Hand history - this menu displays a detailed hand history of all the action that has occurred at the table.

In a rebuy tournament, you can add chips during the rebuy period when your stack is at or below the starting chip count.

Mute dealer chat - this is a checkbox option that will turn off messages from the dealer in the chat box.
Display hand helper - this is a checkbox option that will identify the poker hand you are currently holding. For example: "You have a flush, Ace high".
Auto muck - uncontested winning hands will be mucked automatially when this option is checked. Otherwise you will be prompted to show or muck your cards.
Deal cards face down - check this box to have your hole cards dealt face down. Click on your cards to flip them back up. This option is handy when playing in the same room with other players. You can manually flip your cards face up and down any time even when this option is not checked. Doing so does not expose them to other players.

Fold to any bet - When you check this box, your hand will be folded when it becomes your turn to act and there is a live bet that has not been called.
Away next hand - Check this box to go into "Sitting Out" mode when the next hand starts.
Away next blind - Checking this box will put you in "Sitting Out" mode whenever it is your turn to post a small or big blind. This option is only available in ring games.
Next Move - These Check/Call/Fold boxes will be displayed on the right side of the window when there is action pending at the table but it is not yet your turn to act. You can use these if you know what move you are going to make in advance of your turn.
Folded Cards - If you've already folded your cards, you can still see what you had by moving the mouse cursor over your avatar. They will be displayed in a semi-transparent state. And of course, you can also see them in the hand history window after clicking the Options button.
