Complete guide to install and configure the converter and HUD for PPPoker
Over the past few years, mobile poker apps from Asia have become a breath of fresh air for professional players. Very lucrative pools and weak opponents have become a powerful argument for the poker migration. And the constantly deteriorating playing conditions in the leading poker rooms stimulate even the most conservative players to seek alternatives.
One of the most popular mobile applications is PPPoker. In terms of traffic volume, PPPoker significantly surpasses most similar places for the game. The mobile poker room regularly holds various promotions to attract new players, signs contracts with professional players, and even conducts large offline series. Everything seems to be good, but what's the catch?
The catch lies on the surface: PPPoker is a mobile poker application, which means that neither PokerTracker 4, Holdem Manager 3, Hand2Note, nor DriveHUD can directly import hand histories from there. Hence, no HUD and no statistics while playing. Are we putting an end to the plans to develop new PPPoker waters? No matter how it is! There is a solution and it is called "PPPoker HUD Catcher".
What is PPPoker HUD Catcher?
PPPoker HUD Catcher is a poker program that works in conjunction with Holdem Manager 3, PokerTracker 4, Hand2Note, DriveHUD and allows you to display HUD and import hand history while playing in the PPPoker application. Unlike most other Asian poker applications, PPPoker has recently had a significant advantage - an official client for Windows. In practice, the availability of PPPoker on PC also saves you from a headache of setting up Android emulators. HUD Catcher works both at cash tables and in tournaments.
The poker room does not prohibit the use of poker trackers (although there is no separate list with allowed programs on PPPoker). In practice, no one had any problems with the HUD.
