Do You Ever Review Your Losing Hands?

Most players love reviewing big wins, but the biggest lessons often come from losing hands.
Analyzing mistakes helps you identify leaks and avoid repeating them in the future. Sometimes you'll discover that a hand you thought was unlucky was actually played incorrectly.

Yes, friend, I do it daily. I take screenshots of hands I lose or interesting hands with big pots. I take 5-6 and then when I have time I review them carefully to make notes about what I did.

A maioria dos jogadores adora rever grandes vitórias, mas as lições mais importantes geralmente vêm das mãos perdidas.
Analisar os erros ajuda a identificar falhas e evitar repeti-las no futuro. Às vezes, você descobrirá que uma mão que você achava que era de azar foi, na verdade, jogada incorretamente.
Com que frequência você revisa suas mãos perdedoras?

Nowadays it's rare, but I want to return, it helps a lot to improve the way I play right, it's already changed my decisions a lot

Im used to mark hands every time I play. Usually there's 40-60 hands marked for analysis, regardless if I win or lose, they're more about doubts or though decisions

I often analyze the hands that I have lost. It helped me make fewer mistakes.

burro · Jun 10, 2026

Yes, especially in the hands where I lost a lot of chips.
I don't always review the games right away, but I like to come back to them later and try to understand if it was just bad luck or if I could have played differently. I've learned a few things like that.

Inspite of the so called reviewing, 99% ordinary players repeat the same mistake of playing that hand in that same incorrect manner!
Only the remaining 1% high-level professional players have the ability to divorce princess looking hands on any tables!

Nowadays, never. I only play as a hobby, so I don't have time to dedicate to reviewing hands. If I win, great. If I lose, I just move on to the next tournament.

TheniT · Jun 11, 2026

It should be done every day. I admit I don't do it every day, but I try to do it whenever I have doubts about certain plays.

NSX_Amfe2nat · Jun 11, 2026

yes, it is important part of studying

frnandoh · Jun 11, 2026

Nowadays I'm very lazy. But in this year, I pretend to begin to make a good effort for improving my game play. I think I need to review my hands at least once per week. I will begin to post more about my hands on forum and comment more about the hands posted by other CCMates.

Mr.$t0k · Jun 11, 2026

I generally don't like to analyze losing hands, but I understand that it is necessary to do this for my self-development, and that is why I do it periodically.

dzsire · Jun 11, 2026

Of course.
It can be very helpful to understand your opponent’s cards and recognize how you both react to each other’s plays. This is also essential for improvement.

odonob · Jun 11, 2026

I usually play multiple freeroll satellites so would not normally review many hands. If I was deep in a tournament and lost then I would review my last few hands. If you build up enough experience you should find that you kind of know how situations play out. Also to remain mentally fresh I don’t review many hands.

RomboPro777 · Jun 11, 2026

I sometimes analyze, but only verbally with my brother!

hardongear · Jun 11, 2026

Hell yes. I mark winning, losing, questionable hands, plus hands I think I might have played bad or hands I found interesting at the time.

Cheers!!!

leomarinho · Jun 11, 2026

Interesting, I don't review the tournaments I play, it's a great idea, thank you!

CDNMAN 42 · Jun 11, 2026

The hand replay for analysis is so easy on Replay poker that I regularly go back over hands-wins and losses = to try to correct my errors...darn keep making them. errors that is...

lwccasz · Jun 11, 2026

I always check through the Pokerstars system, send it to the gpt chat and ask for an analysis of what could have been done differently.
Unfortunately, in the other Apps, I didn't find a review of previously played hands.

rhoudini · Jun 11, 2026

Back when poker was more than just a hobby for me, reviewing losing hands was part of my routine. In fact, I learned far more from mistakes than from big wins. Nowadays I play mainly for entertainment, so I rarely go back and analyze sessions unless there was a particularly unusual hand that sticks in my mind.

Facts, I've noticed this when I screen recorder a MTT a few months ago, I haven't started properly reviewing my hands yet but I'm looking to start this weekend

bowserdon · Jun 11, 2026

Almost always,WHY O WHY

FoxMS · Jun 11, 2026

Reviewing losing hands is the best way to improve. Whenever I take a tough loss, I always check my hand history to see what went wrong and why I took that line...

Obviously, reviewing lost hands is the best oportunity to find our leaks.
