the acting player's range and one for their exact hand. Beside them, an Analysis tab marked NEW summarizes the spot.

Replayer Display Settings, Matrix and Analysis covers reading the matrix, changing what the panel shows, the BB and $ currency toggle, and the Analysis tab in full.

Move between hands without leaving

The up and down arrows in the navigation step to the hand before or after this one. To work through many hands in a row, open the Controls panel: it slides a paginated mini hand-list out beside the table, so you can move between hands without closing the replayer.

The list has an EV Loss % column, the expected value a decision gave up, as a percentage of the pot.

Study the spot in Strategies

When one hand is not enough and you want to explore the decision on its own, the book icon, the Study control, sends the exact spot into Strategies, already set up for you. Reach for it whenever a spot leaves you unsure.

To read the hand exactly as it was dealt, the control labeled View Hand History text opens its raw text.

Questions

Why does a hand not open in the Replayer?

On the Free plan, clicking a row only selects it: opening a hand in the Replayer needs a paid plan, and nothing on screen says so: a click that appears to do nothing is the expected behaviour there. On a paid plan, the hand still has to carry a solution your plan covers. The Sessions Dashboard and The Hand Replayer cover both cases.

From Fixing Common Problems

How do I study a spot in Strategies?

On mobile, open the hand in the Hand replayer and tap Study this spot. On desktop, open the hand from the Trainer's history and use Study This Spot, which does the same in a new tab. Both send the exact spot into Strategies, already set up for you. The Hand Replayer covers the Replayer side.
