HUD stats cover table

[slamdonked]

Hi Y'all,
I am a new customer who is having HUD trouble. All I need is the little info box beside each player giving me the vital stats. I am getting a huge box for each player, which completely covers the table and doesn't allow me to use the table buttons.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?

It sounds like you turned one of your popups into a "display on table for everyone" group - you'll want to set it back to For Popup Use Only and then link it to the group you actually want to display on the table.

See the Tutorial: Managing HUD Groups for a detailed walkthrough on how to change these settings.

Thanks for getting back to me! Sounds about right. I don't understand that bit about groups and linking to them though. If I just want the stats on the people I am playing against, can't I just get that automatically?

Those stats are for the people you're playing against.

The way the PT3 HUD works is that there are different groups, each of which is a different box. Groups can be set to display for everyone (in which case you see every box on the table for every villain), or to display as popups.

So if you have group A that displays on the table and has just VP$IP on it, but you also build group B that's a popup that has 100 other stats, you can have group B appear only when you click on group A. By default in the PT3 HUD there is one on table group that when you click on has 4 attached popup windows.

If you want to reset your HUD to the default, you can click Configure --> Configure HUD, choose the profile you want to reset (tournament or cash) from the drop down menu at the top, then click Options --> Replace Current with Default and the HUD will be replaced with the default HUD - which only shows VP$IP, PFR, AFq, the player's name and number of hands as well as an icon to take notes on the players - it's a lot less than any of the popups :)

Magic. You were right about the pop-ups only thing. I was displaying full stats for each player and couldn't get near the table!! Thanks for that. I think I will take your advice too and reset everything to default and start again! Jeeez, what a donk I am!

Don't worry about it - PT3 has a lot of configuration options and a lot of power, and it does take a bit of getting used to. Once you get the hang of it though, I'm sure you'll love it :)
