Holdem Manager 2 Now Supports Barriere.fr

If you don't already know, Holdem Manager 2, one of the leading statistical poker databases available for pre-game, in-game, and post-game analysis, is constantly working on keeping up with changes at poker sites and demands from customers.  Its latest release addresses a bunch of new features, major updates, fixes for HM Apps, and poker site-specific issues.

Players on Barriere.fr should be excited by this release, as Holdem Manager 2 now fully supports this network.  Barriere.fr is the fifth largest dot-fr poker site and the 30th largest in the world.  Since French players are known to be more fishy on the tables than the average player around the world, playing on dot-fr sites can be very kind to your bankroll regardless of whether you play cash games, sit and gos, or multi-table tournaments.  HM2 even has a HUD for Barriere.

Another new feature in this release is a statistic showing how often a player folds to a re-raise after a c-bet.  The stats include Flop Raise-Fold CB, Flop Raise – Single Rsd Pot, Flop Raise – Fold CB – 3 bet pot, Flop Raise – Fold CB – 4 bet pot, Flop Raise – Fold CB IP, and Flop Check – Raise – Fold OOP.

All of these statistics should be useful for analysis on your opponents; however, you must be careful that you have a sufficient sample size for these types of spots in order for this statistic to be helpful and not potentially misleading.  Sample size is very important for all stats, but it isn’t just the total number of hands played; you need to review your sample size for a specific statistic since it isn’t a pre-flop, initial action statistic.

The two major updates in this release were that iPoker’s Speed Poker is now tracked regardless of whether you are using the old or new version of iPoker.  Boss Media import errors are now fixed also regardless of whether you are using the old or new version of Boss Media.

Another site-specific issue was fixed, as HM2 is now recording the correct speed in Turbo Sit and Gos and the rake and winnings are now being recorded correctly for all Sit and Gos on PartyPoker.

Owning HM2 is just the beginning, as many people who utilize this software take advantage of its various Apps.  Holdem Manager takes any problems with its Apps seriously and there were a few fixes in the latest release.  NoteCaddy’s abbreviations are now properly showing in the HM2 HUD.  Table Scanner now is showing the table names correctly and Prima Poker scans are now occurring flawlessly.  Various SNG Wizard crashing issues and hand-tagging issues were corrected.

Knowing how seriously Holdem Manager takes its upgrades and support makes me feel comfortable that I paid a one-time price instead of a subscription rate.  Without a package like this being supported properly, any time a site does an update, you could be completely out of luck with the software you purchased.  It is also refreshing that the HM team listens to its customers and implements new features all the time.

If you haven’t already checked out Holdem Manager 2, you can do so with a free 30-day trial.  Even if you are only a casual player, you should enjoy the different outlook on the game that HM2 provides.  After the trial, if you like what you see, you can purchase HM2 for $59.99 for the Small-Stakes version, $99.99 for the Hold’em or Omaha Pro version, or $159.99 for the Hold’em and Omaha Pro version.

There are many good reasons why many serious online poker players utilize HM2, so why not check out what you have been missing out on.
