Last month came the announcement that HM2, the next-generation of the popular online poker tracking and analytics software Hold'em Manager, was entering in to a public beta test, open to all existing users.
In alpha testing since early 2011 and announced back in June, version 2 is the biggest update to Hold'em Manager since it was first introduced. And there's certainly a lot to look at.
New features include a redesigned HUD, new reporting features, HM Sync to backup your hands online, social media features, companion apps for Apple devices - the list goes on. But is it any good?
In the final episode, we will cover the new hand sharing features, HM Cloud Sync for database backup, and the iphone and ipad apps. In the final video, I give my thoughts as to the current status of HM2 Beta, and what we can hope to expect in the final release.
