Configuring PokerStars To Work With Holdem Manager 3
PokerStars writes Hand Histories
and Tournament Summaries to your hard drive. Once we ♠ successfully Auto Import hands
into Holdem Manager 3 we can setup other PokerStars options like Preferred Seating,
Hotkeys and Capturing ♠ Observed Hands.
Note :
PokerStars are imposing rules that greatly
inhibit how HUDs can work. The changes can be viewed here -
♠ //holdemmanager/Downloads/tpt-reference-guide-march-4.pdf
which was discussed in
detail in this thread -
http://forums.holdemmanager/notecaddy/531706-poker-stars-new-rules.html - when the
rules were originally announced.
These features that will ♠ no longer work on the live
tables will still work in the replayer for the hands played at Stars and ♠ Full Tilt as
long as the poker client is closed.
The latest restrictions from the new 04Mar2024 rule
change are: 3+ ♠ Bet Premium stats, NASH Popups, and TableScanner can't be used on live
tables, and the HUD Settings - Tournament Filters ♠ - Stack Size filters are not allowed
to update automatically.
We have changed other features in HM3 such as the HUD ♠ Editor >
'Color Ranges'. HM3 will only color stats based on the first two color ranges and all
other stat ♠ values will have the default color.

Hand History.
Critical: ♠ Make sure the Save My Hand History checkbox is

Playing History Audit
Preferred Seating
allows your HUD to be displayed next to the correct player. If you have ♠ HUD alignment
issues, setting up Preferred Seating will fix it.
From the PokerStars lobby, click
Settings > Table Appearance > Preferred ♠ Seat. Select Always Auto-Center Me. Click
OK.
Preferred Seating FAQ
From the PokerStars lobby, select Settings > Global >
Language .
Set "Play ♠ in" to English .
If you play tournaments, you should also select
Settings > Global > Language . Set EMAIL IN ♠ to English .
It's very important to set the
PokerStars language to English because Holdem Manager 3 will not import hand ♠ histories
or tournament summaries unless they are in the English language.
In order to use
PokerStars hotkeys while the HM3 HUD ♠ is running, you must run PokerStars as
administrator. Right click the shortcut that you use to launch the PokerStars
application ♠ and choose Properties.
Click Advanced and then enable the “Run as
administrator” option and click OK.
*Note: PokerStars client Hotkeys will not ♠ override
the HM3 Hotkeys in the HM3 - HUD - HUD Options - General Settings - Advanced -
'Hotkeys' menu.
This ♠ is a special feature that integrates with the PokerStars client
and allows you to display a HUD overlay before you ♠ are seated at the table. Only a
limited number of hands can be observed in each session. (This feature does ♠ not work on
the Zoom tables.)
Open Holdem Manager 3.
Click Tools > Site Settings > PokerStars >
Capture Observed Hands.
Make sure ♠ Capture Observed Hands is checked.
If you have played
tournaments before you enabled tournament summaries, you can request Playing History
Audit ♠ to improve results accuracy for tournaments without summaries.
From the
PokerStars lobby go to Tools > History & Stats > Playing ♠ History Audit.
After selecting
a Date Range and a Password for the audit file, select Text (CSV) for the report format
♠ and click the Submit button.
Once you receive the playing history audit you need to
import the file.
