Holdem Manager 3 Review

Overview

Holdem Manager 3 (HM3) delivers a slick Windows-only experience with a modern UI, strong filters, and the standout Situational Views—curated dashboards that surface the hands and lines you most often need to review.

What HM3 does best

• Situational Views. Instead of building reports from scratch, HM3 ships pre-built views (e.g., 3-bet pots, tournament all-ins) that gather the right stats, charts, and hands in one place so you can find leaks faster.
• HUD + Live Play view. The HUD editor is intuitive and the “Live Play” screen tracks session KPIs while you grind.
• Filtering muscle. HM3’s hand filters are genuinely top-tier, letting you slice by positions, actions, and board runouts quickly.

Platform & requirements

HM3 targets Windows (Win 7/8/8.1/10+). Official FAQs and staff/forum posts confirm no native macOS version; Mac users run HM3 via Windows (Boot Camp/Parallels).

Workflow in practice

Import hands, let HM3 build your database, then attach the HUD at tables. Post-session, open a Situational View (say, “3-bet pots”), apply a couple of filters, and you’ll have graphs, stat blocks, and the relevant hand list ready—ideal when time-boxing reviews.

Who should choose HM3?

Windows players who want a polished, guided study flow. If you’re deciding between PT4 and HM3 and you value “open the right dashboard and go,” HM3’s Situational Views are a real edge.
