Reviewing the Hand

The quiz hand review mode compares your estimated hero hand range with the correct hero hand range.

The hero hand grid displays hands you should push in green and hands you should fold in red. Hands in your estimated hand range are displayed in dark green and dark red. If your estimated hand range is smaller than the correct hand ranges you will see light green hands that you should have pushed (as in the screen shot above). If your estimated hand range is greater than the correct hand range you will see dark red hands that you should have folded. Below the hero hand grid is the review summary, which displays

• Your estimated hand range.
• The correct hand range.
• Your score for the hand.
• The estimated diff error.

Your score is taking the difference between the estimated hand range and the correct hand range and subtracting from 100. Your score will vary from 0 to 100, with 100 being a perfect score. When you are finished reviewing the hand, click the New Quiz Hand button to create a new quiz hand.

The estimated diff error is the total difference in diffs between your range and the correct range. The diff error will be positive if your range is tighter than the correct range and negative if your range is looser than the correct range.

Click the New Quiz Hand button to move to the next quiz hand.

As you complete quiz hands the hands grid on the left will display all hands in the current quiz.
