HUD
HUD (Head-Up Display) is a tool that helps to make better decisions when playing
poker.
HUD is an easy-to-use and helpful tool that is displayed right on the poker table.
HUD collects and displays information about how the opponents are playing.
HUD shows your opponents' preflop playing style, which will help you understand which cards they are playing
with.
HUD shows the aggression of opponents on the post-flop, which gives an understanding of how often they
bet.
Additionally, the HUD shows how lucky the opponent is in the game.
Note: opponent's HUDs are displayed if the player has played 10 hands with an opponent on
the table or in a tournament.
The player's HUD is displayed when you have played 10 hands on the table or in a
tournament.
Game style
The player’s preflop style is useful to determine which hands the opponent is playing and how aggressively he is doing it.
Players who usually play a small number of only the best hands are called tight players. Players who often play a
variety of hands are called loose players.
Players who tend to avoid confrontation and play non-aggressively
are called passive players.
Players who frequently raise on the preflop are called aggressive players.
The
fact that a player is tight or loose does not indicate how the player plays the hand, but only indicates the range
of hands.
But at the same time, how they play these hands – passively or aggressively – will determine which
style the opponent plays.
HUD defines 5 game styles: Nit, Rock,
Shark, Auto-caller, Maniac.
PFR (Preflop raise) – the percentage of raises on the flop.

Aggression
Knowing the opponent's aggression on the post-flop is useful for understanding what the player does more often: call or raise.
If a player calls more often, then they tend to passively play good hands, or continues to play with a weak hand.
If
a player raises more often, then it is more comfortable for them to bet than to call other people's bets.
HUD
defines 3 levels of aggression: Low, Average, High.
The style icon turns blue.
For example, for a player with nit style and low aggression, the game style icon will look like this:
The style icon turns silver.
For example, for a player with shark style and average aggression, the game style icon will look like this:
The style icon turns orange.
For example, for a player with nit style and low aggression, the game style icon will look like this:
Luck

The luck level is shown as animation on the
player's cards.
Luck shows how often a player has won pots in the last 10 hands.
In the last 10 hands, the player has won more than 10 bb in each of 3 different hands.
HUD Tooltip
When you hover over the style or luck icon, a tooltip with the description of the current HUD data will be shown.

Statistics
Detailed statistics helps to understand better your game, the game of your opponents and make more informed
decisions.
Use statistics to identify your strengths/weaknesses and improve your playing skills.
The following statistics are displayed in the information window:
- VPIP (Voluntary put $ in pot) – percentage of voluntary participation
in hands.
VPIP increases when a player could fold but instead commits money to the pot preflop. - PFR (Preflop raise) – the percentage of raises on the preflop;
- 3bet PF (3bet on preflop) – the percentage of 3bet's (third bet) on the preflop;
- Total AFq (Total aggression frequency) – the percentage of aggression of the player in the postflop;
- Hands – the number of hands in the session/tournament;
- WON – the player's win/loss.
Under the statistics, brief descriptions of the player's game style, aggression and luck are displayed.
