Review of Auto Hand Poster

The ability to review and share hands within seconds after they’re completed is one of the things that makes online poker so unique. Unsurprisingly, there are a bevy of tools available to help with that process. One of the newest ones in the bunch: AutoHandPoster.

Overview
AutoHandPoster is a few utilities rolled into one, but at the core it does a simple thing – namely, it makes grabbing your last hand history at a particular table and copying it to a file a quick, efficient affair. You just assign a keyboard shortcut for the task and then whenever you want to grab the last hand history for a given table, you activate that table and type your shortcut. The HH is then either saved to a text file or posted automagically to PokerHand.org.

AHP costs $10; a free 3 day trial with full features is available.

Look
Pretty spartan, but it’s easy enough to find everything. All of your settings are laid out right on the main client screen – it’s a simple program, so not a lot of options, etc to sort through.

Unique pros / cons
The program does what it says and does it without issue. It also offers a couple of bonus features – like grabbing a tournament ID and pasting it to your clipboard, and compressing FTP tournament histories into a single HH file – that a lot of people will find useful. The integration with PokerHand is nice if you use that site, and the ability to quickly collect a bunch of hands from a session for later review is also a plus.

The major con, in my view, is that the feature set is a bit too narrow. There’s no way for you to sort or tag hands – features that would greatly improve this tool’s utility as a study aid. Also, if you use HEM or PT, there’s essentially a similar feature – marking hands for later review – already built in.

Bottom Line
With the full-featured free trial, there’s no reason no to give this a whirl. Try it for a session or tow and then decide if the benefit to your game justifies the admittedly small cost.
