How to Export Hand Histories
This guide explains how to find and export your hand histories as text files from popular poker trackers and supported poker sites. You’ll need these files to upload your sessions to FlopHero for GTO analysis.
Exporting Hands from Poker Trackers
A poker tracker (HUD) stores every hand you play and provides real-time stats on the table. If you run a tracker while playing, the software automatically saves text files from your poker client into its database folder. You can also export them manually.
