19 Aug 2025 Intermediate This material is for medium-skilled players HUD MDA stats Hand2Note is a powerful tool for analyzing poker hands, offering the ability to create and customize your own stats for a deeper understanding of the game. In this lesson, we will examine the process of creating simple and advanced stats in Hand2Note 4, as well as their integration into HUDs and pop‑ups, with detailed examples and illustrations. Introduction to Hand2Note Stats In Hand2Note, stats are divided into two main categories: Simple stats - show the frequency of a specific action in a particular game situation, such as Open Raise or Continuation Bet. Advanced stats - calculated by specific formulas using simple stats as arguments, for example, Aggression Factor or WTSD. Example of a simple stat: Open Raise - shows how often a player makes the first raise preflop. Example of an advanced stat: Aggression Factor is calculated by the formula: (Cases(Flop Bet or Raise) + Cases(Turn Bet or Raise) + Cases(River Bet or Raise)) / (Cases(Flop Call) + Cases(Turn Call) + Cases(River Call)) ⚠️ In the stats editor, "Hero" always refers to the player for whom the stat is being gathered. For example, if you want to see how an opponent opens from EP, in the stats editor under Hero specify position EP. "Villain" usually refers to all the players remaining in the hand. To narrow a particular statistic, specify the Villain's position or a custom ID you assigned preflop. Overview of Stats Editor Tabs Actions Tab The Actions tab lets you define the sequence of moves for Hero and Villain on selected streets. In the central window, click action buttons (Bet, Raise, Call, Check, Fold) for Hero and Villain. Use the selector to choose which street (Preflop, Flop, Turn, River) these conditions apply to. When you select a street or specific action, a properties panel appears on the right: Initial pot - the size of the pot at the moment of action Initial players count - number of players in the hand on that street Initial stack size - stack sizes of the players For each action, you can also set additional parameters such as preflop position, stack range, pot percentage, and more. Hand Strength Tab On the Hand Strength tab, you can filter by Hero's hand strength and board texture: In the Hand Value section, choose pocket‑hand categories (pairs, draws, "Air," etc.). In the Board section, describe the required board structure (presence of flush/straight draws, specific card ranks, etc.). All conditions show up in the central field, where you can combine them with logical operators And, Or, Not; you can break a group by selecting it and clicking Ungroup. General Tab In General, set the basic hand parameters: Game format (cash or tournament) and poker discipline (Hold'em, Omaha, etc.) Blind and ante sizes Hero and Villain positions Additional options: Players in hand, Fish on blinds Stardle, etc.. Creating Simple Stats Preflop Step 1: Open the Stats Editor Go to Stats Editor. Click Create New Stat and enter a name, for example: 3Bet BB vs BTN 100‑130bb This stat will show how often opponents on the BB 3‑bet a preflop open from BTN in heads‑up with effective stacks of 100-130 BB. Step 2: Configure Action Conditions In the Actions section add these conditions: Villain: Raise from BTN, first non‑fold action Hero: Raise from BB, effective stack 100-130 BB First player's action on street - only count situations where the specified action was the first action the player took that street. Last player's action on street - only count situations where the specified action was the last action the player took that street. First non‑fold action on street - no other actions (aside from folds) occurred before the specified action that street. Last non‑fold action on street - no other actions (aside from folds) occurred after the specified action that street. First raise on street - mostly used preflop to exclude isolations. Step 3: Test the Stat Click Test at the top of the editor. Review the hands matching the conditions to ensure the stat is correct. Postflop Step 1: Open the Stats Editor (if you closed it by accident) Go to Stats Editor. Click Create New Stat and enter: BB call vs BTN | X | Bet | CBet This stat will show how often opponents on BB call preflop and then fire two barrels against a missed flop C‑bet from BTN. Step 2: Configure Action Conditions In Actions add: Preflop: Villain: Raise from BTN (first non‑fold); Hero: Call from BB. Flop: Hero: Check (last action). Turn: Hero: Bet (last action). River: Hero: Bet. Step 3: Test the Stat Click Test and verify the resulting hands. Creating Advanced Stats Step 1: Open the Stats Editor Go to Stats Editor. Click Create New Stat and enter a name, e.g. Aggression Factor. Then switch to the Expressions tab. Step 2: Enter the Formula Use simple stats as arguments in formula: (Cases(Flop Bet or Raise) + Cases(Turn Bet or Raise) + Cases(River Bet or Raise)) / (Cases(Flop Call) + Cases(Turn Call) + Cases(River Call)) Available formula functions: Value - returns the percentage value of the chosen stat. Cases - shows the number of hands where the player's actions met the specified condition. Opps - indicates how many hands the player had the opportunity to perform the action. VsHeroCases - counts how many hands the player acted against Hero and met the filter. VsHeroOpps - shows how many hands the player faced Hero and had the chance to meet the filter. WonHandCases - returns the number of hands where the player's action met the filter and won the pot. WentToSDCases - records how many hands met the filter and went to showdown. WonHandAtSDCases - shows how many hands met the filter, went to showdown, and won the hand. AmountWon - sums the player's winnings in big blinds for all hands meeting the filter. Adding a Stat to HUD or Pop‑up Step 1: Open the HUD or Pop‑up Editor Select an existing profile or create a new one. Step 2: Add the Stat Option 1: Select a cell → Right‑click → Insert → Stats... Find and select the desired stat → OK. Option 2: In the left editor panel, locate the stat. Drag it with the left mouse button into the target cell. When you hover over the stat (1), the program displays all its information. You can configure background color, font, stat size, background (2), border (3), color ranges (4), and display conditions (5) in the right menu. Conclusion Mastering the Hand2Note stats editor gives you a true "X‑ray machine" for poker hands: every deviation from basic strategy by your opponents becomes visible, and your own tendencies become measurable. Simple stats let you quickly answer "how often?" and "in which spots?", while custom formulas turn those frequencies into clear metrics of aggression, exploit, or balance. Instant in‑editor testing and seamless HUD integration close the loop from "idea → verification → application" in minutes. Start with basic filters (position, action, stack), gradually add hand‐strength and board‐texture parameters, then move on to combined metrics. The more precise your stats, the faster your decisions and the less room you leave for intuition-and mistakes.
