About

Analyzing poker hands is critical for improving your win rate, but raw text logs from sites like PokerStars or Full Tilt are notoriously difficult to read. This Poker Hand History Formatter transforms dense text blocks into a clean, visual format, allowing you to review the action street-by-street.

Professional players often think in terms of Big Blinds (bb) rather than currency to remain objective. This tool automatically converts bet sizes, calculates pot odds, and even anonymizes player names to focus purely on the positional dynamics. Whether you are reviewing a Bad Beat or analyzing a hero call, clear data visualization is your edge.

Formulas

When analyzing a hand, the Stack-to-Pot Ratio (SPR) is often calculated to determine commitment levels. The tool implicitly helps visualize this by showing pot sizes relative to stacks.

SPR = Effective StackPot Size (Flop)

We also normalize bets to Big Blinds using:

Bet_bb = Bet_$BB_$
