Hand History Database

All hands played in Poker Academy are stored in a Hand History Database. The main Player Statistics window provides access to all of the hand history and player analysis tools. This module lets you view hand histories, import hands, track your session performance, view summarized reports on all of the players you've faced, and dive into specific player statistics such as bankroll graphs, action frequencies, and more.

The Player Statistics module contains three types of windows. The Hand History Database contains summary information on all of the players and sessions. Hand History Browsers display the actual hands from a session. Player Stats Windows can be loaded for each player you have played a hand with. Individual player stats windows contain information specific to that player.

Toolbar Buttons

Several common toolbar buttons are used throughout the statistics package. They typically apply an action to the currently selected row in a table. If nothing is selected, they apply to all rows in the table.
The Player Stats button will bring up a new Player Statistics Windows containing detailed statistics on the selected player.
The Hand History button will bring up a Hand History Browser showing only the selected hands.
The Playback button loads the selected hands into the game window for play back and review.
Permanently deletes all of the selected hands or sessions from the database.
Export transcripts of the selected hands or sessions to a text file.
Import Hands Histories from Online Poker Sites from a text file or directory.
Opens a specific help page in this help browser.

Summary Tab

The Summary tab provides a quick at-a-glance summary of the entire database contents. The total number of hands, sessions, and players are given on the upper left.

Totals for all of the different Sites found in the database are displayed in the table at the top. Currently only two sites are supported. Poker Academy Pro is the site under which all local games are played. Poker Academy Online is used for all hands played on our online servers. In the future, we will support importing of hand histories from other poker sites. All players in the database are listed on the Players summary table. Heroes (your personal profiles) are shown in bold. A Show Heroes Only check box allows you to filter out all players that are not Heroes. Likewise, you can also filter out all players that have not played a significant number of hands. For each player, it lists:

Player
The player's name
Site
The site the player is from
Dollars Won
The net dollars won or lost over all ring game hands, and tournament earnings. Essentially, this is the player's bankroll.
Rake Paid

Ring Games

Selecting a player will enable two buttons on the right:

The Hand History button will bring up a Hand History window showing only the hands where that player is listed.

History Tab

The History tab displays a list of all hands ever played. See the section on the Hand Histories Browser for more information.

Session Tabs

There are four tabs for each of the four game types (Limit Ring, No-Limit Ring, Limit Tournament, No-Limit Tournament). Each tab displays a list of the appropriate sessions at the top. The bottom half of the view contains a list of all players from the selected sessions. Sessions can be selected (control-click to select multiple sessions, or shift-click to select a range of continuous sessions). Clicking on any of the column titles will sort the table by that column. Clicking the same column title again will reverse the sorting order.
