HUD options - filtering both stack size and # players

[Swerve]

Hi, so I play SNGs so have used the HUD options to filter for both stack sizes and # of players. When I hover over an HUD stat on-table, it specifically says "*filtered for [stack size range]". So that's fine. But it says nothing at all about being filtered for # players, so I'm just wondering if that is to be expected even if both filters are active, and it just doesn't bother to outright mention the #player filter, or if maybe one filter will have priority over the other or something.

And actually, since I'm here, I have another general question if that's okay:

2. Is there a way to test/arrange a complex/multi-group HUD ahead of time on an actual table layout while not actually playing? For instance, bring up a ghost table or something, so you can remove overlap/more or less arrange and save positions such that it's not just chaos when you load the HUD during play for the first time?

Both stack size and number of players HUD filters are applied automatically except on PokerStars where stack size filters need to be manually selected for each player. This was a change that had to be made so PokerTracker 4 complied with the new rules issued by PokerStars.

If your poker site provides observed hands when you are not seated at the table then it might be possible but most sites do not do this to prevent datamining although PokerStars does have a policy of allowing tracking software to import 30 observed hands per session. This is done via the PokerTracker 4 'Memory Grabber' which is a special feature that integrates with the PokerStars application to grab hands that reside in memory and you could use this to test your HUD on tables there.

What do i need to do to see those buttons at the table to manually filter the hud by stacksize?

Go to Hud > Edit Hud Options in the PT4 menu then look at the General Settings > General section and configure the Tournament Stacks options. Click OK to apply.
You should then see the option at the table to apply the filter - it appears in the top right corner of the Hud group. Click that to select which range you want to see.
