With notecaddy, you can create all sorts of definitions that you don't have in HM2. An example may be betsizing tells; you can create a definition for when someone bets 1/2 pot and assign them a range under top pair or a weak draw, and it will show how often this person is weak when he cbets 1/2 pot. There are many other advantages besides making your own definitions that aren't in HM2. You can create spark graphs*http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...park+Graphs%3F. These are really helpful for a lot of definitions. You can make spark graphs for different betsizes on the river for example. If someone bets full pot at you, you can quickly glance at this popup where the spark graph is and see if they are only doing it for value, bluffs, or merging their range. Also with notecaddy you can create badges for any of your custom definitions. These show up on your main HUD, and are quick references to find leaks to exploit your opponents. The badges are very helpful for me because it allows me to plan my hand in advance much more easily, which I think is a huge benefit.
What Notecaddy Edge does is puts together a comprehensive package of definitions and badges for notecaddy, so that you don't have to spend hours and hours and hours putting it together. Several people have told me in Skype that it is well worth the money and more, which I think it is, compared to other products out there (which I don't think are as good). Once someone can memorize a lot of the information in the package, that person will have a wealth of information that the opponents don't have, or don't have time to find.

Note caddy is just OK but, this package makes it on steroids. The foundation it sets is well worth the price and I'd be burning money to re-create what they did for personal use compared to the time saved. Gl to all at the tables and if people want to ask me questions feel free to post them itt.

Seriously this is a truly awesome package the best poker purchase Ive made in a long time
And since my purchase things Just keep getting better, it now comes with Nostrakan's own auto rate configuration even more badges and definitions have been added. Also they have an instructional video lasting a little over 14 min explaining some of the uses of badges and definitions, with a promise of more to come.
So whats the advantage of using the nEdge package?
Well firstly as listed on there website you get an awful lot of buck for your dollar.
• 44 Color Definitions used as Badges, with a custom design to help you exploit your opponents.
• Over 132 Notecaddy definitions - They even make custom definitions for $20
• 3 Professional Style HUDs
• HUDs have HM2 & Notecaddy popups, including spark graphs.
• One 8-page document giving an explaination for every single Notecaddy definition.
• One 10-page document explaining each Badge and how to exploit opponents with or without it.
• Detailed step-by-step instructions for installing Notecaddy EDGE.
• Definitions and badges are fully customizable, nothing is locked to a particular stake level.
• Free updates for life when new definitions are added.
• 1 free custom definition per package. Email your request and they will make the definition for you.
• Responsive Customer Service
Theres also a sort of daily blog on 2+2 forums called My Poker Goal & Challenge showing how the designer uses the package together with hand examples. Very good.
Altough there is a user forum this dosnt seem to have a lot of traffic at the moment, now whether this is because its relatively new or because buyers are just keeping quite about the success they are having with this product!! Ill let you decide, I know what I think.
However that said, my support question to the forum was answered the same day, so at the moment support is excellent.
Installation was a breeze, theres very detailed instructions on how to install the package, depending on the size of your HM database you can be up and running within the hour.
As well as the install instructions you get over 20 pages of very detailed notes explaining every badge and definition used in the package. If that wasn’t enough info Nostrakan also tells you how to play against a person with or without a particular badge.
As I said before this is a truly awesome professional package, very well presented and put together. I think at the time of writing this, the price is still $99 so if you need to improve your game this would be the best $99 you could spend.
Truly awesome and I love it, well done Nostrakan and I wish you every success in your venture.

I had some minor issues using my own HUD combined with NoteCaddyEdge, which were mainly caused due to my unknowledge about the full power of the package. What I did not know, was that every HUD-Stat can be underlined by a notecaddy-based-popup. So basicly when I go over my 3-bet stat now, a pop up will give me now an idea of my villains 3-betting range. And this applies to almost any stat.
I asked Nostrakhan about this, and he was really kind and helpful. He ended up jumping on my computer helping me with the setup. A service can´t get any better than that. I am not sure how the service will become when NCE is getting more popular, but I can almost garantee, that they will do their best to make all customers satisfied.
Well, I had my first two sessions using NCE now, and as said in previous reviews it´s a complex product, which does need some time to get the maximum out of it. What I did, I took the badges I found most useful and intuitive and started from there. I looked at my tables to see villains with these badges and it did indeed help me in some way. For instance I did 5-bet bluff shove once successfully in a spot in which would normally would have folded. Once I decided not to float, because a batch said, that my villain is 3-barrel bluffing a lot (over a huge sample size). And there are a few more examples.
In the beginning of my first session, I was a little confused by all the batches. I reduced tables, and I had the definition document opened, just to be sure. After the second session I was much more familiar with the meaning of most batches, so I think within a week I will be able to just grind.
Still, as mentioned above, NCE won´t make you a winning player, because NCE aquires knowledge that only good players might have. And I still think, that your decisions should be based on board textures in first placs and HUD-stats in second place. But when it comes to critical situations it´s really really good to have additional info that NCE provides. Obviously these are also most often the most expensive decisions.
So the full package cost $99 total? Does it work at all stakes? Would you be able to PM me or direct me to a complete list of the definitions that you've created?
Thanks for your interest in NoteCaddy Edge! Yes, the package is $99 total and works at all stakes. Here's a link of what kind of badges and definitions are included: http://www.notecaddyedge.com/newsfaq.html
We know this package is the best thing of its kind available on the market. It already was the best available when we first introduced it, but it's been improved quite a bit since then. We keep tweaking and improving it little by little.
With the help of our great customers we're always coming up with the best updates possible. We have been putting out multiple updates weekly. Our customers are amazing, and we work closely with them to help come up with great ideas all the time. Recent ideas from our customers that were implemented were: Bold popup stats for 3bet or higher, modifying notecaddy .xml files to easily add color definitions (badges), and many awesome definitions. We now have over 150 definitions and 45 definitions for NoteCaddy Edge, all of which are very usable and important.
Our goal is to make this the best NoteCaddy Package possible. We believe we've already done this, and we will keep making it better over time. Most people do not have this poker technology. You will have a very large informational edge with this, which will most likely increase your winrate by multiples.
I know it may sound too good to be true, but you just need to try it to believe it. This will pay for itself many times over, probably in the first week, even if you are a small stakes player. NoteCaddy Edge is priced very reasonably right now because of the state of the current poker economy.
We've only had positive reviews so far. Some people have paid thousands of dollars for another package, and have told us that NoteCaddy Edge is far superior, which it is (I know from experience because I've owned that overpriced package). We don't have a well known online pro advertising our product, but we are certain his winrate would be higher using our package. We've also had very positive reviews of our customer service. We are a friendly team that will not stop with support until our customers are 100% satisfied.

Hey hankwhite69,
Thanks a lot for the kind words! If you need any more help at all don't hesitate to ask
interested in something similar to this but notice that both Notecaddy packages so far have only focused on NLHE. Any plans to offer a PLO variant in the future? if so any ETA?

Hey IEatDfish,
There are a couple people that bought NoteCaddy Edge that use it for PLO. A few of the definitions would need to be adjusted, like definitions dealing with overbets, and definitions that show top pair as being a value hand. That being said, most definitions will work perfectly for PLO. Please let me know if you have any other questions
We are now up to 164 total definitions and 45 badges. Some new ones that were added that I really like are detailed 3bet spark graphs for position vs position. These are really helpful in my opinion to show exactly what kind of range someone is 3betting you with for Big Blind vs. Small Blind, Button vs. Cutoff, Cutoff vs. Early Position, etc. These were another idea from a customer that were implemented.
We'll keep adding new definitions regularly that we believe are helpful. We'll also listen to all feedback to help us improve NoteCaddy Edge in any way possible.
I really can't imagine playing without this package anymore. I realize now that there were so many times that I made plays before without having the information that I needed. Every move I make with this package has a stat or a definition to back it up, making pretty much all of my plays the most +EV possible in the long run.
We have a monster update coming out tomorrow. It will have 22 new awesome definitions and 1 new badge. This will bring us to 186 definitions and 46 badges now.
We've also made some major changes to our popups that we hope all of you will really like. We've put the NoteCaddy definitions that don't have spark graphs or show hand ranges into the top part of the popups. This allows much more room in the popup for new stats. We also made everything bold that is for a 3bet pot or higher, and we made the NoteCaddy numbers for the stats white in color to distinguish easily which stats are using NoteCaddy definitions in the popup. Here's an example of our EDGE-TurnFoldtoCbet popup:
I didn't expect to make this many changes to the package, but we keep getting more and more great ideas from our customers. Thank you! Using NoteCaddy Edge is almost an unfair edge at the tables now in my opinion
Here's part 4 of our NoteCaddy Edge in Action series. We had some problems using the newest Camtasia 8 that just came out, so that's why it took so long to get this one published. We hope to have another one out tomorrow
