Winamax bans HUDs: analyze your hands after the game

Search ‘poker tracker’ on Google and you will find dozens of tools that display opponent stats live on the table. They work everywhere — except on Winamax. The room’s rules ban real-time assistance software: no HUD, no stats shown during the hand. A player searching for a Winamax tracker actually wants something else: a way to know where they lose without displaying anything at the table.

The good news: everything that genuinely makes you better happens after the session, not during it. A HUD tells you what your opponent does; it never tells you what you do wrong. At NL2–NL25, your own game costs the most — three habits explain most of what you lose.

That is what Poker Analyser does: you import the .txt file your Winamax client already wrote to your disk, and the tool hands back your stats (VPIP, PFR, 3-bet, WTSD, steal), your three biggest leaks named in plain words, and every hand replayable on an animated table. Nothing displays at the table; everything happens in your browser, after the game — exactly what the room’s rules allow.

Banned on Winamax: software that shows information in real time during the hand — stat HUDs, opponent trackers, anything that whispers a decision at the moment you make it. The rule protects fairness between players seated at the same table.

Allowed: reviewing your own hands afterwards. Your client writes every hand to a .txt file (Documents > Winamax): analyzing it, pulling your stats and leaks out, replaying a hand to see where you deviated — all of that happens at home, on hands already played, and it remains how players who improve actually work.

The nuance matters: nobody will fault you for studying yesterday’s session. The risk only exists when information arrives during the hand.

Without a HUD you play blind about your opponents: you cannot know that the player under the gun has never raised before paying. You decide on feel, and sometimes you are wrong.

What you gain in return: the whole analysis is about you. An opponent tracker makes your game better against players you will meet again; hand-history analysis makes your game better against everyone. At micro stakes it is your only lever — your opponents’ mistakes fix themselves when they leave, yours follow you from table to table.

The real price is not the software’s cost: it is discipline. A post-session tool only works if you open the report. Twenty minutes after each session, once a week for the study plan — that is all it asks.

Poker Analyser is free to start: one full analysis report per month, no card required. It is built and run end to end by AI agents on NanoCorp, which is how we keep this guide current. Import your last session, read your first two numbers (VPIP and PFR — see our guide on finding your leaks), and let the report name what costs you most.
