Try this:

Pokey's Hand Reading Guide.

Or get a copy of How to Read Hands at No-Limit Holdem by Ed Miller.

Do I include the opponents bet in the current pot size? Do I include my shove amount in the current pot size?

I hope so, because I misread your post.

Those are about hand reading, not analyzing.

Still worth the read, though.

Try using the search function if they're not what you were looking for.

Does anyone know what the odds are of your opponent having one flush card when the flop is mono? I assume that would be the same as when there's a four flush on board, what are the odds of your opponent having a flush? Google will not tell me this

Thanks!

These days it is easy to use software to analyze hands etc to improve their online game.. how do people analyse their live game?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but if I wanted to try to find players in my local area to get together and talk about poker/have coffee with (instead of actually playing poker) which sub forum would be the best to post in?

Remember/write down noticable hands and play them over on a other moment in time.
Life you cannot analyse your whole game, just sample hands.
You do make less volume hands/hour so you do have more time while at the table to think about wat you're doing. How is your image,...

Import your hands into PokerTracker or Holdem Manager and graph them.

Both have free trials.

aha yes free trials thx,
another question.. Do you think its a good idea to learn how to play winning poker at lets say 10NL-25NL without a HUD and then when I got my 25k-50k graph and can effectively beat these games start playing with a HUD?

For the past 4 years I've been playing poker causally ( A lot of home games, weekly game at a local pub, casino runs and online) in that time I've had a lot of high and low swings. I've been thinking about my game the last few months and I've been wanting to seriously improve it but with the vast amount of information out there nowadays Via the web, books and DVD's im not 100% sure where to begin. If im being completely honest my game is flawed and I want to rebuild my game from the ground up starting back at the basics so where would you recommend starting as an advanced beginner? I also don't use any HUD's when playing online do they really help your game that much and what HUD's would you recommend?

I'd start with the math. I think that's the foundation of a strong game. Get a copy of Poker Math that Matters by Owen Gaines. You can find both ebook and paperback versions at Qtip Poker.

Tracking software isn't just worthwhile for the HUD. It's also valuable because it creates a database of every hand you play online. Once you've accumulated a significant number of hands (say 20,000+), you can then use that database to find leaks in your game that may be difficult to find otherwise.

I think Holdem Manager and Pokertracker are still the standards, though I haven't played online since Black Friday.

The sooner you begin collecting hands, the sooner you can use them to improve your game.

ETA: Also, find the forums that apply to the games you play.

For live:

Live Low-Stakes NL

It's generally a good idea to read the stickies for a particular forum before creating threads in it.

If allin EV line is below net won it means that you "got lucky" and "sucked out". If allin EV line is above net won it means villains did the same to you.

Does that answer your question?
