All of the best players learn poker away from the game. That’s how they steadily beat the games that they are playing. Self study will make sure your game doesn’t stagnate, will help spot bad plays, and will help you see leaks in your opponent’s games. It is easily the best work you can do away from the poker table.

So before it is possible to begin to do hand history reviews it is crucial to buy a piece of software called Holdem Manager (before you say to oneself, here’s some promotional waffle about Holdem Manager, please allow it to be known I am in no way affiliated with this product. I wish I was because I adore it).

Hold’em Manager is a poker tracking application which keeps track of each hand you play on the web. It allows you to then review all those hands and replay them using a hand replayer and give probabilistic breakdowns of equity and pot chances in those hands. It permits you to study your opponents as well as your own play. It has transformed on line poker. It costs between $50-$80 dependent on whether you buy the professional or starter package, however it is definitely worth the money.

To begin your hand history review, you can filter on a reports tab in Holdem Manager and input all hands played after a particular period of time period, say over a 2 month period. You may then filter all your hands from largest pots lost to won.

Then start a spreadsheet or just utilise a refill pad and note how you lost every big pot over 30 big blinds. I assure you even with some awareness of poker, after you go back over a hand in a replayer you will spot the blatant mistakes easily. Note what the mistake was and move on to the next big pot you lost and repeat it.

Once you have done this you can begin to group the howlers. You will start to see a pattern of where you are making the same mistakes over and over again. In my last big hand history review after a downswing I had 9 mistakes I saw happening way too frequently for my liking. I then put this on a word document and printed it out and read this sheet before I sat down to play a session over the next month. At the end of the month I reviewed my hands played that month and put a line through the bad plays I had removed from my game and highlighted the ones that still stayed. I had the list reduced to one and since then I have cut out that mistake from my game and I’m now on a upward swing and super happy with my game.

I do really believe that once a month you should review all your hand histories of all large pots over 30 big blinds which you either won or lost to keep away those pesky downswings and your game fresh. I’m hoping you enjoyed this straightforward but effective online poker tips advice.

An announcement on who rides Harbinger in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes could be made this week.

Speculation has been rife on who will team up with the in-form Sir Michael Stoute-trained four-year-old in the Betfair-sponsored showpiece at Ascot on July 24.

Frankie Dettori and Paul Hanagan are among the names being linked with Harbinger after his regular partner Ryan Moore decided to stick with stablemate Workforce following their triumph in the Investec Derby.

Harbinger is unbeaten in three starts this term, culminating in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot.

“We’re still waiting to hear on jockey booking confirmations and all that,” said Harry Herbert, racing manager to owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing.

“It doesn’t look as though there will be too big a field in the race so it’s just a question of seeing who is doing what, and we are in Sir Michael’s hands on that one.

“He’s just waiting to hear. We have had conversations, but I can’t talk about that until we’ve had confirmation.

“I guess it wouldn’t take a genius to know what the short-list would be. It’s just waiting for the cards to fall and for trainers with other runners in the race knowing what they are going to do. Hopefully, something will be forthcoming this week.”

He went on: “He’s such a special horse, he’s such a beautiful-looking horse with a great temperament. We’ve seen this year he has a lovely cruising speed and then a tremendous turn of foot to quicken off that pace.

“This is what it’s all about from my side of things. It’s a big syndicate manager’s dream to have a horse like Harbinger, who will hopefully be lining up for Europe’s greatest midsummer spectacle.”

Godolphin have been forced to call a halt on the career of Australian import Denman as he will not be fit enough to do himself justice in next week’s Darley July Cup.

The four-year-old, a Group One winner at Rosehill back home, will now take up stud duties Down Under, which was always the plan for the son of Lonhro. Connections had hoped to run him in the highlight of the July meeting at Newmarket but have run out of time.

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: “We are not going to run him in the July Cup because he is not fit enough.”

He added: “What the plan is, and what the plan has always been, is that there is a quarantine for Australia straight after the July meeting and the intention was that he would always return to the southern hemisphere and we don’t have time to find another race for him.

“Quarantine starts straight after the July meeting and he’s not ready to run so unfortunately we’ve run out of time.”

His impending withdrawal would free up Frankie Dettori for the ride on Fleeting Spirit, if that is the direction in which her trainer Jeremy Noseda decided to go, with Tom Queally, who partnered her to victory 12 months ago, also in the frame.

Another who will miss the race is Brian Meehan’s Arcano. One of last season’s leading juveniles, the colt has only been seen once this season, when well beaten by the Richard Hannon pair of Dick Turpin and Canford Cliffs in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury.

He had still been quoted by bookmakers for the sprint on the July Course but connections admitted it will come too soon.

Angus Gold, owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s racing manager, said: “Arcano is on his way back. His blood took a long time to get back right after Newbury, it was just a few silly little things that have taken him a bit longer than we hoped.

“We were hoping to get him ready for the July Cup next week but he’s not quite going to make it. I hope he will be back on the track in the next two to three weeks.”
