Holdem Manager Overview

Holdem Manager is broken down into three main areas: Dropdown Menus (Setup Type Options) Tabs (Database) HUD Overlay

Dropdown Menus allow users to setup and configure Holdem Manager. Tabs in Holdem Manager are the data side that allows users to analyze every part of their play in real-time.

Now that you know what the Dropdown Menus and Tabs are, were going to detail more of the basic functionality in the following pages. HUD Basics Tab Basics Hand View Filters (Main Filters) Hand Replayer

Import
The Import Tab is where you can: Import Specific Hand History Files Import Hand History Files from a Folder Start Auto Import

Import Files and Import from Folder is where you import Hand Histories that are stored on your hard drive. The Start Auto Import button launches the Table Manager. This is displayed on your Windows task tray with a black spade icon.

Note: Without the Table Manager open, your HUD Elements will not be displayed. You will need to click Start Auto Import every time you launch the Holdem Manager application to get your HUD working.

Table Manager
To open the Table Manager, go to the Import Tab and click Start Auto Import. Note: If your HUD Overlays were working, but suddenly stopped for no reason, try the following. 1. Click Options / Relaunch HUD or 2. Uncheck and check the checkbox in Table Manager next to the table name. or 3. On the Import Tab, click Stop Import, then Start Auto Import.

Table Manager must be open for you HUD Overlays to work in poker clients or the Holdem Manager Hand Replayer. The Table Manager shows: Name Name of the Table Pot Average pot size Players How many players are at the table Fish Number of fish at the table (Currently Not Supported) VP$IP Average VP$IP for the table Won Money you have won. Money lost is displayed with brackets ($104) Hands How many hands you have observed and played at this table. Observed hands are on the right and played hands are on the left.

At the top of Table Manager there are the following dropdown menus: File o Save Positions Saves your HUD Overlay positions for later retrieval if for some reason they are lost. o Restore Positions Restores your saved HUD Overlay positions. Table o Table Finder See next page o Uncheck All Unchecks all tables o Check All Checks all tables Help o HM Forums Opens the Holdem Manager forums o HM FAQs Opens the Holdem Manager FAQs o HM Website Opens the Holdem Manager website Page 5 of 147

Table Finder: Ideally you wont have to use the Table Finder. The HUD should detect the tables and attach the correct stats to them; however, it is possible sites release an update that breaks this process. If you are playing in a non-English language it can cause problems too. If the hands are importing into Holdem Manager (check the reports to make sure they are) and you still dont see any stats, start the Table Finder. If you get a message saying the HUD cannot find any unattached hands, this means the hands are not importing correctly. Please check your auto-import folders. Select the unattached table from the list. Drag the red icon over to the table and release it. Once youve played a couple of hands the HUD should start playing a couple of hands. If not you can use the Table finder to force it to find the details. In Table Manager go to the Table Menu and then to Table Finder and you should see this screen:

How Table Finder Works: Notice in the picture (Right) the red square made up of 4 triangles. If you click and hold down the left mouse button you can drag it to the applicable table, you keep the mouse button held until your over the table and then just let it go and the square will disappear and return to where it was originally. Notice how the Window Title and the Owner are now populated with the table details. (Not pictured) If the table doesnt show up right away wait a couple of hands and then try again. In some cases you might get the message that no unattached tables can be found. If this happens, drag the red square and drop it and then Holdem Manager will configure itself to accept the table.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 6 of 147

When you let the left mouse button go you should see that it has updated the Window Title and Owner Details. (See Screen Below)

Extremely Important:
Before you press OK, make sure you click on the applicable table in the unattached tables window. (In our example above its Absolute - Mile Hi Ave) When you click on the table name it should be highlighted in blue. Press OK and the HUD should appear within a couple of hands.

Right Clicking Tables in Table Manager Right clicking a table in the Table Manager brings up two options: Preset HUD Configuration Table Size

Preset HUD Configuration: The screen above shows Default being used for the HUD style being used. If youve setup different HUD styles in HUD Options /Player Preferences, you can change the HUD style here.

Table Size: The 4 table sizes coincide with how many players are at the table. If Holdem Manager isnt reporting the correct number of players in the Players column, you can use one of the 4 checkboxes so Holdem Manager reports the hands appropriately.

Tab Basics
This is the meat of Holdem Manager and the place to analyze play with endless possibilities. To see detailed information about all of the Tabs and their functionality, click the link associated with the Tab you want more information on; otherwise, continue reading past this page for the basic functionality of the Tabs.

Import Tab: The Import Tab is where you start when launching Holdem Manager. Table Manager must be running for your HUD Overlays to work. To run the Table Manager, press the Stat Auto Import button. This will put a Spade Icon in your Windows task tray.

The Import Tab is also the place where you import hand histories that have been saved to your hard drive.

Cash Games Tab: The Cash Game Tab is the area where Cash Game Players spend most of their time analyzing their game. You can analyze your play by position, stakes, preflop cards, sessions, vs. players, etc. Those examples barely scratch the surface of this powerful tool.

Tourney Tab: The Tourney Tab is almost identical to the Cash Game Tab allowing tournament players the ability to analyze their game.

Players Tab: The Players Tab is a great way to analyze individual players. Click Run Report and the Main View populates with players and stats. Click a players name and the Player Analysis window populates with the selected players stats. The Player Analysis window then color codes players stats based on if they are higher or lower than the average.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 13 of 147

Hand View - Tabs

The Hand View is displayed on all of the Cash Game Tabs and Sub Tabs along with all of the Tourney Tabs and Sub Tabs. The only exception is the Graphs Sub Tab. Hand View displays individual hands based on your Filter criteria. While all the Tabs have Main Filters, the hands in the Hand View are also sorted by Sub Filters throughout all the Tabs in Holdem Manager Sub Filters Explained: The Sub Filters are simply selections the user makes in the Main View. Its hard to see below, but the top row is highlighted in the Main View. This displays only the hands associated with the top row which happens to be hands from ($0.25/0.5 NL). The Red box highlights another important aspect of the Hand View. (See the next page)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 14 of 147

Red Box: The Red Box highlighted in the screen on the previous page looks like the following:

Last 100 Last 500 All Only Show Marked Hands Show Known Holecards

Last 100: Shows the last 100 hands meeting Filter criteria Last 500: Shows the last 500 hands meeting Filter criteria All: Shows all hands meeting the Filter criteria Note: If there are lots of hands to be displayed, selecting All will cause Holdem Manager to hang while it searched and populates the Hand View. This is completely normal and a reason why we suggest using the last 100 or 500 hands if you are populating your Hand View with thousands of hands.

Only Show Marked Hands: Considered another Sub Filter, Only Show Marked Hands displays hands that you have Marked for later viewing. Theres two ways to Mark a hand for later viewing: 1. The HUD Overlays displays the last three hands on the table with the person who won and the $ amount they won. When you open that up theres a checkbox directly to the left of the players name on pot, click this checkbox. See the Hand History section for a screenshot of this. 2. Right clicking the hand in the Hand View brings up the option, Mark Selected Hands.

Show Known Holecards: Show Known Holecards is for Villain analysis. If you have a Villian selected as the player in your Filters, you can uncheck this box to hide the Villains Known Holecards.

Filters (Main Filters) - Tabs

Filtering is incredibly powerful in Holdem Manager! There are literally millions upon millions of ways to Filter your hands. Lets get started with the basic functionality.

The Filter screenshot above is on every Cash Game and Tourney Tab.

1. Checkbox Use and group by currently active players instead of selected player. a. By checking this option, you can run any report with any date range and any filter against all of the players you are currently playing against. Holdem Manager will break the report down by player name. This can be an incredibly powerful tool when looking for ways to exploit and/or compare players you are sitting down with. This only works when used in conjunction with Auto Import.

2. This shows the currently selected Player or Alias.

3. To add a new player to the currently selected Player or Alias, click on the Change button text, not the down arrow, and search for a new player. Each time you select a new player, Holdem Manager keeps track of this and the down arrow icon on the Change button can be clicked to see a list of all the frequently selected players. This is very effective to jump around between your screen names since they will all likely be near the top of the list.

4. Refresh Refreshes the Main View and Hand View when a new Filter has been selected.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 19 of 147

5. Date Filter You can choose to Filter your Main View by the following: All Hands This Year Last Year This Month Last Month Specific Month Today Yesterday Specific Day After Date Before Date Between Date Last Number of o Hands o Hours o Days o Months

Note: Only one checkbox can be selected at a time.

6. Clicking the Filter button gives you the following options: Edit Clear Save Load Use for All

Edit:
All the Filter options for Edit will blow your mind!!! Edit Filter is explained on the next few pages.

Clear:
Selecting Clear removes all currently applied Filter(s)

Load:

7. Displays abbreviated text for a selected Filter. Once you start using the Filter youll understand this fully.

Filter / Edit The Filters in Holdem Manager are super powerful!!! When you click on Filter/Edit, the following screen is displayed.

1. Tabs (Main Filters Hole Cards Board Texture Hand Values Filter Options More Filters) 2. Stakes 3. Players / Position / Preflop Action 4. Position Situations / vs. Player 5. Save & Cancel

Page 22 of 147

You can sort by No Limit, Pot Limit and Limit at the top.

Only Stakes that are in your hand history database will be displayed. Check or uncheck the checkboxes to remove or add Stakes to the Filter.

On the far right there is a checkbox to Uncheck All or Check All. Very handy when you have lots of stakes, but only want to see hands from a single stake or two.

Next, you can sort by the # of Players dealt into the hand, Stack Size (BB) and Effective Stack (BB).

# of players can be sorted four different ways: More than Less than Between Equal To

Stack (BB) can be Filtered by: More than Less than Between

Effective Stack (BB) can be Filtered by: More than Less than Between Effective Stack Definition: An Effective Stack (or effective stack size) is the smaller of the stack sizes between two people. The term reflects the fact that, when a larger stack goes against a smaller stack, only the amount of money in the smaller stack is really at stake. For example, if a $100 stack pushes all-in and is called by a $20 stack, each player will be risking only $20; the excess $80 will be returned uncontested to the bettor.

Checking the Use vs. Player checkbox allows you to Filter hands based on hands that meet all of the Filters criteria, plus the vs. Players Name. You will need to click the Select button to find the player you want to search against.

Hand Replayer
The Hand Replayer allows you to replay any hand in your Holdem Manager database. Brand new for 2009 is a Hand Range Calculator and ICM Tool. The Hand Range Calculator is similar to Poker Stove and allows you to narrow your opponents Hand Range. The ICM Tool allows you to assign $ values to your chips when playing tournaments to see if you are getting lucky or unlucky.

The basic Features of the Hand Replayer include: Stakes / Table / Date Hand Range Calculator Hand History HUD Overlays o All Hands on Opponent o Hands up to Time of Hand being replayed Replay Single Hands or Hands in Succession Pot Odds Display Instantly Jump to the Flop, Turn or River Adjust Speed of the Replayed Hand Show Known Cards Show Win % ICM (Tournaments Only)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 32 of 147

The HUD Overlays work exactly like they do in your poker client. See HUD Basics for more information. Note: Table Manager must be running for your HUD Overlays to be displayed in the Hand Replayer. If your HUD Overlays are not showing up in the Hand Replayer, Go to the Holdem Manager Dropdown Menus and click HUD Options / Relaunch HUD.

Were going to break the rest of the Hand Replayer information down into three sections: Loading Hands into the Hand Replayer Hand Replayer Options Hand Range Calculator

Loading Hands into the Hand Replayer Starting with the basics of the Hand Replayer, you can replay a single hand two ways: 1. Double click any hand in the Hand View. 2. Right click any hand in the Hand View and select Replay Hand.

Replaying Multiple Hands at Once: (Three ways to do this) 1. To replay multiple hands, select multiple hands in the Hand View by holding down Ctrl as you select the hands. This selects multiple hands at once. Then right click while the hands are selected and choose, Replay Selected Hands. 2. If the hands are sequentially ordered, you dont have to click every single hand. Just click the hand at the top, then hold the Shift key and click the last hand in the group. This will select all the hands between the two hands you clicked. Then right click while the hands are selected and choose, Replay Selected Hands.

www.holdemmanager.net

The top-left of the Hand Replayer displays the following: Stakes Table Date Pot Size Pot Odds Hand History

Hand Range Tool Note: Currently under development so some things may change. The Hand Range Tool lets you estimate an opponents range by eliminating hole card combinations based upon how he played each street. It was inspired by Brian Townsend's videos on Card Runners. I like the parts where he stops the action and busts out PokerStove. Also by Stox EvCalc. The program has a similar aim, but the user interface is quite a bit different.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 36 of 147

How it Works: Click a Player Panel in Holdem Managers Hand Replayer. The Hand Range Tool will appear. You should see your cards for the hand at the bottom of the screen. In this case the action was folded to me in the small blind. I raised with KdJs and the big blind called. (See Image on previous screen) All the hand combinations are shown in a grid. You can select these by moving the sliders. The combinations are selected based upon the ranking of the pre-flop hands. (AA then KK etc) You can change the order by choosing from the 4 pre-flop ranking systems. Note: If you are really keen, you could make your own file and add it to the config\preflopranges folder. When you move the top slider you will see pink boxes show under each of the hole cards. Each box represents one pre-flop combination. The suited cards have 4 boxes, the paired have 6 and the off-suit cards have 12. The Ts8s hand is the last hand you selected or deselected. You may notice some of the boxes don't light up even when the slider is all the way to the right. This is because some combinations are excluded because you have two cards from the deck. The 2nd slider excludes hands at the top of the range. This is used when someone took an action that would exclude the best hands. In this hand because my opponent just called in the big blind and he had been 3-betting a reasonable amount, I don't think he has anything better than AJs. You can also manually select the hands, by clicking on them. If you enter a % into the text box by the slider it will go to that position.

Now click the Flop Tab. (Next Page)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 37 of 147

You should see all the hands you selected pre-flop. You can now choose which of these hands are included or excluded from you opponents range. The top slider selects the hands in order of their made hand value on the flop. The board is all diamonds so flushes come first then 3 of a kind ect. The actual value is shown in this case is "top pair" because that the last hand selected with the slider was Ah8d. The hands selected show in blue.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 38 of 147

The 2nd slider below allows you to exclude the strongest made hands. The 3rd slider (Draws) selects from hands that are currently weaker than a top pair hand with no flush draws or over cards. (Something like Ac2c here) They are selected in the order of their probability to beat top pair by the river. You can enter a desired probability in the box to the right. The draw combos show up in red. As you select the hands by moving the sliders, your expected value (Ev) vs the range selected changes. In this hand I lead out and got min-raised. I reraised the pot thinking I could fold the weaker hands in his range and I'm not in bad shape even if he calls. I have the nut flush draw and a pair. He actually called. Now click the Turn Tab.

You will see all the hands you selected on the flop. Again you can select using the made hands and draw sliders.

In this hand I checked and my opponent bet all-in giving me around 30% odds to call. I don't really have EV to call, given the range we input. But there's a reasonable chance my opponent is doing something silly with air. I called.

Now click the River Tab No draws on the river.

I'm toast. I was all-in but would have to fold to any semi-serious bet. He had A6 for a flopped 2 pair. Doh!

ICM - Independent Chip Model The ICM calculator calculates your luck and EV for Tournament hands. To open the ICM calculator, click the ICM button in the bottom right of the Hand Replayer when Re-playing tournament hands.

In this hand, Mglmstr was basically drawing dead so his EV was $.05 for the 2% chance he had of winning the hand. Now if Ogni73 lost the hand, he would've lost $3.95 in EV to Mglmstr.

Bottom Line: The ICM calculator ties $ amounts to your chips and calculates how much money you won or lost based on All-in situations.

Player Aliases Setting up a Player Alias allows you to combine user names from different sites into the same database for review in the Tabs. You can even add users from the same site into an Alias. Simple Alias Explanation: Combine multiple users into one Holdem Manager Account.

Adding Aliases: 1. To add different user names to an Alias, select Options/Player Aliases. 2. This takes you to the Alias Management Window where you select Add Alias. 3. Now enter the name you want to use for the Alias. Remember this name because we will use this name to find the Alias in the Tabs. 4. Once youve entered the name of your Alias, click OK.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 91 of 147

5. Once weve created an Alias, now we must add players to this Alias. Click Add Player and the following screen will appear.

6. Type the first few letters of the user names you use at the poker sites and the list will populate on its own. Above you can see the user names I want to combine into an Alias are Mglmstr FT and Mglmstr PS. You can only add one Player Name at a time. Select the Player Name you want to add to your Alias, and then click Select. Do the same thing until youve added all the Player Names to the Alias list. These Player Names will show up in the Players attached to Alias: list if done correctly. Now I have Brent as my Alias and Ive attached two Player Names to this Alias. Now its time to see this in action. 7. Go to the Cash Games Tab. 8. Select Change thats highlighted in the following image. Note: Make sure you click a letter of Change and not the down arrow to the right of the letters Change.

Page 92 of 147

9. If you clicked change properly youll be brought to the Select Player window. (If not, see the note in step 8.) Type in the name of the Alias you created. Mine was Brent, so Im going to type that in. The list populates automatically as you type, just like before. If you used the same name as your Player Names thats ok too. Under the Site heading youll see Alias instead of a poker site abbreviation. 10. Select your Alias name and click Select at the bottom right of the window.

When you click the down arrow to the right of Change now, you can quickly change between the Alias you created and the Player Names of your different poker sites. It should resemble something like the image below:

Configure Auto Import Folders We use the Configure Auto Import Folders to tell Holdem Manager where the hands histories are for our poker clients. New in 1.08 - You can now edit a previously created Auto Import Folder instead of deleting it and making a new one. At the bottom of this page are direct links to the Holdem Manager FAQs that detail exactly how to setup each poker clients Auto Import Folders. Here are a couple quick tips to help you out: 1. When setting up a Folder Name for your poker clients hand histories, go as deep as you can in the directory structure. You dont want Holdem Manager scanning your whole C:\ drive looking for hand histories. 2. Setup an Archive Folder with each poker client you add. Many poker clients delete hand histories from your hard drive after a set amount of time. If you setup an Archive Folder, all your hand histories will be copied and saved indefinitely to this location. C:\HMArchive is a good place.

3. Make sure your poker client is saving hand histories. Most do not by default.

Vacuum Analyze Database Holdem Manager may ask you to do run a Vacuum on your database. Doing this frees up disk space and allows your database to run faster. Morny says, Its like getting your engine serviced.

Theres two ways to Vacuum Analyze your database: 1. Go to Options / Vacuum Analyze Database. 2. Manually Vacuum your database with the PostgreSQL application.

Note: Sometimes a manual Vacuum is required through PostgreSQL. See below for how thats done.

Go to Start > All Programs > PostgreSQL 8.2 > PG Admin III or you can navigate to the .exe file by going to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\ and click on the elephant icon called pgAdmin3.exe This should bring up the following screen:

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 95 of 147

Double click on PostgreSQL Database Server 8.2 in the object browser window in the top left and it will prompt you for your password. This is your password that you used when setting up PostgreSQL. When you enter the correct password you should now see a screen like this:

You then need to expand the database folder and choose the applicable database (HoldemManager by default). It may bring up a popup window about database encoding and if so click on dont show this tip again and just click ok. The right click on the applicable database which will bring up a pop up and choose the Maintenance option as seen below:

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 96 of 147

This will bring up the maintenance screen and make sure that Vacuum, Analyze and Full are selected and select OK.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 105 of 147

Set Day Starts At

This option allows you to: Set the time you want your day to start for all Today based filters. North America Users East Coast Time = Leave it alone Central Time = 1 Hour Mountain Time = 2 Hours West Coast Time = 3 Hours For users in other countries, add the hours between North American East Coast time and the time in your region. The difference is what you want to use here. If youre still having problems with the Today filters, try the following: 1. Play poker hands until 23:59 or 11:59pm 2. Set your filter to filter hands from the last 24 hours. (Note your earnings or number of hands) 3. Now set the filter to filter hands from Yesterday. If your time of day is set correctly, your earnings and hands in the Reports Tab will be the same as the filter from the Last 24 hours.

Page 106 of 147

Notes This allows you to import notes from a few Poker Clients so they show up in your Holdem Manager notes on players. You can also export these notes to back them up for future use. Observed Hand History Configuration Observed Hand History Configuration allows you to remove useless Hand Histories that wont improve your stats on players and essentially just take up space. Note: Most poker sites do not allow mining or importing of hands you did not participate in. Read your poker sites terms and conditions before importing Hand Histories.

When you first load the Observed Hand History Configuration option you are presented with the following window.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 107 of 147

Insert all Hand Histories:

Inserts all Hand Histories on Import

Do Not Insert Any Observed Hand Histories

Does not import any Hand Histories

Insert Observed Hand Histories Meeting Any of these Requirements:

Here you can choose to only import hands that are greater than X amount of Big Blinds to rule out useless hands where someone raises preflop and everyone folds for example. To do this, change the size in the Min Pot Size in BB's column. For tournaments you can also limit the size in chips instead of Big Blinds. You can also tick the Saw Flop column and Holdem Manager will only import hands that saw the flop. Lastly you can also tick the Saw Showdown column to only import hands that saw a showdown. This might be useful if youre only interested in hands where the holecards are shown for example. You can still use the columns in conjunction with each other so you can tick Min Pot Size in BB's = 10 along with Saw Showdown = true so it only shows hands that got to showdown that werent just checked through to the river. The other option is that you can also specify different rules for different types of games. (I.e. Limit, Cash, Tourneys NL, Tourneys Limit)

Insert Standardized Hand Format

Insert Standardized Hand Format changes your imported Hand History format to a standardized XML format that is site-independent. Note: Rarely used See the Holdem Manager forums if you require help on this.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 108 of 147

Purge Hand History Options

The Purge Hand History Options here removes the Hand History, but keeps the stats. For example, lets say we have 100 hands on a player and purge them using this option. We can still see the players VPIP is 32 and his 3bet% was 10 etc., but we cant review any of the Hand Histories in the Hand Replayer as those details have been deleted. The advantage to this is being able to keep the HUD stats while downsizing the overall size of your Holdem Manager database. The other option for purging is talked about on the next page and this completely deletes the hands from the database as if they never existed.

Pretty simple here Just enter the parameters you want to filter by and click the Purge Hand Histories button in the bottom right. Theres some explanation on the next page about what some of these options do, but for the most part its self explanatory.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 109 of 147

Purge Hands This method of Purging Hands completely removes the hands from your Holdem Manager database. Stats are removed, etc.

Cash or Tourney Select which game you want to Purge Stakes Make sure you check the stakes you want to Purge. Leaving this blank will not Purge any hands. If you want to delete all the stakes, then you must check all of the stakes listed above. Do not Delete Hands Played by: This is useful if you dont want your Hand Histories Purged so you can review them in the Hand Replayer. Poker Sites / Date Ranges Only change these options if you want to filter by poker site or date.

HUD Options
The HUD Options in Holdem Manager is where you setup everything to do with the on-screen HUD Overlay. Seating Preferences, Hero Names, HUD Filters, its all done through the HUD Options drop-down menu. The following pages detail everything about all of these options.

Player Preferences The Player Preferences window controls what stats are displayed in the HUD and how they are displayed. Theres quite a bit to this window so were going to break it down into 4 (A, B, C & D Groups). See the picture below: Theres a video you can watch that shows how all this works too.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 111 of 147

The 4 groups in the above picture are: A Import/Export Configuration B Options for Configuration C HUD Overlay Stats D HUD Overlay Stat Colors

A Import/Export Configuration
You can save as many HUD Configurations as you like. Having more than one HUD Configuration allows you to save different HUD Configurations. You can create different configurations for different types of games. Example: If you play Heads-up and want the VPIP stat broken down for Small Blind and Big Blind for these games, you can create a HUD Configuration for this. The next page details this process.

Delete Deletes your current HUD Configuration New Config Creates a new HUD Configuration Import You will need to do this without the HUD running otherwise the panel positions will not be correctly imported. We have a HIUD Configuration section in the forums where users have posted their own files. Export You are exporting the config and the panel positions for the site you select to export. You can then send the file to friend who can import it.

Note: The HUD uses the list of configs and tries to find one that matches the table. If it cannot find one, it will use the default config file thats why you cant delete the default config file.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 112 of 147

B Options for Configuration

The image to the (right) shows different styles of Holdem along with the number of players at a table. If you want to exclude any Holdem option from your HUD Overlay, uncheck the box you dont want to be displayed while you play. This removes the stats from your HUD for the boxes that are not checked.

Example: If you just wanted 6-MAX No Limit stats to show up on your HUD, uncheck every single box except 6-MAX NL.

The image (below) shows a few more checkboxes in the B section of the Player Preferences window and is detailed further on the following pages.

Show Abbreviations Options for Configuration

Show Abbreviations enables abbreviations for HUD Stats to show in your HUD Overlay. New users to HUD software should check this box until they are familiar with the HUD Stats and where they are located. See the two pictures below to see the difference:

Show Abbreviations Checked You can edit the abbreviations as well. See Abbreviations

Not Checked

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 113 of 147

Fix My Stats Position Options for Configuration

Checking this box will allow you to move the HUD Elements around on every single table you have open by just moving a HUD Element on a single table. Basically this lets you adjust one tables Stats Position and it automatically moves the stats on the other tables for you.

When the option is not checked, you need to manually move the same Stat Overlay on every single table you have open.

Use Multiple Panels Options for Configuration

Using Multiple Panels breaks up your HUD into multiple pieces. This is very useful if you want full customization of your HUD Overlays. Some poker sites dont have much free-space on their tables so using Multiple Panels may clean up your screen a little.

The screens below show the difference between not using Multiple Panels, and using Multiple Panels:

No Multiple Panels

Multiple Panels

As you can see, the Multiple Panel screen above has the Panels staggered. Each of those three Panels can be moved in any location independently by right-clicking the Panel and dragging it. You could have the name/hands Panel on the top of the player and the stats below the player. Its up to you on how you want to position the Panels now. To setup breaks in the panels, you must use a New Panel separator when adding stats. See the image on the next page.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 114 of 147

By default, Holdem Manager uses a Line Feed (New Line) to breakup rows of stats. Remember, if you check the Use Multiple Panels checkbox, you must change the Line Feeds to New Panels.

Disable Hero in HUD Options for Configuration

Self explanatory Removes the Heros stats from all HUD Overlays.

Show Table VP$IP Options for Configuration

Show Table VP$IP displays the overall table VP$IP. This HUD Element can be moved around just like any other HUD Element by right-clicking and dragging the window. This option also displays the overall table PFR (Pre-Flop Raise)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 115 of 147

Show Avg. Pot Options for Configuration

Show AVG. Pot will display on the Show Table VP$IP HUD Element when checked. This calculates the average pot size at the table.

Show Note Icon Options for Configuration

When checked, the Show Note Icon displays an Asterisk to the left of each players name in the HUD Overlay. If you have a note on a player it displays a colored notepad or selected picture icon.

For more information on Notes, see HUD Basics

Number of Pots Options for Configuration

Number of Pots is a drop-down menu item where you can display up to the last three pots played at a table. This is very handy for quickly seeing what happened in the previous hands. You can choose to display the last 1, 2, 3 pots or None. Number of Pots shows up on the Table VP$IP HUD Element when checked. See the image below to see the following HUD Element in action: Show Table VP$IP & PFR Show Avg. Pot Number of Pots

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 116 of 147

Opacity Options for Configuration

The Opacity Slider changes the Opacity of your HUD Overlay. Slide it to the left and your HUD becomes more transparent. Slide it to the right and your HUD becomes less transparent.

Scale Font Options for Configuration

The Scale Font checkbox allows you to change the font of your HUD characters. Check the Scale Font checkbox; and then click the font box directly below the Scale Font checkbox to change the fonts of your HUD.

Background / Alt Background / Default Text (B)

Background, Alt Background and Default Text dropdown color boxes all change the appearance of your HUD Elements.

Background: Changes the Background color of HUD Elements. Alt Background: When you double click a players HUD, this changes the background of their HUD to color selected for Alt Background. This is very useful if you want to highlight a player to make them stand out from the other players more. Double click the players HUD a second time and the background returns to the normal background. Default Text: This is simply the color of the Default Text in all HUD Elements.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 117 of 147

Configurations
You can create different HUD Configurations for different types of games. Example: If you play heads-up and want the VPIP stat broken down for Small Blind and Big Blind for these games, you can create a Heads Up config file. Heres how you do that: 1. Select New Config 2. Enter Headsup and click OK.

3. Remove all the stats from the Display These Stats column. 4. Add stats that are related to BB and SB play a. BB VPIP b. SB VPIP c. BB Preflop Raise d. SB Preflop Raise

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 118 of 147

5. Now check the HU checkboxes and make sure the 6-MAX and Full checkboxes are unchecked. 6. You have now created a Heads Up config file. Anytime you are playing heads up now, Holdem Manager will display your HUD Overlays with only Heads Up stats.

C HUD Overlay Stats

This part of the Player Preferences is fairly straight forward. (Picture below)

On the left you have the Available Stats Column. On the right you have the stats that get displayed on a HUD Overlays. (Display These Stats)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 119 of 147

Adding Stats: To add a new stat to your HUD, simply find the stat in the left column; then click the Add button. If you want the stat in a different position, highlight the stat and click the Move UP and Move Down buttons.

You can also double click any stat to add or remove it.

Removing Stats: Simply highlight the stat you want to remove and click Remove, or double click the stat to remove it.

Add New Line Break: To add a new row of stats, click the New Line button and move it up or down by clicking the Move Up & Move Down buttons to position it where you want your line break to be.

You can add as many rows of stats you like by using the add New Line button.

D HUD Overlay Stat Colors

Two Parts: Color Ranges Options

Color Ranges HUD Overlay Stat Colors

HUD Overlay Stat Colors is a very powerful tool allowing you to color code stats based on greater-than / less-than values. Click on any stat in the right column of the HUD Overlay Stats (Previous Page) and youll adjust the colors for that stat. (Right) is the 3-Bet stat I have highlighted. This is signaled by the top text that reads, Color Ranges for 3Bet. If you click a different stat in the HUD Overlay Stats, the text at the top will change to that stat to verify you are adjusting the colors of the proper stat. How it Works: 1. Highlight the stat you want to color code. 2. Select a color for the range you want. 3. Enter a value to the right of the less-than sign (Under Edit) 4. Click Add

Overview: For the 3-bet stats (above right) you see the following: Green < 3.00 White < 8.00 Red < inf

This means: 3-bet stats below 3.00 will be displayed in Green 3-bet stats between 3.00 and 8.00 will be displayed in White 3-bet stats above 8.0 will be displayed in Red Note: You can have up to 5 color codes per stat. You can change the colors and values by selecting the stat in the list, selecting the new color and value and clicking Edit.

Legacy support for hardwired popups

Adjust Color for Sample Size

This grays out stats that do not have a large sample size. The larger the sample size, the brighter the stat will be. (Very useful for quick analysis of how valid someones stats are. Obviously, you dont want to put much weight into players stats with less than 20 hands of stats.)

Abbreviation
Display name used if the Show Abbreviations checkbox is checked. To change the Abbreviation for a stat, highlight the stat in the Display These Stats: window and change the text in the Abbreviation box. Click Apply.

Table Preferences Table Preferences in Holdem Manager is where you adjust how Mucked Cards are displayed along with basics of how the HUD is displayed. Use the image below for reference and then go to the heading corresponding to the letters on the following pages.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 124 of 147

A Mucked Card Time

This is how long the Mucked Cards are displayed once the hand is over. The number in the box represents seconds. If cards are not shown due to a non-showdown pot, Mucked Cards are not displayed unless the player chose to show their cards.

B Mucked Cards Opacity

This slider lets you to set the Opacity of the Mucked Cards. This allows you to see what is behind the cards as the cards are displayed. Since Mucked Cards are shown at the start of the next hand, you might want to see whats behind those cards or change the position of the cards in the Mucked Card and Alignment Edit Mode

C Won/Loss Mucked
Won/Loss Mucked allows you to see what the players won or lost when Mucked Cards are displayed when the hand is over. Left = KK lost ($1300) Right = A8s won $1,450

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 125 of 147

D Click for Popup

When this is checked you must click an individual stat to get more information. By default, Holdem Manager has this off so you can mouse-over a stat to get more information. Once you click a stat to get more information, you can right click and drag the pop-up box anywhere you like. Click anywhere in the box to close the pop-up.

E WYSIWYG
Un-checking this box allows you to move one tables HUD element while not affecting other table HUD elements. This is for when you play on obscure network skins that don't allow you to have a preferred seat and your stats do not line up.

F Mucked Card and Alignment Edit Mode

Checking this and selecting Apply makes dummy mucked cards show up on an active table along with color coded Alignment helpers around HUD Stats. (See Screen Below)

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 126 of 147

Mucked Cards: Right click the cards and move them to your desired positions. Drag AA to seat 1, 22 to seat 2, 33 to seat 3, etc.

Alignment Flags: The Alignment Flags control how each players stats are aligned. Panels with just the left edge highlighted are left aligned. I.e. the left edge will always be in the same place, regardless of the size of the text in the panel. You can make a panel center-aligned by clicking on the right edge of the panel. The center of the panel will remain the same. For right aligned panel the right edge is always in the same place. You can change the vertical alignment properties in the same way.

Simply uncheck the Mucked Card and Alignment Edit Mode checkbox and select Apply to remove the dummy cards from your active tables.

Note: It is recommended you do not select done with the Mucked Card and Alignment Edit Mode check box checked. This will make the dummy Mucked Cards display on your tables until you come back and uncheck the checkbox.

G Lock the Layout

Once youve setup your Mucked Cards and have your HUDs position where you want them you might want to lock their positions. If youre 100% happy with all the HUD positions, check the Lock the Layout checkbox and you wont be able to accidently move any of the HUD elements. Using this is only advisable if you are 100% happy with all your HUD elements. Most people do not lock their layouts.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 127 of 147

H Force Ontop
This checkbox forces all HUD elements to be displayed on the top layer of your screendraw. Some poker sites will display graphics above Holdem Managers HUD elements and checking the Force Ontop checkbox should remedy this problem.

I Enable Logging
Enable Logging is nothing a normal user needs to worry about. This option spits out code and places it on your hard drive if one of the Holdem Manager Programmers contacts you to help solve a problem.

J Separator Character
The Separator Character allows you to change the character being displayed between stats on your HUD. By default its a forward slash. (/) On the left the Separator Character is / On the right the Separator Character is -

( / )

( - )

Only one character is allowed here so if you enter multiple characters only the first character will be used.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 128 of 147

K Overhang (Pixels)
The Overhang (Pixels) option allows you to set a maximum distance HUD elements will overhand from your table. This is mainly used when you make your tables smaller than the default sizes. Increasing this number means your HUD elements can go outside of your table boundary by that many pixels. Decreasing this number means your HUD elements wont be able to go outside of your table boundary as far.

L Grid (%)
This works with multi-panel displays. It helps you layout the panels in neat rows and columns. The size of the grid is the % of screen width and height. If you want a courser grid, make the number bigger. If you want to switch it off, make the value zero.

M Min Hands for Stats

If this is not set to 0, stats dont show up for players until theyve reached the number you entered in this box. If you enter 10 in this box that means no HUD elements or stats for any player with less than 10 hands in the Holdem Manager database will be displayed.

N Popup Time (ms)

Popup Time (ms) is how long before you mouse-over a stat in the HUD before more information is displayed. If this number is 1000 (1-Second) this means you must hover your mouse over a single stat for 1 second before more information is displayed. You can lower or raise this number however you like, but we recommend you keep it at the 750ms default setting. Note: Popup Time (ms) only works when the Click for Popup checkbox is NOT checked.

HUD Popup Configuration If you wish to design your own HUD Popup Configuration, check out the video tutorial links below: HUD Popup AVI format: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/Videos/Tutorials/popupConfig.avi HUD Popup Flash format: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/Videos/Tutorials/popupConfig.zip If you have further questions, please visit the forums.

Site Options The Site Options menu allows you to setup pre-fetch hands for Poker Stars along with viewing live stats from Part Poker. On the I-Poker network, you can detecting Heads Up, 6-MAX and 8-MAX tables so your stats are able to line up without using the standard Preferred Seating option inside of Holdem Manager.

Poker Stars
Setting up the Pre-fetch Hand Folder along with checking the Pre-fetch One Hand checkbox allows you to see HUD stats on the table before you sit down at a table.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 131 of 147

Party Poker
Here you can Track Live Hands and choose the folder where these live hands are being stored.

I-Poker
In the I-Poker Tab you can check the following checkboxes: Attempt to detect HU tables Attempt to detect 6-max tables Attempt to detect 8-max tables Since there's no way to setup Preferred Seating on the Ipoker network, checking one of these boxes helps Holdem Manager align your stats so you don't have to adjust them every time you sit down at a table.

Note: If you are playing a combination of the above tables, your stats will not line up.

Additional HUD Filters Additional HUD Filters allows you to exclude stats in your HUD Overlay. This is somewhat of an advanced feature of Holdem Manager and most users should have no need to adjust anything here. You have the following Options: Filter for # of Players Filter by Date Filter by Limits Min # of Hands

Filter for # of Players: The column on the left (# Players) represents how many players are seated at your current table. The other two columns are Min and Max players you want stats for.

Example: Lets say were playing a 6max SNG and we know that once it gets to 3 people the stats for 6max are no longer relevant because we expect the villain to loosen up. If we change the "# of players 3" to 3 and max to 3 then we only see stats from the villain where he played while 3 handed. Any stats where the villain was 4 handed or heads up will not be shown. Where some people go wrong is where they only set "# of players 6" setting because they only play 6 max, this is wrong this doesnt go by the type of game your playing, it filters based on how many players are at the table. So if youre playing 10max and there are only 5 people left it will use the filter "# of players 5" not 10.

www.holdemmanager.net

Page 133 of 147

Filter by Date: Self explanatory insert the number of months you want your HUD Overlay to display stats on opponents.

Filter By Limits: When checked, this includes hands from other limits on your HUD Overlay.

Min # of Hands: If you dont want any stats on a player to be displayed until youve accumulated a certain number of stats on the player, check this box and enter how many hands you want on an opponent before stats start appearing in your HUD Overlay.

Disable HUD Stats when there is no Hero If this option is enabled and you are not seated at a table, no HUD Overlays will be displayed. Note: Some sites dont allow the collection of statistical data unless you are seated at the table. For these poker rooms no HUD Overlay will be displayed until you are dealt into a hand.

Setup Hero Names Setup Hero Names is where you enter your screen names from your poker clients so parts of Holdem Manager know who the Hero is. To do this, follow these steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Go to HUD Options/Setup Hero Names Click Add Type in your screen name from your poker client Select your screen name from the list Click Select.

Youve now added yourself as the Hero. Continue to do this to add more Hero names from different sites.

This is when youre facing a raise and you just call preflop. Same as Call Open except this only refers to 1 position like EP or BTN or SB unlike Call Open which is the total Open Call from all positions. Raise First is similar to Pre Flop Raise except it doesnt include 3bets as its only the 1st person to raise that has their Raise First stat effected and it doesnt include raising limpers. Same as Raise First except this only refers to 1 position like EP or BTN or SB unlike Raise First which is the total Raise First from all positions. This refers to preflop only where someone re-raises a raise. To explain the difference between prelop and postflop for the term 3bet. The BB is counted as a forced bet preflop, the open raise is then counted as a raise or 2nd bet and the 3bet is when someone re-raises. Post Flop the 1st bet is just a bet, the 2nd bet is a raise and a re-raise is sometimes referred to as a 3bet, just to be aware of the difference between the two. This is the same as Three Bet except this only refers to 1 position like EP or BTN or SB unlike Three Bet which is the total 3bets from all positions. This is similar to the 3bet except it requires their to be an open raise and 1 or more people to call and then when someone 3bets this is referred to as a squeez as there is 1 or more people in the middle between the Original Raiser and the 3bettor. This is the same as the Squuez except this only refers to 1 position like EP or BTN or SB unlike Squeez which is the total Squeez % from all positions. Where someone just calls in an unopened pot rather than raise or fold. Same as Limp except this only refers to 1 position like EP or BTN or SB unlike Limp which is the total Limps from all positions. Where someone limps and then calls a raise

Fold to 3bet Four bet Fold to 4bet

How often the person folds to a 3bet (see 3bet for more details) When someone re-raises a 3bet (See 3bet for more details) When someone facing a 4bet folds 4bet range is calculated by: Total PFR divided by Total 4bet %. The thing to keep in mind is that most 4bet situations will involve later positions and PFR and 4bet % will be higher from late position than the overall PFR and 4bet would be. As 4bet by position isnt currently being compiled it would take a major overhaul to have it calculated the latter way but it will be introduced in the future. When someone raises from the CO, button or Small Blind when the pot is unopened. When someone raises from the CO when the pot is unopened. When someone raises from the Button when the pot is unopened. When someone raises from the SB when the pot is unopened. When in the SB facing a raise from either the Cut-off or button and they fold. When in the SB facing a raise from either the Cut-off or button and they call. When in the SB facing a raise from either the Cut-off or button and they 3bet. (See 3bet for more details) When in the BB facing a raise from either the Cut-off, button or SB and they fold. When in the BB facing a raise from either the Cut-off, button or SB and they call. When in the BB facing a raise from either the Cut-off, button or SB and they 3bet. (See 3bet for more details) Aggression factor is calculated (Bet + Raise) / Call, checking or folding has no effect Aggression Factor based on the flop only Aggression Factor based on the turn only Aggression Factor based on the river only Aggression percentage can be anything from 0-100 and is based on an aggressive action on each street. So if I bet the turn and the river but check the flop I would have 66% Agg Pct because I made 2 out of 3 aggressive actions. Aggression Percentage based on the flop only Aggression Percentage based on the turn only Aggression Percentage based on the river only When you check and then someone bets and you raise them. Remember its calculated by the times you check raise divided by the amount of times that you have the opportunity to check raise and not the amount of times you check raise divided by no of streets seen. Check Raise based on the flop only Check Raise based on the turn only Check Raise based on the river only Check Raise in a pot that had a raise preflop
