The quick filters section allows you to generate common pre and post flop filters with just one click. The following is an overview of the Quick Filters section:
A) Quick Filters Tab – This is the first tab from the right of the create filter pop-up window.
B) Currently Built Filter – When a filter is created it will display in this box below. You can click on the X in the corner of the filter to remove it, or mouse over the filter to see a full description of the filter.

Once you select a filter it will turn GREEN indicating it’s active (set to YES). Click the same filter again to turn it RED, indicating it’s set to NO (or, filter for any scenario EXCEPT this situation).
To create a custom filter, simply click on the create filter menu option from the filter drop down at the top of DriveHUD.
You will then get a filter screen pop-up, where you can design a filter for a specific poker situation and display only that filter situation in DriveHUD. For example, say you want to create a filter every time you cold 4-bet a hand. That would mean you’d want to see hands where you were not the initial pre-flop raiser OR the person who 3-bet. To do that you’d click on the PFR button in standard filters TWICE (until it turned red). This would mean you’re adding a filter for situations in which you were NOT the pre-flop raiser. Then you’d click on the 4-bet filter ONCE, so it would turn GREEN. This would mean that 4-bet’s are set to YES, and you’re looking for spots you 4-bet. The combination of having PFR OFF and 4-bet ON would create a filter where you’re looking at only data when you cold 4-bet another player.
Notice that it will say that 4-bet=yes (green), and PFR=no (red) in the currently build filter section. If this is the filter you want to run, then click on APPLY and OK, and the filter will load and it will show the filter in the middle of DriveHUD in between the reports tab, and the hand grid as shown below:
To remove a part of the filter or the whole filter, simply click on the X button on each of the filters you have listed between the reports page, OR click on the FILTERS pull down from the top again, and select CLEAR ALL FILTERS.

DriveHUD offers several player type icon profiles (default) that will display as you gain information on your opponents and build history with them. You can view, add, and edit the existing profiles by clicking on the player type icon at the bottom right-hand corner of the HUD tab right by the selected stats section.
Player profiles are based on the stats you’ve accumulated on your opponent. The more stats you have on your opponent, the more accurate the profile will become. Profiles are a general overview of what kind of player you’re facing. They should never be considered absolute but should give you a quick visual representation of how your opponent is likely to play poker. Below is an overview of the different default player profiles included in DriveHUD:
NIT – This kind of player plays tight pre-flop, doesn’t 3-bet too much, and generally only plays very strong hands. They can play aggressive post flop, or sometimes passive. But generally, if you’re in a pot with them, they will have started with a top tier premium starting hand.
Fish – This is one of the easiest types of players to play against. They will play too many hands pre-flop, play their hands passively post flop, and go too far with mediocre hands they should have folded earlier in the hand.
Standard Reg – This is a decent poker player who is an experienced online poker player. They generally play a solid starting range of hands but know a bit about when and how to mix up their starting ranges. They play pretty decent and aggressive postflop and don’t make a ton of mistakes. They will generally play what is considered a TAG (tight-aggressive) style of play.
Tight Reg – This is a similar kind of player to the Standard Regular, but they will generally play a little tighter of a range pre-flop, and they will fold slightly more hands than they should post flop because of their slightly risk-averse nature. They play more of an ABC style of play that is right out of the poker book.
Bad LAG – This is generally someone who likes to plays a few more starting hands than they probably should, and plays fairly aggressive post flop. They tend to have a lot of holes in their post-flop game though and make a lot of post-flop mistakes. They can sometimes either be too passive in the wrong spots post flop, and too aggressive in others.
Tricky LAG – This is generally the player you want to avoid the most. They play a good amount of starting hands and know how to balance their ranges pre-flop and post flop. They are thinking players that can generally think one step ahead of most players. They know when they can get better hands to fold and can maximize the value of their better hands extremely well.
Whale – These are players that are playing way too many hands post flop, and generally just makes tons of post flop mistakes. They will go too far with hands they shouldn’t, and generally have a hard time folding post flop. They don’t bluff very often and if they do it usually won’t be in the right spots.
Nutball – The name kind of says it all. These players are really unpredictable, and generally just love to gamble it up. They will play too many hands pre-flop and do some really odd unpredictable things post flop. They make tons of pre-flop and post-flop mistakes.
You can also create your own player type profiles and use some of the existing icons that are in DriveHUD if you click CREATE NEW at the top of the player profile screen and then click LOAD to select one of the default icons. You can also import your own custom icon for a player profile you’ve created, but it must be 24×24 pixels.

The main RUN interface of Player X-ray is used to run notes on your entire database, by note profile, individual note, or all available notes. This should typically only be done one time, as player x-ray will automatically take notes anytime you’re involved in an online poker game. The run function is used if you decided to delete all your notes, and re-write notes for all players in your database, or you’re running it for the first time. Once you run a profile or all notes from this section, you won’t have to do it again. Please note that running time to write notes will vary based on database size and performance of your system. A typical 2-gigabyte DriveHUD database will generally take between 5-15 minutes to run.
A) Run – This is the Run menu option of player x-ray that will allow you to run notes on your entire poker database at once.
B) Run by… – This option allows you to run notes on your entire database 3 different ways. 1) By profile: You select a predefined profile from section D and click Start. This will run all of the notes that are listed for that profile only. 2) By Note: This will run one specific note only on your entire database. This option is handy if you’ve created a new note, and want to add it to all opponents all at once. 3) All notes: This option will run every note that exists in the database on every single player in your database. This option takes the longest to complete.
C) Start – Once you’ve made your Run by selection, and selected a profile if applicable, you then click START to begin the automated note writing process. The progress of the notes will be shown in the progress bar below. We recommend not playing in games at the time of running x-ray from the start menu.
D) Profile – When you’ve selected By Profile from section B, you then must select a profile in section D by clicking and highlighting it, and then clicking START to begin the note writing process.
E) Status Bar – This will show the current progress of the notes that are being written.
The profiles menu allows you to create or edit existing profiles. Profiles are sets of notes that were created from the notes menu. The following is an overview of how to use the profiles section of Player X-Ray.
A) Profiles menu – This section allows you to open a list of existing profiles, edit them, create new ones, or delete existing profiles.
B) Profiles list – This is where the current list of profiles is shown. To edit a profile, or see what notes exist in it, highlight that profile and the list of notes will be shown in Section C.
C) Notes list – This is the complete list of notes that exist in Player X-Ray. From here you can highlight notes, and add them to the currently selected (highlighted) profile by double-clicking the note or clicking on the right arrow key from (D).
D) Add remove note – When the right arrow is clicked, this will add the currently selected note from Section C to Section E. If you highlight a selected note from Section E and click the left arrow key, it will remove the note for that profile.
E) Selected Notes – This is the complete list of notes that are included in the currently selected note profile from Section B. You can double-click on any note in this section to remove it, or select the left arrow key from D, to remove a note. Once a note is removed, it can be added back into that same profile again.
F) Add Profile – Clicking this menu option will allow you to create a new profile. A pop-up menu will appear asking you for the new profile name. Enter it and click SAVE to create a new note profile.
G) Edit Profile – This option allows you to edit the profile name.
H) Delete Profile – By clicking this you will be asked if you’re sure you’d like to delete the currently selected note profile from Section B. By clicking yes, it will remove the entire profile. Once this is deleted it cannot be restored.
Player X-ray is an automated note-taking application that will allow you to see right through your opponents’ strategies in order to make the best possible adjustments to their game. Below is a quick overview video of how to use Player X-ray with DriveHUD.
From the notes menu option in Player X-ray, you can edit existing notes, create new notes, export notes to another user, or delete notes. The following is an overview of the Notes menu options.
A) Notes – This is the main menu option which allows you to edit and create notes.
B) Street Option – Select which street you’d like to edit notes for. Pre-flop notes, on the flop, turn or river.
C) General note options – From the general section, you can edit several options that correspond to the note you’ve selected from the list of notes section (section E). Any option that is changed it automatically saved.
D) Advanced / Simple mode switch – When you enter the notes menu, the edit options for notes defaults to SIMPLE mode editing. To go into more advanced editing options, click on the Advanced button.
E) List of notes – This section provides a full list of available notes. Some notes are grouped together and can be expanded or contracted by clicking on the main note option (example, clicking 3-bet will collapse all notes that are in the 3-bet sub-group). To create a new Group, click and highlight the pre-flop group at the top of section E, and click on ADD from the bottom menu (Option L). Then from the pop-up menu, check the group option, add your new group title, and click SAVE. To add a new note, just click on ADD from the bottom menu (option L), and enter the name of your new note, and click SAVE.
F) Title of Note – This displays the current title of the note you are editing.
G) Limit variety – Here you can select which limits you’d like the note to apply to, no-limit, pot-limit, or limit. The default option is set to all three.
H) Number of players – You can restrict the number of players a note is written for. For example, if you want to write a note that only applies in heads-up games, you can un-select all of the other player number options, and only check the heads up box. The default setting will apply to all player table sizes.
I) Position – Here you can limit what your note will apply to based just on position. The default setting enables all positions.
J) Pre-Flop Action Facing Hero – This option creates a note based on what action the player who is the focus of the hand (hero) is currently facing. Unopened means that no one has called or raised in the pot yet. 1 Limper means someone has just only called pre-flop. 2+ Limpers means there is more than one person who has called pre-flop without any raises. 1 Raiser means hero is facing on the person who has raised only. Raiser + Caller(s), means hero is facing a raiser plus one or more callers pre-flop. 2 Raisers means that hero is facing a pot that has already been 3-bet pre-flop (a raise + and additional raise). Every note that is written is looking at the hand from Hero’s perspective and hole cards.
K) Position of 1st Raiser – You can add options that will limit the note being written based on only a specific position from the table.
L) Add Note – Click here to create a new note or note group.
M) Edit Note – This will allow you to edit the name of a note or group.
N) Export – After you create a note, you can click this option to export it, so it can be imported on player x-ray program.
O) Delete – You can select to delete any existing note by clicking and highlighting it from Section E, and then click Delete.
P) Position of 3-bet – You can specify a particular position or positions of a 3-bet that has occurred for your note. The default setting is for any position to apply.
Q) Misc – Here you can set to minimum and maximum size of the pot. If you set both settings, it will only apply if it’s between those two sizes. You can also set whether the hand went to showdown, or if the hand applies to cash games, tournaments, or All-in pre-Flop.
R) Hole Cards – Here you can limit which hands apply to your note. The default option is to allow all hands. Any hand that is selected (in blue) will apply to the note. Any hands in grey will not apply.
S) Quick Select Hand Groups – By clicking any of the options in this section, you can quickly add an entire group of hands. To add all pocket pairs, for example, click on the pocket pairs option. To remove all pocket pairs, click on the pocket pairs button again.
T) Select All/None – To select all hand groups, click Select all. This will highlight all of the hands in blue. To remove all hands, choose select none. This will remove all hands and turn them grey.
U) Displayed Note – Select this option to edit what text will appear in relation to the note you’ve selected.
V) Include Board – If this option is selected, it will include as much of the entire board as exists for the hand so you can see the hand and the actual board together with the note. Example: If Hero’s hand was AcQc and the final board was Jc5h7dTcKc, the note would appear as: Name of note [AcQc(Jc5h7dTcKc)]. If this option is not checked, the same example would appear as: Name of note [AcQc].
W) Note Editor – Here you can edit or enter whatever you’d like to display as the text for the note you’re editing. You can enter as long of a title or format as you’d like.
The advanced mode setting in player x-ray provides more detailed options for writing automated notes. The following is an overview of the advanced mode options.
A) Actions – This is a list by list filter, to create a note based on the action taken by the hero. These actions can be set by street, from pre-flop actions, to flop, turn and river (section C).
B) Simple Mode – This button is to switch back to simple mode and out of advanced editing mode.
C) Street Actions – Here you can select which street you’d like to create an action filter for.
D) Action Sequence – The first action taken by the hero can be set to the following options. Any – which means all actions will be applied, bet, check, call or raise. Again, this is the first action taken by the hero. If you select Bet, Raise or Call, you’ll be given additional options to make this action based on the size of the pot in percentage as well.
Example: If you wanted to create a filter where hero check-raised the flop between 75-90% of the pot, you’d select the flop option from section C, then in the action sequence you’d set the first action to CHECK, and the second action to RAISE, and enter 75 and 90 in the between pot size percentage.
E) Filters – This option shows a complete list of filters that you can add or remove from your note, by double clicking on a filter in section F, and adding it to section H.
F) Filter List – This list is sectioned into pre-flop actions, flop, turn, river, and other actions. Any filter you want to apply to your note, you can double-click to add, or use the right arrow from Section G to add it to Section H.
G) Add & Remove – To add a filter to your note, click and highlight the note in Section F, and then click the right arrow to add it to Section H. To Remove a filter, you can highlight it in Section H, and click the left arrow to remove.
H) Selected Filters – Here you’ll see all of the filters that are currently applied to the select note being edited. You can double-click on any note in the selected filters section to remove it, or the left arrow from section G.
I) Hand Values – From this option, you can select which specific kinds of hands that you want to apply to your note. The default setting will use all hand values.
J) Street Selection – Choose the value of Hero’s hand to filter for based on the flop, turn, and river. You can look for a hand value for only one street, two streets, or all 3 streets.
K) Any Hand Value – A specific hand value that doesn’t include flush or straight draws can be selected. To select more than one type of hand, press CTRL + Left click to select as many hand values as you’d like. You must first uncheck any hand value option box, and then select which hands you’d like to add as a trigger for your note.
L) Any Flush Draw Value – Specific types of flush draws can be added as a trigger, as well as selecting the option that NO flush draw was present. To select more than one option, press CRTL + Left click.
M) Any Straight Draw Value – Specific types of straight draws can be added as a trigger, as well as selecting the option that NO straight draw was present. To select more than one option, press CRTL + Left click.
N) Board Texture – From this option you can select and edit specific board textures for the flop, turn, and river.
O) Board Texture Street – Each street can have a different board texture, or just set a specific texture for the flop turn or river from these options.
P) Filter by Texture – Once you set any of the texture options, you’ll have the filter by texture radio button selected. To switch this back to any board texture, just select any texture radio button.
Q) Flush Cards – Select if the board is Rainbow (3 different suits), Two of one suit, or three of one suit (monotone).
R) Number of open-ended straight draws – This option is especially helpful for Omaha players. You can set the limit of the number of straight draws present. Any number that is set will create a max threshold for this filter.
S) Number of Gutshots – Here you can set the maximum number of gutshots that are possible for Hero’s hand.
T) Number of possible straights – You can set the number of possible made straights equal to, greater than, or less than a set number from this option.
U) Highest Card – If this option is selected, any card you select from the drop down will represent the highest card that will be displayed on the board. It can be any sequence of cards, just no cards higher than the selected card. This is especially useful for creating boards with low or high flops for example.
V) Exact Texture – If there’s a specific sequence of board cards you’d like to create a note for, you can select those from this option. Anything that isn’t exactly this sequence will not have a note written for it.
W) Is paired – You can set an option that only creates notes on if the board is paired or not paired.
A) Settings menu – From here you can access a list of settings for Player X-Ray.
B) Enable auto-notes – This option is enabled by default. Auto notes allow DriveHUD to generate and create Player X-Ray notes in real time while you play online poker. To disable the option, simply uncheck enable auto notes. By disabling it, DriveHUD will not automatically generate notes. You can then go back at any time and from the RUN menu, run a profile and select notes.
C) Take notes on Hero – This option is disabled by default. When this is checked (enabled), Player X-Ray will generate notes on the currently selected Hero in DriveHUD. To enable this option simply check it, and DriveHUD will generate notes on your currently selected hero in real time or if you run a complete notes profile manually.
D) Enable advanced log – This option is disabled by default. Only enable this if you’ve been asked to by support. This creates a more detailed log for developers to analyze any potential issues.
E) Create notes for hands since – The option is disabled by default. If you are going to run a note profile manually, and just want to write notes from a specific date to the current date, you can enable this option and select a date. Any hands prior to this date will not have notes written for it.
F) Delete notes older than – This option will delete any notes that are older than the set date. Choose a date from the drop-down calendar, and then click delete notes. If you want to delete all notes, regardless of date, click the Delete All notes button.
