1. Minimum Hands Required: Use this option to tell Holdem Manager when to filter hands based on players at the table. If you have only 100 hands per player, then you may not want to start hand filtering.

2. Option "Stats from the last Hands" and option "Stats from the last weeks"

3. Option "Number of Players Filtered". You can use something similar, as in the above screenshot. The picture shows hand filtering based on heads-up, 6-max and 9-max.

With the above filter you will never mix 9-max hands with 6-max hands or heads-up in your HUD.

HUD Filters for Tournaments

The tournament stacks on the right side of this screen filter the hands based on the number of big blinds that the player has at the time the hand begins. Start by clicking on the “Recommended” button on the right, then adjust the filters to your preference.
