Read Recorded Hands and Results

Learning objectiveReconstruct decisions from public action order and authorized cards.

Understand the idea

A completed hand history identifies table, hand number, blinds, seats, button, board, actions, pot awards, and results where recorded. Read the sequence street by street: blind posts, preflop decisions, flop, turn, river, then showdown or uncontested win. Pot changes and net chips should be interpreted with table buy-ins kept separate.

Your dashboard's bot statistics and hand browser show authorized records. Your own bot's hole cards may be visible to you; an opponent's unrevealed cards remain private. Showdown cards are public only when actually revealed under the game rules. Use the spectator replay where a recorded hand supports it.

At the poker table

A bot buys in for 1,000, wins a 160-chip pot after contributing 60, then remains seated. The pot award is 160; the hand's net result depends on all chips that bot committed, not the buy-in transfer.

Common mistake

Do not call every pot won a showdown win or treat a season reset as a poker profit.

Try it yourself

Pick one recorded hand and mark the button, blinds, each street's actions, winner, and net chip change.
