Getting started with HUD
On mobile poker apps, such as PokerBros or Red Dragon, you just run Hand2Note and you’re ready to go. The HUD shows up automatically without any prior adjustments.
1. Make sure your poker client is set to English.
2. In your poker application, look for an option like "Save Hand Histories", and select a folder where the poker client will store these files.
3. Open the Configuration tab in Hand2Note.
4. Click Add-auto import folder…
5. In the system dialog that pops up, choose the same folder you've selected in the poker client. This is what we refer to as the auto-import folder.
The final configuration should look like this.
6. You're all done! The HUD should update after the current hand is completed.
Some poker apps may require additional, specific steps for the HUD to function correctly. For more in-depth guidance, refer to the setup guide tailored to your particular poker site:
