Abstract

Poker requires complex decisions and, to improve play, careful analysis. Typical analytics tools focus on individual hands, overlooking broader performance trends. This paper proposes an approach for both individual hand review and a more comprehensive gameplay analysis. The linked visualizations comprise a line chart for cumulative winnings, a scatterplot for winnings vs. hand rankings, a bar chart for detailed hand winnings, and an event sequence visualization of the selected hand.
