Reviews of poker datamining (handgrabber) software

iPoker Hand Grabber Updated

by Jake (Handgrabber.NET) on September 26, 2009

Idleminer recently released version 1.03 of iPoker Hand Grabber.

The update corrected some minor changes to the poker clients. Rooms on the iPoker network don’t usually update their poker clients at the same time, so if you haven’t experienced any issues, you should still make sure that you have the latest version, since the room you play at will most likely update their client at some point.

If you already have iPoker Hand Grabber installed when a new version are released, you will be asked if you want to update it. If you update the handgrabber when you are asked, you don’t have to download the program again, since you already have the update.

Hand HQ Review

by Jake (Handgrabber.NET) on August 31, 2009

Hand HQ is a site that sell datamined hand histories.

I really like Hand HQ, and at the moment it is my favorite place to buy hand histories in bulk.

They are always fast to deliver the hand histories after I send the payment – I usually wait 1-2 hours. The fast delivery time may have something to do with the fact that I pay through PayPal, who are pretty fast to process the payments, so if you use one of the other payment options you may have to wait a bit longer.

Buy hand histories from Hand HQ

I have never had any issues with them, so the only times I have spoken with their support has been when I have asked them questions that wasn’t related to my orders f.x. if they were able to datamine Ongame after a software update. They have always been fast to get back to me, and has always been able to find an answer to my questions.

Supported sites

Hand HQ are currently selling hand histories from the following poker rooms.

PokerStars
Full Tilt Poker
iPoker
Party Poker
Ongame
Cereus
Bodog
Entraction (former B2B network)

While I tried buying hand histories from all the sites, however, I have not had any issues with the ones I have bought from, and I have never heard of anybody getting “bad” hand histories from them.

Payment Options

Hand HQ accept a surprisingly large amount of payment services. Unfortunately you can’t pay by transferring money at a poker site, however, with the large amount of other payment services available, this isn’t really a problem.

VISA
Mastercard
PayPal
MoneyBookers
Neteller
Moneta.ru
WebMoney

Since I have only tried paying with PayPal, I can’t comment on the other payment options. I have never had an issue when paying with PayPal, and the service has always been excellent.

If you want to buy hand histories from Hand HQ, or just want to take a look at their prices, you can go directly to their order page here.
