How to Launch HUD

1. Open Asian Hand Converter. You’ll get a pop up window telling you that BlueStacks instance(s) have been detected and that you need to close all instances first before patching them. Once all BlueStacks instances are closed, click on OK.

 

2. Wait for about 30 seconds up to 2 mins for the patching process to finish, until it says ‘Done!’.

 

Important: AHC checks the db configuration on launch if appropriate options are checked in AHC settings (it’s checked by default, but you can disable it). If the configuration is incorrect, then AHC shows a pop-up with the warning message where you can also fix the db configuration.

But if that option is disabled, or for some reason AHC doesn’t detect problems in the db configuration, then you can go to the settings then switch between databases.

First, click on AHC settings:

 

Then select another database except HM3, then click on Apply.

 

 

Open AHC settings again:

 

 

This time, select HM3 database, then click on Apply.

 

 

When you switch between databases, then AHC updates the db configuration.

 

3. On Asian Hand Converter, click on Settings.

 

4. Make sure the correct database is selected (HM3). Also check if BlueStacks emulator and PokerBros are checked (they’re checked by default). Additionally, turn on/off any other options that you require, then click on Apply.

Note that you’ll need to click ‘Patch BlueStacks’ from AHC Settings window everytime you add/clone a new Nougat 32-bit instance.

 

 

5. Once the import folder is properly set up, click START CATCHER from the Asian Hand Converter.

 

6. Open BlueStacks Emulator, and from there Open PokerBros. On Asian Hand Converter, the emulator will be listed with a “Ready” label.

 

Important: HUD only works on CLUB GAMES, and NOT on Lobby Games. So you’ll need to create your own club or join one.

 

7. For instructions on how to join a private club, click here.

 

8. Once approved to join a private club, you will find the club on the app home screen. (just scroll sideways to see all the clubs where you can enter).

Click on a club to enter it.

 

9. Read the Club Promotion Rules, tick the box “I have read…” and click confirm.

 

10. From here you’ll see all available tables. Click on a table you want to enter. (Note: To be able to play, you’ll need to request chips from your agent/Club owner)

 

11. Once you start playing, wait for one full hand then the HUD will appear.

 

The table number will also show up on Asian Hand Converter.

 

That’s it. You may need to click on STOP HUD and START HUD in the Holdem manager ACTIVE SESSION screen, but you shouldn’t have to.
