In this article we will describe how to use the “Restore Last Session” feature to automatically re-open any tables you may have had open if your computer turns off or you have an unexpected shutdown.

What “Restore Last Session” does is opens up any tables that were previously running when HFP was closed.  You can use this feature if you play the same tables a lot, say cash game tables for instance.  HFP will remember the name of the table you were at and then when you click “Restore Last Session”, it will open the tables with the same names as before.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Confirmation mode is turned ‘on’ by default and ensures that ever command that is recognized by the software will have a pop up box come up FIRST that give you the option ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to confirm what was said.  This mode should be used when you are first using the software or if you are in a noisy area and just feel more comfortable confirming each action.

You can toggle this setting on and off by clicking on the ‘Confirmation Mode’ button at the top of the Hands Free Poker menu.

Yes, all normal mouse/keyboard functions still work while Hands Free Poker is running. Hands Free Poker is simply another means to manipulate the poker tables. In fact, it is STRONGLY recommended to use the mouse/keyboard in important situations as ones voice, pitch, etc. can change significantly when one is nervous/excited, etc. The goal of Hands Free Poker is to take the majority of the burden of online poker away from the mouse/keyboard, not to replace it entirely. This tool can be used in conjunction with the mouse/keyboard although it does not need to be.
