How do I replay a poker hand? +
Paste a PokerStars hand history into the box and press Replay hand. Step through it action by action with the arrows, or press play to watch it run. You can also load a sample to see how it works.
What hand history format does the replayer support? +

How do I share a poker hand? +
Press Copy share link. The whole hand is encoded into the URL, so anyone who opens the link sees the same replay with no account needed. By default, player names are anonymized before the link is built.
Is anything uploaded when I paste a hand? +
No. The replayer runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and the share link carries the hand inside the URL itself.
Can I take over a hand and try a different line? +
This tool replays a hand exactly as it happened. To take over a decision and play the alternate line against a live opponent, use the training app, where every hand you play is saved for review.
Replaying hands is how you learn. Playing them is how you improve.
Every hand you play in the training app is saved, replayable, and open to takeover.
