Setup Guide

You will need PokerTracker version 4.14.22 or newer to use this HUD.
If you have older version of PT4 installed please update it first.

1) Arranging HUD panels

2) HUD Filtering

3) Database maintenance

4) Automated HUD switching

1) ARRANGING HUD PANELS

On our 3H HUD some panels will be unused during the game and we advise you to hide them.
Make sure that you are hiding the panel for the correct player.
You can check player names on a panel if you hover mouse over any stat and hold it for a couple of seconds.
You should hide 3 panels for each player.

-For the player on the left you should hide BBvBTN, SBvBB PRE and SBvBB POST panels.
Drag them behind the BTN panel.

-For the player on the right you should hide SBvBTN , BBvSB PRE and BBvSB POST panels.
Drag them behind the BTN panel.

-To save the changes click on the PT4 icon and click ‘Save layout’

For detailed instructions check the video below.

2) HUD FILTERING

All stats on our HUD are coded to automatically filter number of players at the table so there is no need for filtering in PT4.
In fact, we advise you to remove all the filters from PT4 ‘Hud Options Configuration’ window if you have them.
Some of the stats on the PLAYER Panel will not work properly if you have these filters active so please follow the guide below to remove the filters.

Open the PT4 software
Open ‘HUD’ > ‘Edit HUD Options’ window
If you don’t have any filters in ‘Numbers of Players Filtered’ tab you are OK
If you have 2-2 and 3-3 filters active, select each one of them and delete them respectively
click OK to save your changes

Your HUD is now fully functional and all the stats will work as intended.

3) DATABASE MAINTENANCE

CUSTOM CACHE REBUILD

Every time you install a new HUD in PT4, you should rebuild cache in your PokerTracker database or your HUD might become slow or unresponsive.
Follow the guide below to rebuild cache:

Open the Pokertracker 4 (PT4) software
Open ‘Database’ > ‘Database Management’ window
Click on ‘Rebuild Cache’ > ‘Custom Cache Rebuild’

Depending on the size of your database and your hardware this process can take some time.
Once you start be patient and wait until it’s finished.
Do not close PT4 software even if it looks frozen or unresponsive!

DATABASE OPTIMIZATION

Over time, when you play a lot and import lot of hands, your PT4 might become slow and sluggish.
You can fix this problem by doing database optimization.
We recommend doing database optimization every few months to make things run at the optimal speed.
Follow the guide below to optimize your PT4 database:

Open the PT4 software
Open ‘Database’ > ‘Database maintenance’ window
Click on ‘Housekeeping’ > ‘Tune PostgreSQL’
Wait until the process is finished
Restart your computer
Go back to the same screen ‘Database’ > ‘Database maintenance’ > ‘Housekeeping’
Run these 3 operations in the following order:
1) Reindex
2) Cluster
3) Vacuum & Analyze

4) AUTOMATED HUD SWITCHING

Since PT4 version 4.15.7. there is a new feature that allows automated switching of hud profiles based on the number of players at the table.
You could use this new feature to automate your process, there is no need to switch profiles manually or with extra software.

Open Pokertracker(PT4) software
Go to Hud > Edit Hud Options in the PT4 menu
Choose Profile Select and T for tournaments
Choose Players = 3-6 > Profile = Tournament – 3H SPINnGO v1.0x > click Add
Choose Players = 2 > Profile = Tournament – 2H SPINnGO v1.0x > click Add
Click OK
