I really can't decide. So here's a list of pros/cons, and hopefully you guys can help me make the right decision:

HEM2:

Pros: tons of features
Cons: feels bloated, won't run on OSX (which is my main)

Poker tracker 3:
Pros: runs osx, I like it, but I can't find a tab for "recent" hands
Consgraph is ugly, and having to hit "begin auto import now" everytime I start is annoying

Poker copilot:
Pros: Honestly I think I like it the most thus far
Cons: more expensive, ONLY for osx

listen... i'm a long time HEM user/lover.... and HEM2 could be the greatest ever... in theory... but it is too buggy to use now. I found myself raging with all the constant crashes, HUD disappearing, filters not applying when they stated they were applied... (and this is the most recent updated version).

My recommendation would be to go to PT4 for now or use HEM for the time being.

Can you tell me how to see recent hands?

It drives me crazy, since it just shows me the hands, and I can't filter it by date. And it shows me overall, not specific hands. I tried googling it but to no avail. Almost lost my mind.

And the seating isn't working in tournament. I set it to the proper seat, and it's all out of whack.

i have a licence for both HM2 and PT3

HM2 is amazing but i agree with the bug issue its very annoying, i havnt used PT4 yet as there is a problem since i reinstalled PT3 it wont connect to my posgreSQL. so i cannot comment, i do like PT3, they both have their advantages

i think my computer runs PT3 better than HM2 but i think thats due to my PC performance lacking from clogged ateries

I hear 4 has a leak finder, but not sure if it's free or not

I don't play online anymore( US citizen) but when I did I used PT3 because I have a MAC
It initially had some bugs but I contacted PT3 support and they fixed them and I was very happy
I would probably buy PT4 at this point

lets put it like that:
the hem2 hud is way way better than the hem1 hud
hem2 itself is way way way worse than hem1

For me it's been other way around, HM2 works slow but great and PT4 is buggy (which is ok because it is still beta).

But overall like the simplicity and interface of PT4 better and will probably switch once it comes out final version.

+1
just that I'm not gonna switch because I hate the PT4 interface and maybe HEM2 is clear of bugs when PT4 comes out

PT4 will be Mac friendly too soon. I like it but it crashes for me sometimes but what do you expect from a beta.

The leak finder doesn't work yet as such but looks good

right now... as it stands I would use HEM (not HEM2) over PT3/4 and HEM2

in a few months hopefully HEM2 will be up to par. HEM is much better than all available right now (since bugs with PT4/HEM2).

i really hope it, but i doubt it sincerely.

its now half a year and its just unbelievable how many bugs they still have in this software, its even more scary how many new bugs they introduce with every update - not to forget the complicated and slow interface/program itself.

pretty much like windows vista, cant patch a crooked product to a good one. windows 7 solved it.

agreed... its more likely to jump to HEM3 and forget about HEM2... much like Windows Vista/ WindowsME
