Starting a game
After launching the application you will encounter the main Lobby window. You will quickly find out, that it's divided in three fully scalable sections:
The center section is reserved for Tables, bottom for Chat, and the right column is for Lobby information. You can change size of any section using splitters Simply click and drag.

You can start the game in two ways:

Simplest way is left-click on one of existing tables in the Tables list or select it and click "Go to Table". You can sort the list by: name, stakes, limit/no limit, average pot, flop percentage, hands dealt per hour. Above the list of tables you will also find Tabs with the Limit filters. You can very quickly modify the list to only see the tables with: No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit betting.

You can also create your own table and ask other players to join. When creating a table you get to determine size of the new table, betting, stakes, access options (public/private table), time for move and disconnection protection to start.

After entering a Table simply click on the "Sit down" button and decide how many game chips you set to the table with.

At the top of column you will find the number of the hand, below this is a history of the hands played at this table. You can access history of five last played hands. After selecting a particular hand, you can check its history using two different views. The first one is the Visual option. This view provides details about every round of game, with detailed information such as dealt cards, the actions of players and game chips sums. In this view we use the four colored deck to show all hands with as much distinction and simplicity as possible. The Text version of Hand History is more simple but takes up more area. Pick your favorite hand view and track your games!
