HandCrawler: The Google for Hand Histories

Improving your poker game takes much more than just reading forums, playing a lot, and talking with friends about the game.  Some of the very best online poker players in the world openly admit that they review their own hand histories and their competitors’.  The problem for most people is that they don't know where to begin looking for hand histories.

The first place people usually turn for hand histories is online poker forums.  The problem is that hand histories are usually not searchable nor filterable in the forums.  Instead, you are stuck searching keywords and scanning through titles of threads trying to find something that you are interested in.  This process works, but it can be very time-consuming.  How nice would it be to search for hand histories across the Net in one fallen swoop?  

HandCrawler is a web application that searches poker strategy websites for hand histories, analyzes them, and then allows you to filter the results. It's similar to some of the popular data mining programs.  If you would like to see hands where you open with A-K pre-flop, bet the flop, and are raised, you can have tons of hands that have this exact scenario with a click of a button.  Having a tool that has the ability to filter hand histories down to specific situations will allow you to improve problem areas of your game faster than you would have been able to otherwise.   

HandCrawler operates over the web with a very slick interface.  To perform a search for hand histories, simply choose various scenarios by selecting different boxes and dropdown menu items.  There are currently over 60,000 hands indexed on the site and the number is growing every day.  HandCrawler is still in Beta stages, so suggestions for new features are being taken.

Getting started with HandCrawler is really simple.  Visit www.handcrawler.com and register for an account.  Your information will be reviewed before you can begin using the site. HandCrawler is as useful for hand history searches as Google is for internet searches.  Simply set your search criteria, sit back, and have possibly thousands of hand histories at your fingertips.  HandCrawler is currently free and is guaranteed to make your life easier when searching for hand histories.
