How to Get Your Hand Histories

Our hand history Analyzer is a powerful tool, but to use it, you first need to locate your hand history. This guide will walk you through how to export your hand histories as a text file from most poker sites and poker trackers.

Most online poker sites allow you to automatically export hand histories directly to your PC as a text file, or request hand histories through the client. Some poker sites require special conversion software or hand grabbers.

All poker trackers should offer the ability to export hand histories.
