Use the RNG, bet presets and the action so far

How-to Updated 8 Oct 2026

Add a random number, one-click bet sizes and a record of the hand so far to every table.

Besides the HUD panels, PokerLens can draw three small tools on every table: a random number, a row of one-click bet sizes, and a record of the hand so far. They are called overlays, and they are all set up on one settings page. This article gets all three running; each has its own article with the details.

1

Open the Overlays settings

Click Settings on the rail on the left, then choose Overlays. The page has a panel for each overlay: RNG, Bet presets and Action so far.

2

Turn on the RNG

In the RNG panel, switch on Show the RNG on every table. Each table then shows a number from 1 to 100 near its top left corner, rolled again every 3 seconds or when you click it. It is on when you first install PokerLens.

Add your bet presets

In the Bet presets panel, make sure Show bet presets when the action is on you is on, then add the sizes you use. Write each one as big blinds (2.5BB), a share of the pot (75%) or a geometric size (2e), and press Add or Enter. Use the All tab for sizes you want on every street, and the Preflop, Flop, Turn and River tabs for sizes of their own.

When it is your turn to bet, a row of buttons appears just above the poker client's bet slider. Pressing one puts that bet in the client's bet box; you still press Bet or Raise yourself. Bet presets work at WPN and ClubWPT Gold cash tables.

No buttons are drawn until you have added at least one preset, so a fresh install shows nothing here even though the switch is on.

Choose when the action so far shows

In the Action so far panel, pick from When to show the action so far: While I'm in the hand (the default), When the action is on me, Every hand or Never.

At the table it appears as a small plate in the top left, under the RNG, that says which street the hand is on and how big the pot is. Click it to open every street played so far, with each bet as a share of the pot.

Move them where you want them

Each overlay starts in a standard spot. To drag any of them somewhere else, turn on Place panels on the Live Tables screen and drag. PokerLens remembers the spot separately for each poker site.

If it doesn't work

  • Every change on the Overlays page is saved the moment you make it, and open tables pick it up straight away. You don't need to restart anything.
  • The overlays are drawn with the HUD, so a table that shows no HUD shows no overlays either. See Move the HUD panels or restart the HUD.
  • The overlays are not drawn once your license or trial has ended.
