# Poker hand review

A private, editable record for study after play. A thinking aid, not a solved strategy recommendation.
Keep other people's identifying information out of any copy you share.

## 1. Situation
- Game and tournament context:
- Stage or payout information relevant to the question:
- Blinds and antes:
- Positions and relevant starting stacks:
- Your cards and the board:
- Which details are exact, approximate, or unknown?

## 2. Action
Write the action in order. For a raise, distinguish the total bet from the extra amount.
- Preflop:
- Flop:
- Turn:
- River:
- Pot and amount to call at the selected decision:

## 3. The decision
- The one choice being reviewed:
- Available alternatives:
- Observations known at the time:
- Interpretations or assumptions, kept separate:

## 4. What you thought at the table
Write this before the later review. Mark uncertain recollections. Do not rewrite it afterward.

## 5. What you think after reviewing
- What supports or weakens each alternative?
- Which assumptions matter most?
- What is still unknown?
- Any study tool, exact inputs, and limits of its relevance:
- What changed in your thinking, and why?

## 6. Result, recorded separately
What happened? What does it establish, and what does it not establish?

## 7. One next step
- One question to investigate:
- A small action for the next study session:
- Later follow-up, without replacing the original record:

For a shorter review, complete only the situation and the unanswered question.
