Best way to study your game when site does not let you run a HUD/add hands to Pokertracker
Hi all,
I've started playing Cash on PartyPoker which doesn't allow any HUDS or trackers at all.
How do people tend to review their play, or keep track of winnings/losses on sites like this?
Cheers!

Yo, im playing on hudless site for several years already, and what Im doing is - just recording every session with some kind of recorder. I am using OBS for example (popular software used for streaming). And then, during session, whenever confusing spot is coming up, I am just marking video timestamp in notepad file.
Great tip, thanks!
Hi screamdustry,
Do you have any tips about strategy/vids/ lecture related to pleaying hudless sites?
Greetings,
Albert
Hi. You can download Partypoker hand histories to pokertracker from your ”my game” menu on their site.
More about it in here:

Ah perfect, this is just what I want. Thankyou!
I'd recommend keeping a notepad open and writing down any thoughts and/or spots that may be of some confusion for you. Afterwards review your notes and study specific board textures based on what notes you've written down.
I would simply get a solver, learn solid GTO poker. Save the hand histories through a database and once you have a large enough sample size, go through and mine for some population leaks.
Its good to have a general idea of GTO, but at low stakes nobody is playing anywhere close to GTO and you are much better learning an exploitative strategy based on population tendancies! GTNO for low stakes in my opinion.
Idk. I just don’t think learning a purely exploitative strategy is very useful. It’s based on sweeping assumptions that an entire player pool is either super nitty or super loose but u til you actually know, it’s far more worthwhile to invest the time into learning theoretically sound poker from the get-go rather than an exploitative strategy that may or may not work and that you’ll throw in the bin as soon as you move up.
By overbetting, bluffing, and checkraising at appropriate frequencies backed by theory, you will milk the micros/lows like a cow
if you great explo player it means you know equilibrium at most spots and how(where) to attack population. As simple as it gets: you can play quite explo pre and improve your winrate (not working in anonymous games), if go deeper - top players are very good at exploiting opponents (Otb, Linus and company)
Jeff_ I completely agree. My take on it is this: If you study GTO, and can implement it to some extent, you will instantly have a winning strategy in most player pools. From their it comes to increasing the EV of an already good strategy by making exploitations. Rejecting GTO based on the assumption that a player population is extremely unbalanced doesn't make sense to me. Why would you not want to have a strategy that is guaranteed to win from the get-go and then increase the EV of that strategy by making adjustments. That approach will always be better than approaching the game in an unbalanced manner and hoping that your reads are correct often enough. Most of the great explo players have a very solid and deep theoretical understanding of the game anyways. That's required to be a good explo.
I even switched to Party Poker to just concentrate on GTO play for a while and then only study the player pool without a need to study specific opponents.
Makes notes on players replay the whole session if wanted.
And yes basically start playing GTO and download hand histories to check your own game and to learn the player pool tendencies.
On global, I just keep a word document open so I can record any hand histories I am not confident about and then review it on my own or with a friend
