Winamax is the biggest poker room in France and home to one of the softest, most recreational pools in Europe. Best of all, it’s HUD-friendly. Our datamined Winamax hand histories (with real player names) let you map that amateur-heavy field and sit down already knowing who to target.
Founded in 2006 and based in Paris, Winamax is the largest online poker room in France and one of the top-six sites in the world by cash-game traffic. It’s part-owned by French singer and poker pro Patrick Bruel, and runs on the shared France–Spain–Italy–Portugal liquidity pool, giving it a deep, loyal Southern-European following.
It offers No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash games, a huge tournament schedule (with Mystery Bounty events up to €1,000 buy-ins), and the Expresso 3-handed jackpot sit & go — the format Winamax invented and that every rival later copied.

A hand history is the full record of a poker hand — every bet, call and showdown. Poker trackers such as PokerTracker, Holdem Manager and Hand2Note read thousands of them and turn them into statistics, notes and ranges tied to each player. Winamax is HUD-friendly, so those tools work on its hand histories.
The first time you face an opponent you normally know nothing about them — and on a soft, amateur-heavy pool like Winamax the biggest edge is simply knowing who the weak players are first. Datamined Winamax hand histories are hands we have already collected, complete with the real player names. Import them and:
