Anyone thinking of switching to [url=http://www.holdemmanager.net/]Holdem Manager (HM)[/url] should do it. I have been using [url=http://www.pokertracker.com/]Poker Tracker[/url] since the beginning. I was using PT3 up till yesterday. Stoxpoker and Card has a promo and [url=http://www.holdemmanager.net/]HM[/url] only costs 45$.

Here is a quick glance of the features I liked the most:

The HUD is a charm to configure. The default popup is absolutely fantastic. When you mouse over to one of the stats, you get a popup that displays stats for every streets and/or position.

You can take notes directly on the HUD and you can chose the color of the small note icon (not useful for Full Tilt Poker, but very nice for PokerStars).

The replayer displays the HUD for the players and the % equity on each street. You can chose that the HUD only uses the stats up to that hand or you can use all available stats from the player. That is an absolute must when you want to analyze your play. Calling an all-in with AQo against a 15/12 does not make sense, but it does against a 50/35…

The hands review section is awesome. You have a chart à la Poker Stove. The darker the cards, the most you have played them. You can filter numerous way (Raise PF, 3Bet, call 3 bet etc…). From there, you can click on the cards and you will view all the hands you played. Double click on the hand and the replayer will popup.

It is really a step up from [url=http://www.pokertracker.com/]Poker Tracker[/url]. I highly recommend it.

Note that I did not uninstall [url=http://www.pokertracker.com/]Poker Tracker[/url], the author is hard at work on the software and maybe some day, [url=http://www.pokertracker.com/]Poker Tracker[/url] will surpass [url=http://www.holdemmanager.net/]Holdem Manager[/url]…
