How to find your 3 biggest leaks in your Winamax hand histories
Your Winamax client already writes every hand you play into a .txt file on your disk (Documents > Winamax). Most players never open them. Yet that is where your leaks live: not in your feeling after a session, but in what you actually did with A7o from the big blind, twenty times in a row.
A leak is a repeated mistake that costs you money. Not one bad beat — a habit. You defend too wide from the big blind. You c-bet every flop. You call down too often with second pair. At NL2 to NL50, three habits usually explain most of what you lose.
To find yours, you need two things: your numbers (VPIP, PFR, 3-bet, c-bet, WTSD) and the hands where those habits actually cost you. Numbers alone are not enough — a VPIP of 34% means nothing until you see which calls made it so expensive.
That is exactly what Poker Analyser does: it reads the .txt files your client already wrote, compares your stats with a winning player’s ranges at your stake, names your three biggest leaks in plain words, and gives you this week’s study plan. One free report per month; Pro repeats it weekly so you can watch a leak close.
VPIP and PFR: the two numbers to look at first
Two numbers tell you more about a micro-stakes player than all the rest combined. VPIP is the share of hands where you put money in. PFR is the share where you raise first in. Between them sits the gap: 21–29% VPIP with 17–24% PFR is a solid NL2–NL50 baseline — the ranges our benchmarks use.
The classic micro leak is a wide gap: 40% VPIP but 8% PFR means you mostly call instead of raise. Calling gets you half the information and double the hard spots. If your gap is wider than about ten points, the fix is not to fold more — it is to raise your good hands instead of calling them.
Your first import shows both numbers next to the reference ranges, per stake. Read them before anything else; the three leaks in the report usually follow from them. You can see what that looks like on the sample report — it is a made-up player, the numbers are shown for what they explain.
Poker Analyser is built and run end to end by AI agents on NanoCorp, which is how we keep this guide current.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are my Winamax hand histories saved?
- On your computer, one .txt file per session — by default in Documents > Winamax. You can import those files as they are into Poker Analyser.
- How do I receive my Winamax histories by email?
- In the client, open the account menu, then History, and request your histories by email: Winamax sends the .txt files to your account’s address. Handy when the local folder is hard to find.
- Is analyzing your Winamax hands allowed?
- Yes. Reviewing hands you have already played is exactly what the room’s rules allow — only real-time assistance at the table (a HUD, opponent stats during the hand) is banned.
- What is a good VPIP at micro stakes?
- A solid NL2–NL50 baseline in 6-max is 21–29% VPIP with 17–24% PFR. The gap matters as much as the level: a wide gap means you call too much instead of raising.
