Hand2Note: description and principle of operation
Hand2Note is based on the same
principles as other popular poker trackers. The history of 🏀 the hands you have played is
saved on the computer; the software loads this information and displays statistics on
you 🏀 and your opponents. But the developers of H2N went further than the competitors
from Holdem Manager 3 and PokerTracker 4 🏀 and created a tool with the broadest
functionality on the market.
Hand2Note is the only tracker from the big three (H2N,
🏀 HM3, and PT4) that can display positional and dynamic HUDs on tables (keep reading to
learn more about this).
HUD or 🏀 Heads Up Display is a unique tool that allows you to see
statistics such as VPIP, PFR, 3bet, AF, etc., 🏀 next to the villain's nickname in
real-time.
The display of advanced statistics is implemented in the form of pop-ups.
But, since 🏀 in Hand2Note, the HUD is positional and dynamic, pop-ups become unnecessary
in most cases. You do not make unnecessary "body 🏀 movements," do not lose concentration,
and save time.
Other advantages of the tracker include the use of innovative database
compression algorithms, 🏀 which positively affect the speed of the software. There is
also a unique system of notes in a graphical form. 🏀 You no longer need to manually write
any text.
According to professional players, Hand2Note is the best software to use
during 🏀 the game. For deep analysis of statistics and check reports, some grinders
prefer to use Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker. 🏀 However, this is a matter of taste. The
H2N functionality is quite enough for solving these problems.
Besides analyzing the
main 🏀 features of the software, this review will tell you how to use Hand2Note.
H2N
boasts a wide variety of statistical reports 🏀 allowing you to identify and fix leaks in
the game.
There are also unique reports that HM3 or PT4 do not 🏀 have, such as "Win Rate
at tables without weak players," "Win rate depending on fish count," and so
on.
Flexible filters 🏀 allow you to show statistics based on players' actions, positions,
board textures, bet sizes, cards, and dozens of other parameters.
Decision
🏀 Analysis
Decision Analysis is an additional H2N feature available with an EDGE or PRO
subscription. It allows you to evaluate the 🏀 profitability of your calls (action profit)
in various gaming situations.
Range Research
Tool for researching playing field trends.
For example, how the 🏀 regs play on average at your stake: how loose they 3bet preflop,
how often they bet on the river, where 🏀 the betting range is shifted, how they bluff on
average, etc.
Range Research is perhaps one of the most potent Hand2Note
🏀 features.
Displaying vs Hero statistics
In the HUD, ALL statistics are given with
vsHero frequencies, which means how your opponents played explicitly 🏀 against you.
Last
showdown indicator
When playing at many tables, it's not always possible to pay
attention to what hands the fish 🏀 showed on the showdown.
The H2N developers solved this
problem by creating a tool that allows you to access such information 🏀 in a few
clicks.
Regular vs. Fish situations
Hand2Note has a function to identify amateurs and
regulars. When this function is activated, 🏀 the program will not consider the hands
where the reg played against a weak opponent since pros usually play against 🏀 them
differently. This, the statistics will be as "clean" as possible.
Hand2Note HUD
H2N has
an innovative approach to Heads up Display. 🏀 The program supports several types of
HUDs:
Static
The same HUD used by all tracking tools. Stats are displayed regardless of
your 🏀 position at the table and the action of players in front of you.
Hand2Note static
HUD is allowed in all poker 🏀 rooms where trackers are permitted.
Positional
The display
of statistics on opponents is based on your current position at the table.
For example,
🏀 in a preflop situation, when you have on BTN, the positional HUD displays only the
information we need to decide 🏀 in this situation; namely, the 3-bet calling frequency in
the blinds against a potential open-raise. Or fold to 3bet and 🏀 call to 3bet against BTN
on the players to our right.
Positional HUDs are prohibited on
PokerStars.
Dynamic
Displays statistics based on the 🏀 actions of opponents in hand. For
example, it shows the frequency of opening from an early position only if this 🏀 opponent
has made an open raise from UTG.
Dynamic HUD solves the problem of not having enough
space in the table 🏀 to display everything you need. Hundreds of stats in one compact
block are now a reality.
The dynamic HUD supports the 🏀 output of hand matrices directly
to the tables based on frequencies. Thanks to this feature, there is no need to 🏀 use
popups in many spots.
The use of dynamic HUDS is prohibited on PokerStars.
Automatic
HUD
Independently determines the statistics that will be 🏀 useful in a particular
situation and dynamically displays them at the tables.
The most exciting feature of
AutoHUD — it does 🏀 not require any settings in the editor since the program chooses the
necessary stats automatically. It can be used together 🏀 with the default display as a
compliment.
If you wish, you can disable this feature in the settings.
Visualization of
frequencies and 🏀 ranges
The tracker allows configuring Heads up Display and popups so
that you can see heat maps of hands and a 🏀 graphical display of the frequencies of
opponents in different scenarios.
This facilitates the process of working with stats in
real-time.
Quick Notes 🏀 in H2N
The quick note system allows creating notes on your
opponents with just two clicks. This feature will appeal to 🏀 multi-tablers. Of course,
you can create a template in advance.
H2N also allows adding the entire hand in the
notes in 🏀 a graphical form.
Another essential feature is that you can link notes to
specific stats.
For example, suppose you find that your 🏀 opponent overbets on the river
with a particular range. In that case, you can link this note to the "Bet 🏀 River" stat
instead of placing it in the general area.
This approach makes it easier to read notes
if you have 🏀 many per player.
Here you can configure HUD profiles and popups, create
your own stats, or integrate complex elements such as:
Preflop 🏀 and postflop
charts.
Multilevel tabs.
Badges.
Details about the showdown.
High performance
H2N has
the fastest hand import feature among other trackers (up to 10,000 🏀 hands per second).
Also, the hand database takes up very little hard drive space.
For example, 1 million
hands require only 🏀 about 500 megabytes.
H2N also has a high response rate: popups,
charts, notes are displayed instantly after clicking. And this, although 🏀 many times
more statistical data will be displayed than you are used to.
Hand2Note and
PokerStars
PokerStars has introduced restrictions on some 🏀 H2N features. In all other
poker rooms where trackers are allowed, the tool works without restrictions.
Hand2Note
automatically activates all restrictions, 🏀 so there is no need to worry about receiving
a warning from the room.
What is prohibited on PokerStars?
Positional and dynamic
🏀 HUD
Preflop and postflop charts, hand matrices, heat maps (instead, only a list of
hands categories will be displayed)
Automatic color labels 🏀 on players
Badges
