Why Some Hands Aren't Analyzed

Why your analyzed count is often lower than your total hand count, where the two counts appear, what each Not Analyzed reason means, and how to see exactly which hands were skipped.

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

After an upload, your analyzed count is often lower than your total hand count. A gap between the two counts is expected, and the upload still worked. FlopHero analyzes a hand when it has a solved strategy that matches it, so a hand with no match stays in your history with no strategy behind it. Nothing is lost.

Where the two counts are

Open Sessions in the Tracker. Each session is one row with two columns: Hands, the number of hands in that session, and Analyzed, how many of them FlopHero analyzed. When Analyzed is lower, the difference is the hands that were not analyzed.

Your Database shows the same split. Under the Files tab, each session file has a Hands column and a GTO Analysis column, so you can read the gap one file at a time.

The Files & Database table: each upload with how many hands it carried and how many of them the solver has graded.

Why a hand has no analysis

  • Tournament hands. Multi-table tournament (MTT) hands upload and appear in your history, but no matching solution exists for them, so they stay unanalyzed.
  • Stakes outside your plan. FlopHero's analysis is stake-specific: rake (the cut the site takes from each pot) differs at each stake, so a solution is tied to one specific stake. If you play stakes your plan does not cover, those hands are not analyzed. Plans and Pricing shows which stakes each plan reaches.
  • Big multiway pots. Postflop analysis covers two-player pots. When three or more players go to the flop, that spot may have no matching solution.
  • A site or file type FlopHero does not read. Open the Supported Sites section in the Upload window to see whether your site is covered. Supported Sites and Formats has the full list of sites and file types FlopHero reads.

What the label says

FlopHero has set wording for twelve reasons a hand goes unanalyzed. Every label opens with one of three phrases, which groups the reasons. This is what each one says:

Nothing to grade: there was no decision of yours the solver could grade.

  • Nothing to grade: folded to your BB. Everyone folded to your big blind, so you had no decision to make.
  • Nothing to grade: no matching Hero action. None of your actions in this hand matched a solver decision we can grade.

No solution: no solver solution matches the hand.

  • No solution: limped pot. The pot was limped, and no solved line covers an open-limp from that position.
  • No solution: non-standard open size. The opening raise was a size the solved tree does not hold.
  • No solution: straddled pot. A straddle was posted in that hand.
  • No solution: ante / dead money in pot. The pot started with an ante or other dead money already in it.
  • No solution: missed blind posted. Someone posted a missed blind.
  • No solution: unsupported blind structure. The blinds at that table are not a structure FlopHero solves.
  • No solution: off the solved line. There is a solution for the spot, but your line went off the solved tree.
  • No solution: multiway pot. Postflop analysis covers two-player pots, so a hand with more than two players has no matching solution.
  • No solution: spot not covered. FlopHero has no solver solution for the spot yet, and no more specific reason it could name.

Analysis failed: the problem is on our side.

  • Analysis failed: no result. FlopHero could not grade the hand. The problem is on our side.

Apart from Analysis failed, each one describes the hand as it was played. The file still uploaded, and the hand stays in your history.

See which hands were skipped

  1. Open the Filters panel on the Sessions page.
  2. Find the Analysis filter in the General tab.
  3. Pick Not Analyzed to list the hands with no analysis.

The filter has one Not Analyzed bucket, so a straddled pot and an off-tree line land in the same list.

Decision Quality explains what that grade means, alongside the other decision-quality grades. When you want the full list back, the foot of the panel has Reset and Apply.

What to do about it

For most players, nothing. The hands are in your history. The rest of the session is analyzed as usual.

If a whole session looks stuck instead of a few hands, its row in the Database has a Retry processing button. Fixing Common Problems walks through what to check when a file will not process.

Questions

Missing or stuck analysis

Each session shows a Hands count and a separate GTO Analysis count. The analyzed number can be lower, because some hands have no matching solution. Why Some Hands Aren't Analyzed explains which ones.

A skipped hand can carry the reason with it, as in No solution: straddled pot. All twelve wordings are listed in that article.

If a whole session looks stuck instead of a few hands, its row has a Retry processing button.

From Fixing Common Problems

Is there a limit on how many hands I can analyze?

On a paid plan, no. Free is the state you land in once a trial ends, and it gives you a small number of hands each day in the Trainer and in Strategies rather than full use, reset at midnight UTC. If you hit a limit and it does not look right, contact support with what you saw.
