[h3][anchor=hm3-active-report-filters]1. Active Report Filters Being Used[/anchor][/h3] First, make sure all your report filters are cleared.  (Screen Below)
  • If there is text in the orange highlighted area below the #1, you have a filter active that could be causing the hands to not show up.
  • Click the X below #2 to remove all filters for a report.



  [h3][anchor=hm3-new-site-hh-format]2. New Site Hand History Format?[/anchor][/h3] Sites change their hand history formats from time to time. Holdem Manager will try and fail to import these hands when the new hand history format is not recognized yet by HM3. 

To fix these types of errors, reimport the hands again from a new folder [url=#hm3-re-import-hh-files](Step 3 Below)[/url] once Holdem Manager 3 has the updated file format information in the latest release of HM3.

 
[h3][anchor=hm3-re-import-hh-files]3. Re-Import Hand History Files[/anchor][/h3]
  • Go to C:\HM3Archive to find hands for the days Holdem Manager 3 missed or imported incorrectly. The archive should be organized by PokerSite\Year\Month\DayOfMonth (example: C:\HM3Archive\2019\10\05). See the illustration below.


 
  • Also locate any hand history files that are in your poker site hand history folder.  (Example: C:\Users\YOUR_PC_NAME\AppData\Local\PokerStars\HandHistory\
     
  • Inside of Holdem Manager 3 toggle on the HM3 > Tools > Settings... > Import > [x] 'Allow reimport of hand histories' and click 'OK' then import the files via File > Import Files... or File > Import Folder...
     
Refresh the Reports with no active filters to see if the missing hands show up or if the incorrect stats are corrected.


 
[h3][anchor=hm3-create-new-db-missing-hands]4. Create A New Database And Re-Import Hand History Files[/anchor][/h3] If the problem persists, create a new database (File > New Database...) and import the hands we got from [url=#hm3-re-import-hh-files]Step 3[/url] above into Holdem Manager 3.  Take note of any import errors with a screenshot.



 
[h3][anchor=hm3-rule-out-currency]5. I'm Using Multiple Currencies[/anchor][/h3] Multi-Currency Support:
Some sites offer several different currency options when playing at tables such as GBP £, USD $ And EUR €. Holdem Manager 3 has a feature that allows you to convert the amount into your local currency.

Update Currency Exchange Rate:
HM3 > Tools > Settings > Exchange Rates has a tool where you can automatically update the Exchange Rates used by HM3.
