Configuring 888 Poker To Work With Holdem Manager 3
888 Poker writes Hand Histories to your hard drive. Holdem Manager 3 must Auto Import hands to display a HUD (Heads-Up Display). Once we successfully Auto Import hands into Holdem Manager 3 we can setup Preferred Seating.

Notes:
- January 2019 Update - The HH path in the new software to C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\888poker\\HandHistory. The new poker client auto centers your seat at the table. You need to configure this to match in HM2 - Options - Site Setup - Pacific - Preferred Seating. (10 Jan 2019)
- Snap Poker - We are not allowed to display a HUD on Snap Cash tables. We are allowed to display one on the Tournament Snap tables but we are waiting for them to provide us with the necessary API/Files we need before we can add support. (26 Sep 2014)
- Nevada - The 888/Pacific player pool has merged with Nevada (and Delaware) as of May 1st 2018. Nevada does not allow the tracking of hands or use of a HUD because of the way they interpret their gambling laws so the New Jersey software had to disable that so the player pools could merge. If they no longer write hands our software will no longer work on their software. (03 May 2018)
Now that we know where Hand Histories are being saved, it’s time to Configure HM3 to recognize these Hand History File locations.
Preferred Seating (888 Poker)
Preferred Seating allows your HUD to be displayed next to the correct player. If you have HUD alignment issues, setting up Preferred Seating will fix it.
888 Poker sits you in the bottom center of the table when playing and there is no way to change this. When setting up Holdem Manager 3 Preferred Seating for 888 Poker, use the "Auto Center" option.
