Displays in percentage, the chance of your hand will improve to a better one when the turn and/or river cards come. It is often the case that your hand will improve to three of a kind, a straight, a flush, etc. If there is a chance of improvement, that chance is displayed as a percentage. For example, if it shows that you have a 27% chance of making a straight, then that means 27% of the time, the remaining board cards to come will complete your straight.
(Dash item always available in Practice, and Online when the host checks the Enable Dashboard Items checkbox in the online category of Edit Tournament.)

Displays your hand and Card Rank. Your hand is always the best five cards, between your two hole cards and the five board cards.

Displays the table you are sitting at, your seat, and hand number (how many hands have been dealt). From tournament to tournament, your seat will change, but your cards will always be in the bottom center of the screen. In an online tournament, your opponents computer will display you in the the proper seat number from their perspective. During a tournament with more then 10 people, multiple tables are used and as players are eliminated, any player including yourself may be moved to another table to even up the number of players at each table.

When observing a tournament, either by busting our or joining as an observer, you may switch the table you are observing by clicking the Change Table button displayed under My Table

Displays all the observers currently watching the current table. Observers watching other tables are not shown. Note: When players are eliminated from the tournament, they become observers. Any user may right click on an observer to mute their chat or ban them from any future games they host.

When the mouse pointer is placed over any player at the table, the Player Info displays that player's rank in the tournament, how many total hands in the game they have been disconnected, how many total hands in the game they have been sitting-out, and how many rebuys they have left if applicable. Note: The host may boot a player from the game for being disconnected or sitting-out a set number of hands in the online tab of Edit Tournament.
(Dash item available in Online only)

When the mouse pointer is placed over any player at the table, the Player Style dash header displays that player's name and displays a graph of their tightness and aggressiveness when maximized.

All players can be categorized in two ways. How few or how many hands they play determines how tight/loose they are. How little or how much a player bets determines how passive/aggressive they are.

The graph is divided into four quadrants. The X axis ranges from Tight on the left to Loose on the right. The Y axis ranges from Passive on the top to Aggressive on the bottom. The closer the plotted point is to the edge of the graph, the more that player reflects that attribute.

Example: A good solid poker player would be tight-aggressive and the point on the graph will be in the bottom left quadrant. Whereas poor poker player typically know as fish would be loose-passive and the point on the graph will be in the upper right quadrant. Several hands of data must be collected on a player before an average is shown. Otherwise "Don't Know Yet" will be displayed.
(Dash item available in Practice and Online if the Enable Dash Items option is on)

Displays the current level, current time left in the level, and current small and big blinds. Note: The clock in practice mode simulates real tournament play and will decrease based on the average time of a round of cards. This can be adjusted by the Hands Per Hour setting on the Options page. The clock in online games will reflect actual time.

If there is a bet that you may call, the pot odds are displayed both as odds (X to 1) and a percentage. One concept in poker is that it is sometimes appropriate to stay in the hand if the total odds of improvement (as a percentage) are greater than the pot odds (as a percentage). Thus if your odds of improvement total 30% and the pot odds show as 20%, it might make sense to call. Over the long term, you are expected to win more money than you lose. See the Chance of Improvement dash item for your odds of improving the hand. See Pot Odds in the Glossary for additional information.
(Dash item always available in Practice, and Online when the host checks the Enable Dashboard Items checkbox in the online category of Edit Tournament.)

Displays your tournament rank (based on the chip count), the number of players left in the tournament, and how many tables are currently being used. Note: All chip leaders are displayed by clicking the Info button.

Displays the small and big blinds to be used in used the next level when the poker clock reaches zero.

These are advance action checkboxes to choose what to do with your hand before it is your turn to act. You may wish to use these because many times, based on your current hand, you know well in advance of your turn to act what your action will be. This way you do not need to wait until it is precisely your turn to act when waiting for other players to make a decision. This will also speed up general online game play. Although this dash item was designed for online play, it can be used in practice if you wish, but typically the computer play is so fast it is not needed. The checkboxes are reset every time you act.

This is used to help Donohoe Digital troubleshoot a potential problem. This should only be used if instructed by a Donohoe Digital support person. For you techies, by clicking the Thread Dump button in the Debug dash item, you are dumping all the threads currently running to the log file that can be seen from the Support button on the Main Menu.

The mouse wheel also alters the Amount Spinner by increments of the smallest chip denomination. By holding the CTRL Key, the mouse wheel alters the Amount Spinner by 10X increments of the smallest chip denomination.

Note: When entering a raise, the number specified is in addition to the amount needed to call (in other words, it is the amount of the raise, not the amount of the total bet). The amount text field will enforce the minimum bet or minimum raise. If you have more chips than everyone else still in the hand, it will enforce a maximum amount (basically the amount required to put any opponent still in the hand all-in).

The brown placard with the "all-in" symbol is used when the Pause When All-in option is turned on. It displays the current hand the player has and the odds that it will end up being the winner at the end of the hand.

Note: the odds displayed before the flop are an approximation based on all possible flops (the first 3 cards). We do this because for the typical heads-up all-in hand, determining the precise odds requires calculating all possible five card boards (a total of 1,712,304 combinations!). This takes 9-18 seconds to calculate (depending on your CPU) which is too much of a delay. Thus pre-flop odds are displayed with a tilde (~), indicating "approximate". Odds displayed after the flop are the precise odds that hand will end up winning.

Note: If you wish to determine the true pre-flop odds, use the Calculator Tool's Showdown calculator.
