# Why Hand2Note HUD?

Many professional players consider Hand2Note one of the most powerful poker HUDs and trackers available today.

At the same time, an effective HUD does not need to cover the table with dozens of panels and hundreds of stats.

Hand2Note works equally well with advanced professional HUDs and simple compact layouts.

Even compact HUDs still provide quick access to additional stats, popups, notes, and other useful in-game tools.

# Choosing a HUD

Start with a HUD that feels comfortable for your game and table setup.

Choose between default HUDs, fully custom layouts, automatic HUD systems, or ready-made HUD packages from the official store.

# Main HUD Types

Hand2Note supports three main HUD types:

- Static HUD — shows the same stats for every player. This is the simplest and most popular HUD type.

- Positional HUD — adjusts displayed stats depending on player position, player type, or other conditions.

- Dynamic HUD — changes displayed stats depending on player actions and the current hand situation.

Example of a dynamic HUD — the Preflop / 3Bet Pots panel appeared after an open raise.

Read more about HUD types in our article about Poker HUD in Hand2Note.

# Auto HUD

Auto HUD complements the main HUD by automatically displaying the most relevant stats for the current situation.

The software detects table action in real time and shows matching statistics from your setup whenever enough hands are available.

The Auto HUD panel first appeared for the open raiser, then for the player who made a 3-bet.

Enable or disable Auto HUD in: Configuration → HUD.

Enabling Auto HUD in Hand2Note Configuration.

# Ready-Made HUDs

Not sure which stats matter most during play? Or simply do not want to spend time building a custom HUD?

Ready-made solutions from Poker HUD Store are a great place to start.

Browse ready-made HUDs and stat packages in Poker HUD Store.

The official store includes HUDs and stat packages created by professional players, coaches, and poker schools.

Layouts are available for almost every format — from beginner-friendly HUDs to advanced setups for MTT, Spin&Go, Cash, and PLO.

# Popups and Advanced Statistics

A Hand2Note HUD is not limited to stats displayed directly on the table.

Additional information becomes available instantly through the popup system.

# Stat Popups

Hover over any stat to open a popup with visual charts, hand ranges, bet sizing breakdowns, next actions, and other advanced statistics.

Popup opened on the Open Raise → Bet → Bet stat with additional statistics and turn bet range visualization.

Bet sizing groups, board textures, and hand strength display inside popups can all be customized separately in Hand2Note configurations.

# Assigned Popups

Replace the default stat popup with a completely custom one.

Hovering over a stat can then display completely different information.

Assign a popup through HUD Editor:

1. Open HUD Editor.

2. Click the required stat cell.

3. In the Properties panel, select + Assigned popup and choose a popup from the list.

Assigning a popup to a stat in HUD Editor.

# Main Player Popup

Click any HUD panel to open the main player popup with all key opponent information in one place.

The popup gives quick access to detailed stats, notes, player graphs, and other advanced information.

Any custom popup can be used as the main popup. Hand2Note automatically adds a graph tab, notes, and a settings panel.

Selecting a different popup to open by default.

# Notes and Visual Markers

Statistics alone are not always enough during play.

Personal observations often help players adapt faster and find exploitative adjustments more easily.

# Player Notes

Hover over the notes icon to open the notes popup.

Inside the popup, add notes manually, use templates, attach hands, and replay hands from the beginning to review the entire action.

Notes can also be attached directly to individual stats, keeping important reads and observations exactly where they matter most.

Example of a note added to the VPIP stat. A small red dot next to the stat in the HUD indicates added notes.

Read more about the notes system in our separate article about Notes in Hand2Note.

# Last Showdown Indicator

When multi-tabling, important showdowns and table dynamics are easy to miss.

To help with this, Hand2Note tracks recent showdowns and displays the latest revealed opponent hands through a dedicated eye indicator.

Recent hands popup opened from the Last Showdown indicator.

Hovering over the indicator opens a list of recent hands for quick review or note-taking.

# Colored HUD Border

Colored HUD borders make important opponents easier to spot instantly.

The border color automatically follows player color labels and helps quickly identify profitable tables and recreational players.

HUD panels with colored borders based on player color labels.

The feature is especially useful on poker sites and Asian apps where standard color labels may be difficult to see or partially hidden behind the HUD itself.

Enable colored HUD borders in: Configuration → HUD → “Display player’s color marker as a HUD border”.

Enabling colored HUD borders in Configuration.

# Player Badges

Player badges provide another quick way to mark opponents during play.

Multiple badges can be assigned to the same player to highlight tendencies, strategy patterns, or important reads.

Assigning a badge to a player through the notes popup.

Use built-in badges or add your own custom images through Stat Editor.

Stats Editor: adding a new custom badge.

# HUD Display During Play

HUD elements do not always need to stay visible.

Grouping, hiding, and simplifying HUD panels helps keep the table clean and comfortable even with large amounts of statistics.

# Hide HUD After Fold

During a hand, HUD panels for inactive players can hide automatically.

This removes unnecessary information from the table and helps focus only on players still involved in the hand.

The HUD remains visible only for the player still involved in the hand.

Automatic HUD hiding supports several situations:

- when a player folds;

- when Hero folds — hide all HUD panels until the hand ends;

- when observing tables without Hero at the table.

Automatic HUD hiding settings.

# Show HUD Only on Hover

This mode works well for players who rarely look at statistics during play. The HUD only appears when the cursor moves over it.

Streamers also often prefer this mode because viewers can follow table action more clearly without too many numbers on the screen.

The HUD appears only when hovering over it.

Configure mouse-out opacity separately for the entire HUD or individual panels through HUD Editor.

Select the required panel and set transparency from 0 to 1.

# HUD with Tabs

Split stats into tabs to avoid overloading the table with rarely used information.

With tabs, additional stats only appear when needed.

Example of statistics grouped into tabs.

Add the Inner Tabs element inside HUD Editor and drag the required panels or stat tables into the tabs.

Adding Inner Tabs in HUD Editor.

# Session Control

Reviewing sessions and saving important hands remains an important part of poker improvement for many professional players.

# Marking Hands During Play

During a session, hands can be marked in several ways:

- through the H icon at the table;

- with hotkeys F5 and F6 (change hotkeys in: Configuration → HUD)

- or through the Last Hands list.

Menu opened from the H icon at the table.

All marked hands appear in the Marked Hands section for quick review, sorting, and tag filtering.

Hands can also be exported for coaching or review in third-party software.

# Sessions and Results

Hand2Note automatically tracks current session results, including graphs, hand count, duration, and overall statistics.

Review played hands, mark important spots, and export hands directly from the Sessions section.

Besides personal results, the section also helps track table statistics, sort tables by VPIP, view opponent statistics, and find players encountered most often.
