# GG Poker Network

Do you play on GG Poker Network and think a poker tracker is useless because HUDs are not allowed? Not quite.

In this article, you will learn how to:

- download your hand history from GG Poker Network;

- install Hand2Note and import your hand files;

# Download Your Hand History

GG Poker Network does not save hand histories to your computer automatically. Instead, you need to download them from PokerCraft and import them into Hand2Note.

Open PokerCraft from the GG Poker client.

PokerCraft can be opened directly from the GG Poker client.

Select the game type you want to export, for example My Tournaments.

The game list is available in the left panel and uses the same names as in the GG Poker client.

Click Download Game Histories and Download Game Summaries (if available).

You can filter hands by date, buy-in, and other criteria before downloading them.

The example above shows the tournament section, so the Download Game Summaries option is available.

Extract the downloaded archives into a dedicated folder.

For easier organization, store your files in separate folders by year and month.

Each downloaded archive must be extracted before importing the files into Hand2Note.

After preparing the files, import them into Hand2Note.

# Install Hand2Note and Import Your Hand History

Your hand history files are now ready to import.

Hand2Note supports all GG Poker Network game types. For the latest information, see the Supported Sites and Apps page.

Download and install Hand2Note for Windows or macOS from the official website.

Select the version for your operating system.

Create a Hand2Note account on the website if you do not have one already.

Click Login → Register to create an account.

Launch Hand2Note and click Database → Import from Folder.

Navigate to the folder where you extracted your GG Poker hand history files and click Select Folder.

The Import from Folder option is available in the Database menu at the top of the Hand2Note window.

Hand2Note will start importing the files automatically.

When the import is complete, open the Reports tab to view your hand history, tournament results, and statistics.

Use the Reports tab to review your sessions and analyze your results.

The next section shows a few practical examples of how to use Hand2Note.

# What You Can Do with Hand2Note

Your hands have now been imported into Hand2Note.

The Reports and Statistics sections help you review sessions, analyze results, and find patterns in your game.

Let's start with a few simple examples.

# Find Your Biggest Losing Hands

The biggest losses usually come from the biggest pots.

Open the Reports section and click +Filter.

The +Filter button is located next to your nickname.

Select the Went to Showdown and Lost Hand filters, then click Apply.

The Quick Filters tab contains many commonly used filters for hand review.

Sort the report by the Won column to bring your biggest losses to the top.

When sorting is active, the column title turns white and the arrow points downward.

Now review your biggest losing hands and look for patterns.

Did you call too wide? Value bet too thin? Bluff in the wrong spot? Or was it just a cooler?

If a hand seems especially important, right-click it and select Mark Hand. Saved hands appear in the Marked Hands section.

Marked hands can be reviewed later from the Marked Hands section.

# Review Your Results by Position

Not all positions are equally profitable.

Open the Positions tab and click any position to open a detailed report. This report shows how much you win or lose from each position at the table.

An example of two reports side by side: one overall and one for the BTN position only.

BTN is generally the most profitable position in poker. If your results from BTN are lower than expected, it may be worth taking a closer look at your BTN play.

How often do regular players bluff on the river? Let's find out in the next section.

# Check How Often Regular Players Bluff on the River

Regular players often use river overbets. But how often is it actually a bluff rather than a strong hand?

The Statistics section helps answer questions like this based on real hand data.

First, switch to the Hand2Note Pro Popup. It includes many additional stats that are not available in the default popup.

Click your nickname to open the player selection window.

Switch from the default Popup profile to Hand2Note Pro Popup to access additional statistics.

Next, switch to the Multiple Players tab, enable the Reg filter, and click Apply.

This report includes more than 3,600 regular players and 113,000 hands.

Now let's see what regular players show at showdown after using a river overbet.

Open the GENERAL tab and click the Overbet stat in the River column.

The 13% weak result indicates that bluffs are relatively rare in this situation.

The result speaks for itself: only 13% of hands are classified as weak.

In other words, in this sample a river overbet is much more likely to represent a strong hand than a bluff.

This type of analysis helps you make decisions based on large samples rather than assumptions or a few memorable hands.

That is why Hand2Note remains one of the main study tools used by many professional players, including Benjamin Rolle (bencb) and Saulo Costa.

# Hands Do Not Appear in Hand2Note After Import

GG Poker Network occasionally changes its hand history format.

Hand2Note is updated regularly to support these changes. If you have not updated Hand2Note recently, open the Updates tab and check for available updates.

Click the yellow Install button if an update is available.

If the problem persists, create a new database and repeat the import.

In Configuration, select the Databases tab, click + Create Database, and import the files again.

# Can I Set Up Automatic Hand Import for GG Poker Network?

Unfortunately, no.

Unlike most poker sites, GG Poker Network does not save hand histories to your computer during play.

Do not add GG Poker Network folders to the Auto Import configuration. This feature is intended for poker sites that automatically save hand histories while you play.

Instead, download your hand histories from PokerCraft and import them manually after each session.
