Holdem Manager PRO is completely approved across all the major internet poker rooms and allows you to track your hands and those of your opponents. An essential aspect of growing and improving as a poker player is to track your results and see the holes not only in your game but those of your opponents as well.
Holdem Manager PRO is a PC-only software that imports the hand history files created by the various poker rooms and parses them into a database. Within that database you mine data and break down your own game, and anyone that you see playing online.
The current version supports: Party Poker, Poker Stars, Full Tilt, Absolute, Crypto Network, Dracula Holdem, Prima / Micro Gaming Network, Ipoker Network, Bodog, Ultimate Bet, OnGame Network, Everest, Betfair and Pacific. Please note that as of September 2008 Pacific & Bodog require 3rd party hand grabbers to function.

The HUD
The big downer other recently released poker management programs is that the HUD (Heads Up Display) is buggy and would either slow down your computer or cause it to crash altogether. The HUD for Holdem Manager is pure magic. With 18 tables opened simultaneously, at no point in the last 4 weeks of running the program has the HUD crashed or even caused a slowdown in computer or game performance. This is a far cry from other programs that would start out working just fine and eventually go down the drain in performance.
The HUD is completely configurable, meaning you can have any stat on a player appear by their name so you know their tendencies of play. Font sizes and color ranges are totally configurable to whatever you like them to be, and the stats refresh themselves after every hand without any hassle. To summarize and to make a point, the HUD with Holdem Manager is simply the best we’ve ever used with any program to date.
The Tabs
There are four main tabs with the program : Import, Cash Games, Tourneys, Players.
The “Cash Games” tab is where you’ll spend most of your time looking at your own major statistics. From this area the number of filters that you can break down your game looks endless. You can add any stat to this screen, and break out your game by date range, room, stakes, number of players, action (you were the small blind for example that bet), hole cards, and more.
The sheer number of filters in the Reports sub-tab of the Cash Game section is really impressive. From here you can see other sub-tabs such as Preflop Cards (see how often you get hands and see what you do with them), Hands (a breakdown of all the hands which you can watch in the replayer), Sessions (break down your game by each individual playing session), Graphs (fun), and vs Players (so you can see who you’ve been beating the most, and who’s been beating you!).
Support
It doesn’t seem that the HEM community is even close to what other programs have, but we imagine once the word gets out for this program that will dramatically change. They have a support forum that is regularly monitored, but their email support is extremely fast and very impressive.
Final Comments
Holdem Manager is the poker assistant of choice for every poker player. The big positives for this program are that it’s fast, easy to setup, doesn’t crash, has an awesome HUD, works as advertised, and has an extremely powerful filtering and reporting system for both you and your opponents. The big negative is that if you are a Sit n Go or Tournament player you will be woefully disappointed by the lack of finished support for this section of the program. Since HEM comes with a free trial for 2,500 hands imported, there really is no good reason not to try it out.
Overall, Holdem Manager should be the only program at this time used by poker players that exclusively play cash tables. The HUD is 100% functional and runs extremely smooth, and the player details and information (with filtering) is as good as anyone else on the market.
