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
