# Game Types

Game Types decide how Hand2Note splits your database. If you set them up well, you get cleaner stats and more accurate reports. If you set them up badly, hands go into the wrong group or stay unused.

This section lets you sort hands with filters. You can build game types for the exact games and table conditions you want to study.

# Available filters

You can filter hands by:

- Game type: Texas Hold'em, Omaha 4, Omaha 5, Omaha 6

- Limit type: No Limit, Pot Limit, Limit, Cap

- Zoom

- Bomb Pot

- Multi Board

- Straddle

- Number of players in the hand

- Table size

- Big blind size

- Ante: exact big blind amount or a percentage of the big blind

- Poker room

Hand2Note assigns each hand to one game type only. A hand cannot belong to more than one game type at the same time.

# Example 1 - Spin & Go game types

Here is a simple Spin & Go example. Suppose you create these three game types:

- 2 players at the table

- 3 players at the table

- 2-3 players at the table

In the default order, the 2-player and 3-player game types stand above the 2-3 player game type. Because of that, Hand2Note places all matching hands into the first two types. The 2-3 player game type stays empty.

Set up game types carefully. If you add a wrong condition or miss a required one, you may need to rebuild the whole database.

# Example 2 - Splitting a mixed cash database

Here is another example. Suppose your database includes NL25, NL50, NL100, NL200, and NL500 hands. The 9-max tables use ante. The 6-max tables do not use ante. Your goal is to split the database into groups that give you more accurate player stats.

You can split the database by these conditions:

- Table size: 6-max or 9-max

- Number of players at the table: 2, 3-6, 3-9

- Ante

- Limits: NL25+50 and NL100+

Then you can set it up like this:

- Split 6-max hands without ante by big blind size and by number of players.

- Split 9-max hands with ante only by number of players.

This setup gives you six game types. You can view hands from each type separately. You can also assign different active HUD and popup profiles to each one. This helps while you play and while you study stats.

# Regular and Fish

Each game type also defines who counts as a regular player.

Hand2Note checks each player against the selected rules for a specific game type.

You have two options:

1. Match all selected conditions:

- Minimum number of hands

- VPIP

- PFR

- Difference between VPIP and PFR

- Limp

2. Match only the minimum number of hands

When you change anything in the Game Types tab, rebuild the database to apply the new settings.

Once the database rebuild finishes, Hand2Note sorts players into two groups: Reg or Fish. It uses the filters you set for each game type.

If a player counts as a regular in at least one game type, Hand2Note treats that player as a regular in all other game types too.

# Important

Manual player labels have the highest priority. If you label a player manually, Hand2Note saves that label in the config. After that, the player will not change labels automatically when you change these settings.

`C:Program FilesHand2Note 4.1Notes`

This folder stores manual player labels, text notes for players, and hands saved in Notes for each player.

If you delete all files in this folder, Hand2Note erases that information.

After the next database rebuild, Hand2Note starts assigning player labels automatically again with the Who is Regular filters.
