PROs/CONs to a HUD SH

Crimson · #1 10-21-2005, 02:15 AM

I've only been using pokertracker, poker HUD, partymine, etc... for about a month (17,000)played hands and about half way through I started using the HUD.

I love it, but i'm afraid im basing too many of my decisions on it, and earlier today I heard someone saying that if you wanted to improve to turn off the HUD.

So whats the verdict? Should I use it, not use it, and as far as decision making goes, how do you lett the agg factor (like, of a .5,1,2,3,4 etc)affect when you call down A high or mid pair or something similar?

Thanks

What is poker HUD, sir?

I dont know why you wouldn't use it. Just dont rely on it completely for reads. Good reads+stats beats good reads alone.

Its a heads-up-display . It overlays your opponents' pokertracker stats onto the table(s).

It is a Heads Up Display. It uses your poker tracker data and displayes information (of your choice) next to each player.

Why did you start another thread about this subject? There is already a long, active thread discussing the use of HUDs. Did you just want someone to come in and hand you an answer on a silver platter for your specific situation? HUSH is active enough as it is, please don't gunk up the main page with needless threads.

Could you please provide a link? I ran a search.

I hate to bump this thread but I think the answer is: he wanted help, so he pressed post without reading the rest of the forum.

How can I believe you did a search? I just did the simplest search imaginable. I clicked search, typed "hud" into the keyword search terms box, hit submit. Ignoring this thread almost every result is from that other thread.
