Different ways of marking hands
You can mark hands in Hand2Note in two situations:
- At the moment of playing at the table;
- Outside the table.
In the same way, it is possible to mark a hand by two methods:
- Using the tag;
- With no tag.
Marking hands at the moment of playing at the table
You can mark the necessary hand in a process of the game immediately after its completion (during the hand that follows it) by pressing hotkeys:
- “F5” – mark the last played hand at the table without using the tag;
- “F6” – mark the last played hand at the table using the tag.
In order to change the hot keys to the preferred ones: Open “Configuration” (1), go to the “HUD” menu (2), scroll down to the “Hot Keys” column (3), and change the parameters:
- “Mark last hand key” (4) – sets the hotkey for marking the last hand played at the table without using the tag;
- “Mark last hand with tags key” (5) – sets the hotkey for marking the last hand played at the table using the tag.
Marking hands outside the table
You can mark the necessary hand outside the table either in the “Sessions” section or in the “Reports” section – by finding it in either of them in the list of hands (“Hands”):
- For “Reports” section: In the main Hand2Note window open the “Reports” menu (1), find the hand you want to mark in the “Hands” list (2) and usd RMB (right mouse button). In the drop-down list choose how you want to mark the hand:
