Game Coverage
Hand HQ datamine both No Limit and Fixed Limit Hold’Em cash games, and are able to supply several million hand histories from most of the stakes they track. This is obviously subject to fluctuations depending on how many games are running at the site you play at, since they can’t datamine when there are no games running.
Recently they have started datamining Pot Limit Omaha cash games, and while the amount of hand histories available is still limited this is very good news for Omaha players, since it has been near impossible to buy Omaha hand histories.

Support
I haven’t had much reason to speak with Hand HQ’s support, since I have never had a problem with their service.
I have asked them some questions about the hands they sell, most recently if they had fresh Ongame hand histories after a software update caused Ongame Hand Grabber to stop working. They got back to me a couple of hours and told me that they did indeed have newly mined Ongame hand histories.
While it is possible that I have just been lucky when talking to them, it is my impression that they try very hard to make their customers happy, and will always get back to you in a timely manner, regardless of what kind of question you ask them.
