HM2
HM2 is short for Hold'em Manager 2, a poker software program that records hand histories and shows statistics about your own play and your opponents'. It also provides a heads-up display for online play.
The simple explanation
The program imports the hand histories from online poker sites and saves them in a database. It then calculates numbers such as how often a player raises or folds. Many online players use it to study their results and to find the leaks in their game.
A closer look
HM2 was one of the two most popular trackers, with PokerTracker 4. It can show the numbers on the table in a HUD. Later versions of the program have replaced HM2, but the name is still used. Remember that many sites limit or ban the use of HUDs, so check the rules of the site before you use one.
A practical example
A player imports 50,000 hands into HM2 and sees that he folds too often to three-bets from the blinds.
