Good breakdown. Also worth noting HM3's superior hand replayer for study sessions.

Been using HM3 since beta. PT4 feels ancient in comparison now.

what about mobile tracking? any good options there?

Poker Analytics 5 decent for mobile, but more for live play tracking tbh.

 

[jax_garrison]

Standard protocol for serious players:

1. HM3 for online
2. PokerAnalytics for live
3. NoteCaddy add-on mandatory

Maintain operational efficiency.

anyone got good hud configs for 6max cash they willing to share??

@PokerDuke I've optimized this setup for current meta:

• Basic:

- VPIP/PFR/3B/AF​

- RFI by position​

- Fold to 3bet/4bet​

- Flop CB/Turn CB​

• Advanced:

- vs RFI by position​

- vs 3bet by position​

- River call/raise​

- Check-raise frequencies​

Anyone tried running HM3 on Linux? Thinking of switching OS.

Works fine through Wine, but need specific configuration. DM if you want setup guide.

 

[tosoge7713]

yo @vogafox forgot to mention hm3 got sick preflop charts now

 

[vogafox]

built in or need GTOwizard sub?

 

[WellerD]

cheaper to just buy preflop charts separately tbh

 

[FakeOrgasm]

yall really paying for solvers in 2024?

 

[sapit222]

@FakeOrgasm good luck playing winning poker without proper study tools.

 

[vogafox]
