How it works

Step-by-step guide

Follow the process in order, then check the room's current lobby and cashier terms before committing funds.

  1. 1

    Choose a HUD program

    Popular HUD options include PokerTracker 4, Hold'em Manager 3, and DriveHUD. Each offers different features and price points.

  2. 2

    Install and configure

    Install your chosen HUD software and configure it to detect Ya Poker's hand histories. Set the correct hand history directory in the HUD settings.

  3. 3

    Set up the hand history path

    Find Ya Poker's hand history folder in the client settings and point your HUD to this directory.

  4. 4

    Configure your HUD layout

    Set up your HUD to display the most important stats: VPIP, PFR, 3-Bet%, Fold to 3-Bet, CBet%, and Aggression Factor. Start simple and add stats as you learn to use them.

  5. 5

    Test at the tables

    Join a low-stakes table at Ya Poker to verify the HUD is working correctly. Stats should appear after a few hands.

Tips and best practices

  • Start with basic stats (VPIP/PFR) and gradually add more as you learn to interpret them.
  • A HUD is only useful if you understand what the stats mean and how to apply them to your decisions.
  • Ya Poker's hand history exports enable post-session analysis — review your play regularly.
  • The most important HUD stats for beginners: VPIP (how often they play), PFR (how often they raise), and 3-Bet% (aggression level).
