In short: Hand2Note is the HUD and database software we recommend to our players. It installs in minutes, works on almost every desktop site and mobile app, and goes far beyond VPIP/PFR: a dynamic HUD that adapts to the spot, smart reports, an EV leak finder and pool analysis that turns millions of hands into decisions. If you're playing volume, this is the tool that tells you where your money is going.
What Hand2Note is
Hand2Note is a poker tracking and analysis program. It imports your hand histories in real time, shows stats on your opponents directly at the table (HUD) and lets you study your own game and the player pool afterwards. Hand2Note 4, the current version, runs on Windows and Mac and supports Texas Hold'em, Short Deck (6+), and Omaha with 4, 5 and 6 cards.
Why we work with Hand2Note
When you back players at volume, data is everything. Our players need to know who they're facing in real time and where their own leaks are once the session ends. Hand2Note does both better than anything we've tested: it handles databases of several million hands without slowing down, and it's trusted by top pros and poker academies around the world. It's the software we'd install on day one for any player joining our team.
Key features
At the table
- Dynamic HUD: shows the stats that matter for each situation, depending on players' positions and actions, instead of a fixed wall of numbers.
- HUD Editor: build custom HUDs and popups from thousands of stats, or start simple with VPIP/PFR and grow from there.
- Hand into Note: drag a hand onto a player's notes so you remember exactly how they played it.
- Mobile support: works with mobile poker apps through Android emulators.
Off the table
- Smart Reports: the most advanced reporting system on the market, built for exploring spots and comparing stats side by side.
- Eliminate Leaks: finds the actions in your game with negative EV so you know exactly what to fix.
- Pool analysis: split the player pool into categories and study their tendencies to build exploitative strategies.
- Live Poker Database: over a million hands from high-stakes live streams with every hole card revealed and a link to the video. Unique to Hand2Note.
Performance
Hand2Note uses its own database engine: imports run at over 5,000 hands per second, reports build in seconds and popups open in milliseconds, even with huge databases.
Supported sites
Hand2Note supports all major poker sites, including PokerStars, GGPoker, 888poker, iPoker, WPN and Coin Poker, plus app-based platforms like PokerBros, PPPoker, Upoker and WePoker. The full list is on Hand2Note's website.

How our players use it
- Run the dynamic HUD during every session to spot regulars and recreational players instantly.
- Review the EV leak report weekly and take the spots that cost them the most to their coach.
- Analyze the pool on their main site to adjust their strategy to how the field actually plays.
What to keep in mind
- Hand2Note is a powerful tool and has a learning curve: start with a simple HUD and add stats as you go.
- The Learner plan caps your stakes and database size, so if you play above micro stakes you'll need Pro.
- Check each poker site's third-party software rules before using a HUD. Some rooms restrict or ban them.
