WPT Global Hand History Converter: How to Export and Analyze in 2026

The Short Answer

If you want to convert WPT Global (WPTG) hand histories for analysis in 2026:

1. In-app export is the only sanctioned path — Settings → Game History → Hand History → Email to self. WPT Global does not expose a hand-history folder you can scrape.
2. Most third-party converters lag behind WPT Global's format updates. PokerTracker 4 and Hold'em Manager 3 support imports natively, but WPTG tweaks their .txt format every few months, which breaks niche converters.
3. If your only goal is AI-powered review, skip converting altogether — DEEPFOLD AI Coach accepts pasted .txt hand histories directly from WPT Global's email export. No conversion step.

The rest of this guide covers the exact export workflow, what the .txt format looks like, and when a converter actually earns its place.

Why WPT Global Is Harder to Convert Than PokerStars

Legacy sites like PokerStars dumped .txt hand histories into a local folder in real time. Any tracker could watch the folder and auto-import. WPT Global has moved to a more restrictive model:

• No local hand history folder. Exports are email-only from the mobile app or the desktop client.
• Batched delivery. You request a date range and WPT Global emails you a single bundled .txt file, sometimes with a 5–30 minute delay.
• Format revisions. WPTG is a newer client and their hand history text format has been revised multiple times since 2023. Many open-source converters don't keep up.

The practical result: if you're a volume grinder expecting auto-import-while-you-play, WPTG requires a different workflow.

Step-by-Step: Exporting WPT Global Hand History

On the WPT Global mobile app

1. Tap Cashier → Game History (scroll down)
2. Select a date range (max 30 days per export)
3. Tap Hand History → Email to Self
4. Wait up to 30 minutes; a .txt (or .zip containing .txt) lands in your inbox

On the WPT Global desktop client (Windows)

1. Click your avatar → Game History
2. Filter to the hands you want
3. Click Export Hand History → it opens your default mail client with the .txt attached

What the export looks like

A single WPT Global hand history entry looks roughly like:

WPT Global Hand #123456789: Hold'em No Limit ($1/$2 USD) - 2026/04/15 14:32:11 ET
Table 'Dallas 6-max' 6-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 1: Player_AB12 ($248.50 in chips)
Seat 2: Player_CD34 ($198.00 in chips)
...
Player_AB12: posts small blind $1
Player_CD34: posts big blind $2
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [As Kh]
Hero: raises $4 to $6
...

It's close to the PokerStars format but uses WPT Global Hand # as the header and handles some edge cases (straddle, bomb pots, Seven Deuce) differently.

Third-Party Tool Compatibility

If you're evaluating PT4 or HM3 in 2026, PokerTracker has the edge for WPT Global because they push patches more aggressively when the format changes. Hold'em Manager 3 typically catches up within 2–3 weeks of a format change.

Using DEEPFOLD Without Conversion

DEEPFOLD's pitch is that for per-hand analysis you don't actually need a tracker at all. Here's the workflow:

1. Export WPT Global hand history to email (as above)
2. Open the .txt attachment — it's plain text, any device opens it
3. Copy one hand (from WPT Global Hand #... to the blank line before the next hand)
4. Paste into DEEPFOLD AI Coach
5. Get back street-by-street EV analysis, GTO deviation, and exploitative alternatives in 5 seconds

No PT4 license, no converter, no database schema to maintain. This is particularly useful if:

• You play 5–20 sessions a month (not enough volume to justify a tracker setup)
• You want plain-English reasoning, not just numbers
• You play on mobile where running PT4 isn't an option anyway

Example: Analyzing a WPT Global Short-Stack Open

A hand from a reader's email export (shared with permission):

Situation: WPT Global NL$100, Cash, 6-max. 50BB effective. Hero UTG with 7♠7♦ opens 2.5BB. BTN 3-bets to 8BB. SB and BB fold. Hero's decision.

DEEPFOLD's reply (5 seconds after pasting):

UTG with 77 at 50BB vs BTN 3-bet: You're facing a 3.2x 3-bet from position. 77 against BTN's typical 8-10% 3-bet range (TT+, AQ+, mixed suited broadways) is a pure set-mine with negative direct EV unless implied odds cover. At 50BB, set-mining math says you need ~12.5x the call price to break even — here you call $6.50 to win up to the ~$43 remaining. That's 6.6x, well under threshold. Fold is the default.

Exploit window: If BTN is 3-betting 15%+, 77 becomes a profitable call-to-flop-then-set-mine. Without a read, fold.

That's the kind of analysis a converter alone can't produce — it requires interpreting the spot, not just parsing it.

FAQ

Where does WPT Global store hand histories on my PC?

It doesn't, in the traditional sense. There is no /handhistory/ folder like PokerStars had. You must export via in-app email.

Can I auto-import WPTG hands into PokerTracker 4?

Not reliably. PT4's auto-import watcher works with local hand history files, and WPTG doesn't write them locally. You export to email, then drop the file into PT4's import folder manually.

Does WPT Global provide a free built-in HUD?

No. Unlike GGPoker's PokerCraft, WPT Global has no sanctioned in-client replayer or stat tool (as of April 2026). Post-session review is on you.

Is using a HUD on WPT Global allowed?

Their TOS restricts "any real-time assistance software". Post-session hand history review of your own hands is fine. When in doubt, check WPT Global's terms.

What if my converter breaks after a format update?

Either wait for the converter to ship a patch (PT4/HM3 usually within 2–3 weeks), or switch to DEEPFOLD AI Coach which accepts raw .txt paste regardless of format version.
