Hands view or Spin view?

The Review page offers two alternative views of your history: a list of hands with the Hands view, or a list of tournaments with the Spins view.

Selector to choose between the Hands view and the Spins view on the Review page.
You can choose either the Hands view or the Spins view.

Both views share the same global filters in the filter panel (period, buy-in, room, game type) but offer different Quick Filters, tailored to each of these two use cases.

1. The Hands view: anatomy of a row

The Hands view zooms in on each hand: one row = one hand. It's the working view, the one you use to apply the one spot at a time method from the previous chapter.

The Hands view table with its columns: date, position, cards, board, pot type, EV, stack…
Each row describes a hand: position, hero cards, board, pot, EV, effective stack.

The table displays twelve columns per hand. Most are self-explanatory, but the following still deserve a word.

ColumnWhat it shows
Opp.Opponents at the table: fish , regs , or both, to scan the context at a glance.
PositionYour position on this hand (BU, SB, BB, HU SB/BB).
Pot TypeThe pot category: Limp, SRP, ISO, 3-bet, Multiway, or Preflop if the hand didn't reach the flop.
EVAll-in adjusted EV of the hand.
Green = positive, red = negative.
Effective StackThe effective stack at the start of the hand, in bb. Essential to isolate a precise stack bracket.

Only Date, EV, Blind and Effective Stack are sortable. The others are filtered via the filters panel or the inline filter icon on the column header .

2. The Hands view Quick Filters

The Hands view offers eight preconfigured Quick Filters, grouped into three categories based on when you use them. They aren't necessarily the ones you'll use most, but they give a good idea of what's possible:

Warm up

Most recent
Favorites

Post session

Mistakes only
Postflop situations
Biggest losses

Cold review

C-bet spot
3-barrel spot
BvB raised pot

These Quick Filters are there to get you started. You'll quickly create your own (the spots you work on most often) via the system described in the Quick Filters chapter.

Before moving on, let's pause for a second on a Quick Filter with somewhat particular behavior: Mistakes only.

When it's active, an extra column appears on the right (Mistake) with a small eye icon. Hovering or clicking the icon shows the expected range for that spot (against a reg or a fish), so you can see at a glance what you should have done. The details of this detection are covered in a dedicated chapter.

The Mistake column appears on the right when the Mistakes only filter is active, with an eye icon per hand.
The eye icon in the Mistake column: a click or a hover shows the expected range for that spot.

The Mistakes only Quick Filter is available with the Pro and Max plans. The Mistake column, which shows the correct range, also requires the Preflop Pack, since it relies on its ranges.

This hand-by-hand mistake review system with reference range display is remarkably effective.

3. The Spins view: anatomy of the table

Now let's move on to the Spins view:

The Spins view table with its nine columns: date, opponents, room, buy-in, multi, profit, hands, CEV, favorites.
One row per tournament, nine columns, sort and filter on each.

Each row sums up a tournament in nine columns. None is indispensable all the time, but together they let you scan your history very quickly.

ColumnWhat it shows
DateDate the tournament was played. Sortable. By default, most recent on top.
Opp.Quick overview of the table quality: fish , regs , or both. Lets you spot profitable tables at a glance.
RoomThe poker room where the tournament was played. Sortable.
Buy-inTournament buy-in, formatted as currency. Sortable.
MultiThe prize pool multiplier (x2, x3, x10+…), with a color code that highlights the big tiers.
ProfitYour gain or loss on this Spin. Green = gain, red = loss.
HandsNumber of hands played in the tournament.
CEVYour CEV on this tournament, plain and simple.
FavStar to click to mark the tournament as a favorite.

4. The Spins view Quick Filters

The default Quick Filters in the Spins view are slightly different from the Hands view. They mainly help you quickly find specific tournaments: the most recent ones, your favorites, the latest jackpots, or your largest prize pools.
