Why Download Your Hand Histories?

Your hand histories are a goldmine of information. By analyzing them, you can:

  • Find your biggest leaks — spots where you consistently lose money
  • Track your win rate over time and across different games
  • Get AI coaching — upload to DEEPFOLD for instant professional analysis

Step-by-Step: Downloading from Natural8 / GGPoker

Natural8 runs on the GGPoker network, so the hand history export process is the same. You'll use the built-in PokerCraft tool to download your session data.

Step 1: Open Settings

Launch the Natural8 / GGPoker desktop client (hand history export is not available on the mobile app). Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of the lobby to open the settings panel.

Step 1: Click the gear icon in the top-right corner

Step 2: Open PokerCraft

In the settings window, look at the bottom-left corner — you'll see the PokerCraft icon (a red book icon). Click it to open the PokerCraft analytics tool. PokerCraft is GGPoker's built-in hand history manager and statistics tracker.

Step 2: Click PokerCraft at the bottom-left of settings

Step 3: Select Sessions and Download

Once PokerCraft opens, you'll see your session history. Here's how to download:

  1. Choose the game type from the left sidebar (e.g., Rush & Cash, Hold'em, PLO, etc.)
  2. Use the filters at the top (Date, Game, Stakes) to narrow down your sessions
  3. Check the boxes next to the sessions you want to export
  4. Click the "Download" button in the top-right corner
  5. Your hand histories will be saved as text files to your computer

Step 3: Select sessions and click Download

💡 Tip: PokerCraft lets you download up to the 10 most recent sessions (within 6 months). Make sure to export regularly so you don't lose older data.
