Handbooster Full Review

Of the many sites that sell datamined hands from all the top online poker sites, only a few stock hands from the Ongame Network, one of the largest in the world and featuring rooms such as Betfair and RedKings.  For players who want to datamine hands at these sites, Handbooster is just what the doctor ordered.

The free five-day trial will give you plenty of time to see if this data mining software will work for you.  The installation took about two minutes using a Windows 7 machine.  The software is currently compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7 for both 32 and 64-bit editions.  Once you have gone through a quick e-mail verification process, the program will automatically scan for Ongame Network tables.

To start scanning, just bring up any Ongame Network site.  Once you open up tables, Handbooster will automatically start mining hands in the table’s “previous” history and then mine all hands moving forward.  The program can mine up to seven tables simultaneously and will scan certain limits based on your subscription level.  If you pay $20 per month, you get unlimited scanning, which seems like the best value:



After using Handbooster for about 10 minutes on seven different tables ranging from micro-stakes five-max tables to medium-stakes full ring games, we were able to grab about 4,000 hands.  The hand history files are saved to your computer and can also be set up as an auto-import folder from within PokerTracker or Holdem Manager:



If you are a regular at the Ongame Network and want to get a real leg up on the competition, then Handbooster is a fantastic datamining utility.  The cost for unlimited mining of hands for the month is relatively cheap at $20 and the software is really easy to use and configure.  Overall, this is one awesome little utility that you should definitely check out.
