How to turn live poker hands into a GTOWizard review workflow

For live hand review, speed matters more than perfect memory. You need a fast way to save the spots that are worth studying later.

• Do not try to rebuild every hand at the table
• Save the preflop and postflop spots that matter
• Use short share links for discussion and GTOWizard text for study

What to capture first in a live hand

Save the pieces that are hardest to reconstruct later. That usually means stack depth, positions, and the action order before anything else.

• Positions, stack sizes, and action sequence
• Board runout and showdown cards when known
• Player tendency notes that explain the line

Separate discussion from solver study

A hand that is easy to discuss with a friend is not always the same shape you want for a solver workflow.

• Short share links are ideal for discussion
• PokerStars-style text is better for GTOWizard import
• Private notes should stay outside the shared payload

The smallest review system that still compounds

You do not need to export every hand. You need a repeatable way to save the spots that can change your next session.

• Start with the biggest swing hands
• Prioritize repeated spots against similar player types
• Review the hand next to the session result that triggered it
