Tracker review: The 3-Filter method for finding leaks

Three simple tracker filters isolate your biggest leaks. Learn the method that makes hand review 10x more efficient.

Using a tracker for hand review multiplies your efficiency. This 3-filter method isolates your biggest leaks quickly.

Filter #1: Biggest Losing Positions

Sort your results by position. Identify which positions lose the most money. Common leak: SB and BB are often the biggest losers — but by how much?

Filter #2: River Call/Fold Spots

Filter for hands where you called a river bet and lost. These are often the most expensive leaks — bad river calls add up fast.

Filter #3: Missed Value Bets

Filter for hands where you checked the river with a winning hand. How much value did you leave on the table?

The Review Process

Run each filter. Pick the top 3-5 hands. Analyze them using the hand review method. Formulate adjustments.

How Often to Do This

Weekly is ideal. Monthly is the minimum. Quarterly reviews track long-term progress.
