Tournament trackers in 2026
Tourney Manager solved one problem — turning a folder of hand histories into tournament results — at a time when the big trackers did it badly. That gap closed years ago. If you were sent here looking for a tracker, this is the current landscape. No affiliate links; verify current prices on the vendors' sites.
Full trackers (import your own histories)
| Tool | Platform | Tournament reporting | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holdem Manager 3 | Windows | Results by site/buy-in/type, finish distribution, ROI, ITM, graphs, ICM-aware all-in EV | Direct descendant of the RVG Software line that produced Tourney Manager. Paid; trial available. |
| PokerTracker 4 | Windows, macOS | Equivalent tournament reports plus a very flexible custom-report builder | Paid; trial available. The usual alternative to HM3. |
| Poker Copilot | macOS, Windows | Tournament summaries, ROI, finish positions, leak detector | Simpler than the two above; paid. |
| FPDB (fpdb-3) | Windows, macOS, Linux | Tournament import and basic results; community-maintained fork of the original Free Poker Database | Open source, free. Expect to do some setup. |
| Hand2Note | Windows | Primarily a cash-game HUD; tournament support exists but is not the focus | Paid tiers, free tier for micro stakes. |
Results databases (no import needed)
Most sites' tournament results are public. SharkScope aggregates them for SNGs and MTTs across dozens of sites and gives ROI, ITM, average buy-in and profit graphs for any screen name — including yours, which is the fastest way to check whether your own tracker's import is complete. Free searches are limited per day; the paid tiers remove the limit. Note that several sites let players opt out of being listed.
ICM and push/fold tools
Trackers report what happened. To work on the bubble decisions that produce a 4th-place spike, you need a solver with a blind structure: ICMIZER and HoldemResources Calculator are the two long-standing options. The model they build on is explained in ICM in one worked example.
Site tools and restrictions
Since about 2016 the major sites have narrowed what third-party software may do while the client is open — PokerStars, GGPoker and partypoker each publish a list of permitted and prohibited tools. Post-session results tracking is permitted everywhere; real-time HUDs are not, on some sites. Check the operator's software policy before installing anything, and treat "supports site X" claims from vendors as claims about import formats, not about permission.
If you want none of the above
A spreadsheet with one row per tournament (date, site, buy-in, finish, prize) reproduces every Tourney Manager report with a pivot table, and the simulation script on this site will tell you how seriously to take the ROI it produces.
