I play on ACR and am a losing player at all but the absolute lowest buy-in MTTs. Overall I have won more money than I have lost on the bigger tournaments, but I know that I am not better than the regs there. I’ve watched thousands of hours of videos/streams in my 5 years of playing poker, but I’m curious how I can study on my own. Is there a way on ACR to see everyone’s hands on an old tournament? I’ve considered looking at tournaments I’ve played with all the cards face-up to check out player tendencies in the tournaments I frequent, but can’t figure out how to do it.

 

Any advice is appreciated, tyvm in advance.

There is no way to look at all of the cards face up on acr that I’m aware of beyond the people in the hand itself. reviewing your hand histories is incredibly valuable. There are numerous replayers out there that should be able to work with the hand history files, but I’m not positive since I’ve been using Holdem Manager for so long now I haven’t needed to find something. If you haven’t invested in Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker it’s well worth the money imo. Even if you don’t want to use the hud stats themselves, you can use it to review your hands and statistics. Playing around with other software can also be great. I mainly work with Flopzilla, but I’ve heard good things about Pio Solver and other programs. If you can afford it, coaching is a great investment. the bonus of being on TPE is that a lot of the pros that make videos also do coaching so you can use that to pick a coach with a style you best learn from. Even just having one do a simple HH review can be eye opening. You may also get a little more feedback on this in the strategy section as I don’t feel like many people look very far beyond that when they get on. Hope this helps.

yeah, no way to see face up cards on ACR, but you can do this on ignition. Are you posting hands for people to give feedback in the forums?

While watching videos can be a great way to get started with learning and exploring concepts, it is a very passive way of learning and will have a minimal impact on your growth. In order to strengthen your game and to grow overall on understanding, write down some of the concepts that you find most interesting when you watch a video and then practice those ideas at the table. Identify spots in your game that may be weak and concepts that you have questions on and focus on those specific areas. Use tools such as Flopzilla, Equilab, and GTO+ to help you understand why it makes sense to bet, check, or fold in a given situation. Review your hand histories with these tools and identify leaks in your game, then work on fixing them. Your game and strategy will develop the fastest through hands on and thought provoking activities. Good luck!
