Hand2Note: Software Review
There are quite a few programs for collecting poker statistics, and each is good in its own way. Today, we will discuss Hand2Note (hereinafter referred to as H2N), which you can legally use in most poker rooms, including PokerStars, 888poker, iPoker, PartyPoker, and more. It boasts a variety of interesting features.
This software is an excellent option for people having computers with weak technical characteristics. The program works with a remote statistics database, eliminating the need for local storage. As a result, it delivers superior performance.
Developed by professional players, it provides ample opportunities for your game, combining convenience, high speed and flexibility of settings.
Create HUDs, pop-ups, and regular/complex stats in a short amount of time – advanced functionality allows for quick and convenient use of all settings.

Hand2Note Capabilities
Hand2Note CapabilitiesThe program's interface is quite pleasant and user-friendly, in contrast to that of Holdem Manager 3.
Here are the main functions that H2N is designed to implement, along with a set of unique features not found in other similar tools:
- Dynamic HUD (it's allowed in 888, bwin.party and iPoker rooms) – displays statistics on players taking into account positions, bet sizings, stack size, number of players at the table, and more. You can choose which HUD to use: static (classic), positional or dynamic.
- Exclusive statistics that enable distinguishing between playing against regulars and fish (reg vs reg or reg vs fish).
- Minimum PC requirements: 1 GB of RAM; Windows 7 and higher.
- Displaying stats directly versus you (vsHero) is a very useful feature since players don’t play identically with all opponents, they adjust to everyone.
- High speed of work due to innovative data processing technologies and transmission (it works much faster than similar software and is less demanding for hardware). On average, the H2N database takes 250 MB per million hands.
- Viewing hands with showdown when you were absent (for example, when multi-tabling).
- Displaying ranges of preflop calls and raises by participants in the hand.
- Capability to quickly load up to 3000 hands per second.
- Importing databases from Holdem Manager and Poker Tracker 4.
To unleash the full potential of H2N, it is recommended to combine it with StarsHelper or SessionLord (on PokerStars), PartyCaption (in rooms of bwin.party network), 888Caption (in 888 network skins), and so on.

HUDs: Static, Positional, Dynamic
HUDs: Static, Positional, DynamicThe team behind H2N comprises ambitious poker players actively involved in high-stakes games. As avid users of Heads-Up Display, they have allocated significant importance to this tool within the software. Thanks to the embedded "HUD Designer" and the use of flexible settings, you can create three types of HUDs, which will allow you to display only the necessary statistics that are required for the game at the moment.
It means the classic display of stats, where one HUD is displayed for all players, regardless of your position at the table, opponents' stack sizes and actions and other factors.
This HUD displays the required statistics on the players regarding your current position at the table.
In other words, the program can display some stats on players who have already made their actions in front of you. Also, it can show completely different stats on those whose turn is still ahead.
This type encompasses all the features of positional HUD and offers even more flexible options for displaying poker statistics.
Dynamic HUD can change depending on the player's actions. It displays additional statistics only after appropriate actions: change of stats when using certain bet sizes, displaying of required ranges directly on the poker table in the form of preflop matrix or postflop range diagrams, and other options that make the game more convenient.
Positional and dynamic HUDs are banned on PokerStars. The poker client automatically blocks their functionality in adherence to the room’s policy. All other essential functions, including the classic HUD, will be working correctly.

Popup Editor, Quick Notes and More
Popup Editor, Quick Notes and MoreThe embedded editors allow you to create your own HUDs and change the entire blocks of pop-ups, by developing the combined pop-ups, including the diagrams, notes, filtered lists of hands and multilevel tabs.
For more advanced users, the program offers a special section that allows for creating complex statistics with the use of mathematical formulas.
Segmenting statistics based on "reg vs fish" and "reg vs reg" spots
Regs often face a common problem when playing with other regs. This problem lay in a distortion of statistics due to the fact that everyone plays against recreational players from time to time, but the game strategy against fish differs significantly from approaches against regular users.
Considering this, the software developers have included a feature that allows for the division of hands (and statistics) based on game situations like "regular versus fish" and "regular versus regular".
"Quick note" option
This function is designed to speed up and simplify the process of notes creation on the opponents by means of making the templates.
Moreover, if you have a large number of notes, the program offers to “tie” the notes to corresponding stats or add them to certain groups. For example, you can create groups of notes such as "preflop", "3-bet pots", and "2-bet pots", and then add each note to a specific group.
Analysis of opponents
The process of analyzing the opponents' play outside the tables is facilitated in Hand2Note. For example, you can get information about the opponent's ranges in certain situations by simply hovering over a certain stat.
The creators guarantee a high speed of program operation when working with pop-ups and diagrams. It has a small database size (for example, a database that consists of a million hands takes only 200-300 megabytes). Import speed implies 1500-3000 hands per second.

Range Research & Decision Analysis
Range Research & Decision AnalysisLet's talk separately about such tools as Range Research and Decision Analysis, which are available only for "Edge" subscriptions (39$ a month or 359$ a year).
Range Research is a tool for analyzing a range of players on which we do not have enough hands. The mechanism of work is very simple. For instance, when you have a situation where you need to choose between call and 3-bet, you open a tool window and fill in the required fields. The program analyzes the players with similar indicators and displays the averaged statistics.
Decision Analysis is a tool of research the profitability of your actions in different situations, which includes three functions:
- Action Profit – displays what profit you had when collecting different combinations (on big blinds for 100 hands):
- Spot frequency shows the frequency of occurrence of certain game situations.
In the picture above, Spot Frequency shows that the statistical indicator "a continuation bet of opponent with no position on you" is 5.34. At the same time, a situation, when the continuation bet was justified (it was not a bluff), has occurred 6.45 times per 1000 hands.
Cases – the frequency of committing the action.
Opportunities – the possibility to commit the action.
- Next Villain's Actions. With the help of it, you will learn how your opponent will react to your bet.
In the illustration below, an FCR stat (CHECK RAISE) shows a percentage of opponents’ fold to your raise/call percentage / raise percentage. BX is Bet and Check.
