Play-By-Play Hands - Actual Hand Histories & Commentary



In this section, I have some simple, specific hand histories to illustrate some basic Texas Hold'em tactics and strategies, and make suggestions on how to play certain hold'em hands.

These are just some example hand histories taken from low limit NL holdem tables that I've played. However, you may peruse our thousands of hand histories in our Poker Hand History Posting Database where players all over the world have posted their hands.

Regarding the hand histories below, I moved from UltimateBet to PartyPoker and EmpirePoker in December of 2003, so you'll see some Texas hold'em hand histories in the PartyPoker/EmpirePoker format. Prior to that, the Texas hold'em hand histories are in the UltimateBet format with play-by-play commentary during the action.

Check out these hold'em hand histories, they may give you some ideas on how to play certain Texas Hold'em hands in certain situations, and help develop your overall Texas hold'em strategy.

If you have Texas hold'em hand histories that you would like to post - an example of a GOOD OR BAD strategy - use our Poker Hand History Converter and post the results in our Poker Forum! We have a multitude of poker hands being discussed in our Poker Forum every day!

These hold'em hand histories and related discussions have helped a lot of poker players at all levels understand and improve their game and hold'em strategies. You could help others too by getting involved!
