Dispatch Console Manual: Online Poker Analysis (2026)

Air traffic control does not replay every flight at random—they triage, route, and log. Online poker analysis works the same way. RiverOdds, DeepFold's database review guide, and BlackRain79's session marking workflow all agree: 5–10 flagged hands per session, reviewed while context is fresh, beats a monthly binge. Random replayer scrolling is turbulence; a dispatch console is a system.

This is a dispatch console manual: six-step routing, triage priorities, macro/micro analysis tracks, the leak log, weekly cadence, and three routing errors. No FAQ block. No fabricated solver frequencies.

Six-Step Dispatch (Post-Session Routing)

RiverOdds' session review sequence, adapted for any tracker or replayer:

Step	Console action	Time	Output
1. Ingest	Export HH; import PT4/HM3 or platform replayer	5 min	Session in database
2. Triage mark	Tag uncertain hands during play (PT4 star button) or immediately after	2 min	3–8 flagged IDs
3. Filter route	Pick one high-frequency spot—not random big pots	5 min	Spot filter active
4. Deep review	5–10 hands: ranges, alternatives, pot math	20–30 min	One sentence per hand
5. Leak log entry	Spot → mistake → fix rule	5 min	Single actionable rule
6. Monthly audit	Re-scan leak log; escalate persistent patterns	30 min/month	Keep or escalate fix

Total: 30–45 minutes per session. Reviews beyond 60 minutes show diminishing returns—split into two shifts rather than one marathon.

Triage Priority (Which Flights to Review First)

Not every hand deserves radar time. Priority queue:

1. Marked / uncertain hands — you already flagged confusion; start here.
2. Large pot losses (50bb+) — single-node errors cost most.
3. High-frequency spots — BB vs BTN defend, flop c-bet, river bluff-catch—these repeat every session.
4. Winning pots with bad logic — result ≠ process; exploitable habits hide here.
5. Big coolers last — unavoidable variance teaches least per minute.

BlackRain79's rule: mark during play so you don't lose hands in a 2,000-hand database. Memory decays within hours.

Macro Track (Stats → Spot)

DeepFold's five-stage pipeline starts with overview → filter → drill → fix → measure:

Stage 1 — Overview (10 min)

• Am I winning this month by stake/format?
• Session length vs quality—did 6-hour sessions correlate with leaks?
• Core stats vs your baseline (not generic charts):

Stat	6-max cash rough band	Deviation signal
VPIP	22–28%	>32% session → tilt or boredom
PFR	18–24%	VPIP−PFR >15 → passive leak
3-Bet	6–10% (pool-dependent)	<4% → under-defending
WTSD	24–28%	>32% with low W$SD → over-calling rivers

Sample gates (Seeker Start / nlh.poker thresholds): VPIP/PFR ~300 hands; 3-bet ~1,000; WTSD ~3,000. Below threshold → trend hint only.

Stage 2 — Filter to one bleeding spot

DeepFold's eight-filter rotation (pick one per week):

• BB vs BTN open (flat/3-bet/fold)
• BTN steal vs blinds
• Flop c-bet as PFR
• Fold to c-bet in BB
• 3-bet pot IP/OOP
• River call vs bet
• SB complete vs raise
• Multiway pots (tag opponent count)

Connect number to decision: "Fold to c-bet 72% in BB" is not a stat—it is a defend leak waiting for 10-hand proof.

Stage 3 — Ten-hand drill-down

For the filtered spot:

1. Pull 10 matching hands (mix wins and losses).
2. Before expanding notes, predict the correct line.
3. Write pot odds on the decision street.
4. Label: correct / incorrect / unsure.
5. Extract one rule (e.g., "vs BTN 33% cbet on dry boards, defend with top pair+ and backdoor equity").

Micro Track (Single-Hand Dissection)

Elarabe Online's close-spot checklist—five questions per flagged hand:

1. Ranges preflop? (pot type tag: SRP / 3-bet / multiway)
2. Pool deviation? (Does this villain over-fold, over-call, or over-bluff?)
3. Bet vs check beneficiaries? (Who improves on this card?)
4. Turn/river plan if betting flop? (Three-street geometry before firing)
5. Bluff-catch threshold if facing big bet? (Pot odds + blocker story)

Mental-game checkpoint (factual): session length, stakes jump, speed-up after a loss? Log for a month—patterns predict leaks better than one bad night.

The Leak Log (Persistent Routing Table)

Format each entry:

Date | Spot | Mistake | Fix rule | Status (open/fixed/escalate)

Example:

2026-06-02 | BTN steal | Open 38% vs target 45%+ | Add A2s–A5s, K9s at 2.5x | open
2026-06-09 | 3-bet pot IP turn | Over-barrel A-high after flop cbet | Check turn with SDV | open

Monthly audit: leak open 4+ weeks → escalate to solver spot-check (GTO Wizard free tier) or coaching—not more random replays.

Weekly Cadence (Console Shifts)

DeepFold's weekly rhythm, simplified:

Day	Shift	Duration	Task
Post-session	Ingest + triage	30–45 min	Six-step dispatch on today's hands
Mid-week	Filter analysis	60–90 min	One filter rotation; ten-hand drill; one rule
End-week	Solver compare (optional)	60–90 min	Build Wednesday's spot; compare your frequencies to baseline—gap = leak size
Month-end	Trend audit	60 min	Positional BB/100; leak log status; max three focuses next month

Rule: fix one leak per week. Ten problems found means nine wait in the queue.

Three Routing Errors

1. Results-colored review — Won with bad logic reinforces leaks. Lost with correct fold is a win.

2. Cooler obsession — AA vs KK preflop teaches nothing repeatable. Filter high-frequency spots first.

3. Stat without spot — "WTSD 34%" means nothing until you filter 50 river calls and find 60% were overpays.

Five-Hand Dispatch Drill

Tonight after your session:

1. Mark 3 uncertain hands at the table.
2. Import HH; filter marked only.
3. Add 2 biggest losses (if not already marked)—total 5.
4. Run micro checklist on each; write one rule from the worst hand.
5. Log entry before closing the console.

Field Notes

Online analysis is dispatch, not archive tourism. Ingest, triage by spot frequency, drill 5–10 hands with pot math, log one fix, audit monthly. PT4/HM3 for filters; GTO Wizard or equity calculators for spot-checks; pen and replayer if budget is zero.

The console operator who routes by process outruns the pilot who replays bad beats for therapy.
