There are quite a lot of programs for collecting poker statistics. Each program is good in its own way. Today we will talk about Hand2Note (hereinafter - H2N) which you can use legally in most poker rooms, including PokerStars, 888poker, iPoker, PartyPoker, etc. It has a lot of interesting features.
Attention! In order to realize the full potential of the program, you need to use it along with StarsHelper or SessionLord (for PokerStars), PartyCaption (for rooms of bwin.party network), 888Caption (for rooms of 888 network), etc.
The interface of the program is quite pleasant in contrast to Hold'em Manager for example:
The main functions that H2N is designed to implement and also a number of unique features that are not available in other similar programs are represented below:
H2N is a great option for players with slow computers. The program works with a statistics database remotely; it is not placed on your device. Thanks to this the productivity is higher.
These are not all advantages of given software. Let's review in details some features of Hand2Note.
Thanks to the embedded "HUD Designer" and using of flexible settings, you can create static, positional and dynamic HUDs, which will allow you to display only the necessary statistics that are required for the game at the moment.
Static HUD. It means the classic display of stats, in which one HUD is displayed for all players, regardless of your position at the table, stack size of the opponents, rivals’ actions and other factors.
Positional HUD. 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 the players who have already made their actions in front of you. Also, it can display completely different stats on those whose turn is still ahead.
Dynamic HUD. This type includes all the functions of positional HUD and provides more flexible options concerning the displaying of poker statistics.
Dynamic HUD can change depending on the player's actions. It can display additional statistics only after the appropriate actions: change of stats when using the certain bet sizes, the displaying of required ranges directly on the poker table in the form of preflop matrix or diagrams with a range on postflop, and other options that make game more convenient.
Creation of pop-ups, HUDs and stats. The 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 special section that allows creating complex statistics with the use of mathematical formulas.
Statistics dividing in the game situations such as "regular vs fish" and "regular vs regular"
The regular players often face with a common problem when playing with other regulars. 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 the strategy against the regulars.
Taking this into account, the Hand2Note developers added function of hands dividing (and statistics dividing) into the game situations such as “regular versus fish” and “regular versus regular”.
Hand2Note capacity.The developers guarantee a high speed of program operating when working with pop-ups and diagrams. It has a small database size (for example, database that consists of a million hands takes only 200-300 megabytes). Import speed implies 1500-3000 hands per second.
"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 the groups of notes such as “preflop”, “3-bet pots”, “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.

Let's talk separately about such tools as Range Research and Decision Analysis, which are available only for "Edge" subscription (39$ a month or 359$ a year).
Range Research is a tool for analyzing a range of the 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:
In the picture above, Spot Frequency shows that 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.
In the illustration below, a FCR stat (CHECK RAISE) shows a percentage of opponents’ fold to your raise / call percentage / raise percentage. BX is Bet and Check.
A team that has developed Hand2Note consists of ambitious poker players who play high stakes poker.
