Ok folks,

So this blogpost is about helping you installing and configuring PokerCopilot, a poker tracker software compatible with Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars. This software will help you track all your poker money, statistics and also help you in-game with a system called the Heads Up Display.

So the first thing to do is go to the PokerCopilot website and download the software. There’s a 30 day trial period if you want to give it a try, the full version is sold at $50 which is, in my opinion, a fair price because it will help you A LOT (in terms of losing less money at playing poker).

When the software is installed, you have to configure either Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars :

1. Activating hand history

In both poker rooms, you will need to activate hand history as this is NOT the default setting :

In PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker

Go to Options in the menu bar > Hand history options

Then, configure it as in this screenshot : BE SURE TO CHOOSE ENGLISH AS THE LANGUAGE AND SET THE DAYS TO 365.

Once you have done this, and after you have played a few rounds, PokerCopilot will start to collect and calculate many informations: this is the statistic functionality.

Now we will configure everything to start using the HUD : Heads Up Display.

2. The HUD: InGame Statistics

2.1 The Universal Access parameter :

In order to use the HUD, you will have to enable some options in the Universal Access pannel in the System preferences of your Mac

If you don’t know where this is, go to the Apple menu (top left) and choose “System Preferences”.

The option to tick is “Enable access for assistive devices”.

2.2 Now, inside PokerCopilot

Inside pokercopilot, you will now have to enable the HUD. Go into the programs preferences and select the HUD tab, then enable it. And then, just leave pokercopilot running in the background.

2.3 Open Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars

Start playing in a room, if the HUD is correctly enabled, you’ll see this note at the top of the table :

This means pokercopilot needs more information on the players to start displaying statistics. If this information “no hud data available yet” never dissapears, it means PokerCopilot cannot read your Hand history. So check back that if you have that issue.

Then, when stats are displayed, you should see this :

You can drag all these little bubbles, or click on them to show more detailed statistics on the player style :

And that closes this ticket on configuring poker copilot, hope you’ll enjoy this nice software. And support the developer, he’s a nice guy
