In this and the following articles, I will cover the functionality of the popular poker tracker Hand2Note 4.

Hand2Note 4 is a modern tracker and HUD for online poker, designed for in-depth game analysis and real-time statistics display. It helps players make reasonable decisions at the table, track both their own and opponents' statistics, analyze the number of hands played, winnings, win rate, and hourly profit.

Let's take a look at the main features of the software to understand how powerful and convenient this tool is for poker players.
