HUD

This tab is used to configure HUD.

HUD is designed to display a variety of information on the table during the game. In addition, HUD must be enabled, if you use one of the following options:

    • 'Table highlight' option

    • Options / Convert chips / Custom bet box

Checkbox 1 is used to enable the HUD.

HUD consists of panels, each of which can display a variety of information consisting of text and a set of tags.

There are two types of panels - Table panels and Player panels.

Table panels are designed to display general information on the table, such as pot odds, the number of active players at the table, stack to pot ratio, etc.

Player panels are designed to display information for each of the players at the table, such as position, player actions, stack in big blind, etc.

To create a Table panel, switch to tab 2, then click 4. In the list 6 will be a new panel with the default name, such as panel1 or panel2.

To modify the panel is to be selected in the list 6, its current settings are displayed on the right.

In order to modify the displayed information in the panel, you must edit the format string 7. Format string may consist of text and a set of tags. Tags are the variable values, in the Format string they are specified using their names in square brackets.

When displayed on a table tag names are replaced by their values, and other text is unchanged. For example, a panel with format string

Call: [%] Push: [p%]

will display the following text:

Call: 35 Push: 44

where 35 - current odds to call, and 44 - odds to push. The text 'Call:' and 'Push:' displayed without changes, but instead of tags displayed their values, in this case, 35 and 44, respectively ([%] is a call odds tag, [p%] is a push odds tag).

In addition to tags, converted to text, there are the control tags. They can change text color and to control the display of the panel on specified conditions.

Checkbox 13 controls the display of a panel. If the panel is temporarily not necessary to you, you can disable its display instead of deleting it completely.

The button 11 is used to select the background color of the panel. Checkbox 12 controls the display of a background of a panel (turn it off to display text only).

The button 9 is used to select the font and some of its properties - size and bold style. The button 10 is used to select the font color.

Checkbox 14 is used to select the type of alignment when changing its size. The size of the text in the panel may change due to changes in tag values, and this parameter determines which part of the panel remainsstationary while resizing.

    • Left - left-justified panel. The left boundary of the panel will be fixed when resizing.

    • Right - right-justified panel. The right boundary of the panel will be fixed when resizing.

    • Center - centered panel. Center of the panel will be fixed when resizing.

The button 8 is designed to add a tag to Format string. The tags can be typed manually, but it is more convenient to do it with this button. It causes a dialog to add a tag, where you can select the desired tag from the list.

Also, for each tag in the list, there is a small description.

To add a tag, select it from the list and click 'Add' (or you can simply double click an item in the list). The tag is inserted into the Format string at the cursor position.

These buttons can be configured to any bet size, also they can be placed anywhere on the table, and you can make as many buttons as you need. The [preflop] and [heroAct] tags can be added to the Format string, as a result this panel will be displayed on the table only at turn of the hero on preflop. For example, Format string for 3.5 big blinds bet can be "3.5bb[preflop][heroAct]". For postflop bets you can use [postflop][heroAct] tags combination.

Custom bet buttons

OnClick feature of Table panels allows to create an on-screen betting buttons of different configurations. Unlike the standard betslider buttons implemented in the poker client, here you can create any number of buttons, arrange them as you like on the table and set any complex bet values.

In order to create a button, do the following:

    1. Add a panel in HUD / Table panels

    2. Set the text that corresponds to the content. This can be, for example, "3bb", "75%", "2/3", etc. Note that the text itself does not specify the size of the bet, it is simply a comment to the button, and bet size should be set separately.

    3. Select in OnClick one of the options Bet or Bet with autobet.

    4. In the bottom line, enter the formula. Typical formulas are 2.5bb for a 2.5bb bet, x0.75 for a bet or raise at 75% of the pot, raise*3 - for a 3x raise relative to the previous raise (this will also work for a 3bb open raise).

    5. Move the panel to the desired place of the table, adjust the background color, font, frame size, etc.

    6. Once everything is set up, panel control tags such as [preflop], [postflop], and [heroAct] can be added to panel text. For preflop betting, it's convenient to add a combination of [preflop][heroAct] tags, postflop betting - [postflop][heroAct]. In this case, the buttons will be displayed on the table only during your turn and only on the appropriate street. In addition, in this case you can place the buttons for preflop and postflop in the same places.

It shows the size of the pot on the next street, provided that only one opponent does call your bet (most likely caller), and on this street will no any raises after your bet.

[BluffEquity] - shows how often your opponent should fold, to make the bet/raise profitable. This tag is computed dynamically when the value in bet box is changed. It can be used to estimate the required fold equitywhen making bluff steal, continuation bet, donk bet, raise, 3bet/4bet/5bet etc.

Tags with the TL_ prefix program gets from the tournament lobby. In order to enable them to be updated, the lobby of this tournament must be open. You can open it manually or use the option Options / Autorefresh [TL _...] tags (in addition, some tags will not be updated at all if this option is not enabled, therefore it is recommended to enable it in any case when using them). This option automatically opens the lobby if it is not open, and hides it beyond the edge of the screen. When you close the table hidden lobby also automatically closes.

In this mode, you cannot open the lobby in the usual way (using the Lobby button on a table), and to get it from the edge of the screen, you can use one of the three methods that are in StarsCaption - hotkey (Hotkeys / Lobby), a button in the HUD (HUD / Table panels / OnClick / Lobby) or the option to open the lobby in the popup (HUD / Table panels / OnHover / Tournament lobby). You can see examples in the video below.

A short video on how to configure TL tags and how to work with the tournament lobby when using them:

Using formulas

In addition to tags, in HUD you can display calculated values using formulas. Formulas are specified using the syntax described here. In order to specify a formula, you need to place its text in {}. In addition to the usual variables used in formulas, you can also use any Table panels tags that have a numeric value. In Player panels you can use Player panels tags (except [bountyVal]), Table panels tags and any variables.

Examples:

{[CH_countPlayers]-[CH_ITM]} - formula that shows how many people are left to ITM zone (after getting into money it will show a negative value).

In the formulas, you can specify the number of decimal places. To do this, put the @ symbol at the end of the formula and then specify a number of decimal places. This, in particular, allows you to set the number of characters for any tags - for this just make a formula consisting of a single tag. For example, the formula {[%]@1} will show pot odds with one decimal place (and for such formulas consisting of a single tag, the Tag color range function will also work).

If the number of decimal places in the formula is not specified, then it will be determined by the HUD / bb decimals option.


Player panel tags

[pos] - player's position at the table. You can adjust it in the [pos] tag config dialog.

[nick] - player's nickname.

[country] - abbreviation of player's country. This tag can be configured in the [country] tag config dialog

The list contains all countries whose names are known StarsCaption. To search for the desired country, use the Filter field in the lower right corner (in this screenshot, all countries that have "rep" in their names are filtered out).

First of all, this function is intended to shorten the names of countries so that they do not occupy much space in the HUD.

In addition, instead of fully renaming a country, you can turn on the display of its two-letter abbreviation - for this, enable the Use abberviation for the [country] tag value option.

[!t] - hide the panel on the tournament table.

[!t] - hide the panel on the tournament table.

[!c] - hide the panel on the cash table.

This option is intended for those who do not want to transform to bb everything, and wants to have a bb stacks as additional information. If you need a bb stack for Hero only, you can move the rest of the panel over the edge of the table.

[effStack], [effStack_bb] - effective stack size.

[startStack_bb] - player's stack in big blinds at start of hand.

[startStack_bb+] - stack in big blinds at start of the hand before blinds posting.

X - check

C - call

oR - preflop open raise

R - raise

B - bet

F - fold

Here, the player open raised preflop, bet on the flop, check turn, call river.

Here you can configure all action symbols, set separate symbols for Call / Overcall / Call 3bet and Limp / 1st limp actions.

Also you can add action timings and action sizings to any displayed action. You can set separate font color for timings and sizings.

General HUD

Genegal HUD is designed to configure a separate common HUD window that is independent of the tables. It is intended to display general information, such as the session duration, the total number of hands played, the number of tournaments played, etc. All this information can also be displayed directly on the tables, but if you do not want to overload them with the same type of information, you can bring all this to the Genegal HUD.

Setting up this HUD is similar to setting up the Table panels (and all the tags are also taken from there), but there are some differences.

HUD consists of panels located one above one. The screenshot above shows the default version of HUD consisting of six panels. In three of them only text, and another three have tags. Text and tags can be freely composited in any way, as in Table panels (you can insert several tags into one panel, separating them with text and [c =] and [c =!] tags to change the text color).

For each panel, the background color, size, font color and type, text alignment (left, center and right), frame width and click action are individually customized.

The size of the HUD window is not directly adjustable - it is calculated automatically based on the size of the panels. You can resize the panels by changing the font, the width of the border, adding text (or just spaces on the sides).

To move the panels up and down the list there are a couple of buttons with arrows.
