How do I adjust graphics performance?
With the PokerNordica software you can adjust the performance/graphic quality level and turn off animations.

Try shutting down other programs that are running in the background. Programs such as instant messenger, downloads/streaming audio or video can increase lag in dial up and low-end broadband connections. Spyware and Adware - PokerNordica recommends removing all adware and spyware from your computer. Those programs can cause problems when using the internet and can slow down even the fastest computers enough to affect your connection latency. A good place to start is the spyware/adware removal program that Microsoft provides here.

What does tagging mean?
Tagging means you can assign another player a particular tag of your choice. The tag can be select from several possibilities to reflect the player being tagged.
Example Player Tags: Shark, Buddy, King, Easy
Once you have assigned a tag to a player you will be able to see when they are online. Currently the tagging option does not provide you with the specific table of where your tagged player is seated.
How do I tag a player?
There are two methods for tagging players:
- Go to the Player Tag box located in the lobby. Click on the 'add' button and you will then be prompted to enter the nickname of the player you wish to tag.
- Seated at a table simply click on the player's name tag and select your choice of player tag.
This shows the percentage of players who are staying in the game until the flop or further.
What does Hands/Hr mean?
This tells you how many hands that table is playing every hour.
What does the Average Pot mean?
This is the average size of the pot being gambled, per hand, at each respective table.
What is the Waiting List?
If the table you want to play at is full, you can enter a waiting list by clicking on the “waiting list” button. Your name will be added to the bottom of the list and as seats become available, your name will move up the list. Once your name is at the top of the list, you will be notified when a seat becomes available and can join the table.
What do the different tournament tabs mean?
Scheduled - these are tournaments scheduled by PokerNordica to start at a specific time. PokerNordica Freerolls can be found under the scheduled tab.
Sit & Go - These are tournaments that will only start once the required number of players has been reached. Registered Sit & Go tournaments are usually single table tournaments.
