Hand History Tracker — Note Key Hands From Every Session

Does StackEdge track poker hand histories?

StackEdge is a session-level tracker with key-hand notes, not a HUD or hand-history parser. It does not connect to PokerStars, GGPoker, or other online sites to read hand histories automatically. StackEdge lets you note key hands inline with your session — position, action, your decision, free-form note — so you can review them later. For full automated hand-history parsing on online play, see PokerTracker 4 or Hold\'em Manager 3.

The honest category distinction

The poker tracker market has three categories that get conflated:

HUDs (PokerTracker 4, Hold\'em Manager 3) — desktop apps that parse online hand histories and overlay opponent stats while you play.
Session-level trackers (StackEdge, Pokerbase, Poker Analytics, Poker Bankroll Tracker) — mobile/desktop apps that log sessions, bankroll, and analytics. No real-time HUD.
Solver and study tools (PioSolver, GTO+) — analyze hands away from the table.

StackEdge is firmly in category 2. If you need a HUD for online play, use a HUD. If you want bankroll management, session analytics, sold-action tracking, and live session ergonomics, that is what StackEdge is built for.

What StackEdge offers for hands

Key-hand notes inline with the session. Tap "log key hand" during a session. Record position, stacks, action, your decision, and free-form notes.
Hand counts for cash sessions — used for BB/100 calculation.
Bust hand for tournaments — the final hand (position, action, your read).
CSV export of all hand notes for review or coaching.

Live players: StackEdge is your hand notes app

For live cash and live MTTs, there is no online hand history to parse — meaning a HUD cannot help you. The right tool is a fast, low-friction way to note key hands while you play. The StackEdge key-hand entry is one tap from the session screen and auto-fills the session context (date, venue, stake, game type) so you only type the hand-specific details.

Frequently asked questions

Does StackEdge replace PokerTracker 4 or Hold'em Manager?

No. PokerTracker 4 and Hold'em Manager are HUDs that parse hand histories from online poker sites in real time and display opponent stats while you play. StackEdge is a session-level tracker with key-hand notes — a different category. Many serious online players use both: PT4/HM3 for online HUD, StackEdge for live + cross-format bankroll and session analytics.

What does "key hand" tracking mean in StackEdge?

A key hand is a hand you want to remember and review — a tough decision, a leak you spotted, a tilt moment. StackEdge lets you note key hands inline with the session: position, stack sizes, action, opponent type, your decision, and a free-form note. You review key hands later when you analyze the session.

Can I export key hands for review?

Yes. Key hands export with the rest of the session log via CSV export (Pro feature). Many players export to share with a coach or to compile a personal "hand library" of leaks and learnings.

Does StackEdge support hand replays?

Not at launch. Hand replays — visual playback of a hand — are a HUD/desktop tool feature. StackEdge focuses on session-level data and notes; replays would require integration with online poker sites that StackEdge does not have.
