| No HUD No Problem HUDs should be outlawed. HUDs are not part of the game of poker. You learn how people play by playing with them. I feel that in MTTS it is extremely important to have. Its late in a tourney I get switched tables. I raise other guy shubs. I have no idea how this guy plays and he knows how I play rite away. Poker sites created these to generate more revenue. If Huds are allowed they should be free and advertised on their website. Just becuase i don't have a few bucks to spare to buy one the guy that has extra money to buy one gets in advantage over me. not fair. richer get rich poorer get poorer. If every single person had a HUD do you think there would be a significant diffrence playing 6+tables |

| The HUD will let you know how loose or aggressive your opponents are, plus much more information. By profiling the other players at the table, your HUD can reveal the secret tendencies of your opponents. Poker is a game of information. By gathering more information with the HUD, you gain an advantage. By not doing it, your opponents gain an advantage over you. (http://www.learn2holdem.com/poker-st...-hud-guide.htm |

| re: No HUD No Problem poker Wow, posts like this make me want to ride the tilt-a-whirl. According to your logic, live games should not allow opponents to look at each other because one might spot a tell and that would be unfair to the rest of the players. I make my point. |

And BTW. HUD does not gather information. Poker sites does not develop HUD and they do not sell it for money. HUD is a piece of software from a poker tracker developed by other companies than poker sites and just shows statistics of data gathered in a databse used by that poker tracker. Also that tracker imports the hands stored in your history folder , store them into the database and after that HUD shows statistics. I do not understand why it should be outlawed . Is like saying "taking notes on an opponent should be outlowed". Last edited by swingro : 4th July 2011 at 9:15 AM. |

| In the situation you described in the op... The only way he knows how you play right away is if he has played you before. Therefore you should know how he plays right away also. Him having a HUD gives him no information you couldn't have gotten yourself with notes and math. Maybe you should use the search function here on CC to find out what a HUD is and does before you say that poker sites should ban them. Maybe your thinking of data-mining? Well that's already against the TOS at most poker sites, and about the only way your hypothetical situation would make any sense if you two had never played against one another in the past. |

| I agree with Aldito if you can't afford $50 for Pt3\HEM you prob shouldn't be playing for money.Doesn't mean you have to buy it if your hell bend on your thoughts about them.Free books at the libary >study>learn>play>get better>win money>buy PT3\HEM.It has been said alot on here the biggest thing about tracking software is not to get a big edge on the people you play but the ability to study your on game. |

Regarding Aldito's claim I feel that this is a very narrow-minded viewpoint. We have people coming here, for example, who are trying to build a bankroll from freerolls and are looking for advice. Some people here are recreational players, some use a netbook that cannot run tracking software as well as poker software. Surely we want to help people and try to educate them, not abuse them, especially if they have a big misunderstanding like this? You're not an idiot just because you have misunderstood exaggerated claims from tracking software adverts, IMO. |

The thing is surely we have all encountered people in RL that go around spouting this sort of ill-informed nonsense, and I always make a point of letting them know that they have completely misunderstood. How much chance do you think there is of them changing their point of view if we call them an idiot? |

| It depends on the reader to change or not, to read or not, to get information or not and to read the idiot part or not. While I do understand what you are trying to say, it also works the other way around. If someone called me an idiot here (I've been hinted in this forum to be some other stuff) it's up to me to choose what I'll give importance too. Everyone could call the most hedious offenses, as long as they are participating, I don't really care. One post can have bits of information that are useful, others that are nothing. It's up to the reader to do his best to get the information that he needs and disregard the rest. There are also users that are very harsh but offer great knowledge and others that are quite polite and have nothing to offer... which one would you prefer? |

| About 1-2 years ago i went to bat for a guy like OP.I knew he\she misunderstood what a HUD was.I felt every one was riding him\her,i tried to inform this person as to what a tracking software was.Truth is people spout shit off at the mouth miss informed an when they are proven wrong disappear.WV lack of patience is because he deals with this sort of shit over and ove,r with out the OP given one iota of research. |

| re: No HUD No Problem poker While I disagree with OP's sentiment that HUD's shouldn't be a part of online poker, I also dislike the non-constructive posts in this thread. I agree that CC is a great board to be a part of, and the thing that sets it apart from other more active poker boards is the *usual* willingness of members to constructively help newbies and uninformed individuals. Hey, I'm all for giving flak and witty cynicism to obvious trolls and board regs, but OP is simply expressing his opinion and seems to want to engage in meaningful discussion on the matter. In any case, some good points about HUDs have been made in the posts above, and in actuality a HUD gives you no more information than you could get yourself with extremely copious note taking. This is why it is not an unfair advantage -- the information a HUD gives you is nothing you couldn't obtain yourself through extremely careful observation. This changes when purchased hand histories come into play -- but those are rightfully outlawed from most sites whereas basic HUDs are not. Regarding MTT and HUD, it is actually possible to open up several tables which you are not sitting at in the MTT to get reads on opponents in the event you reach the final table and to accumulate some stats on them before actually sitting with them. However, you can and probably should open up tables when the MTT gets down to about 4-5 tables anyways and manually take notes on your opponent even without a HUD -- actually, doing so without a HUD may even be better because HUD stats in such small sample sizes and towards the end of an MTT can give you some really weird stats that might lead you astray. |

please educate yourself on what a HUD actually does before making wild statements like this. |

| I guess what i was trying to say is that I played for about 3 months and never heard of HUDS or even rake back. I used Pokeredge for the free trial and had i big diifrence in my play. I know understand that PEdge is a data mining software and i thought HEM and PT where the same thing. Yes there is a huge diffrence between these. I think huds and RB everybody should know when they first sign up. I still think people should use their brain instead of tracking software since you cant use tracking devices in live poker. I play micros so HUD might not be that important. What makes everybody think I don't know what a hud is? HUDs are the same thing as Pokeredge accept you have collect the data threw play. |

| Found the thread with the guy i tried to take up for.The thing about this subject is it comes up a lot(to much) an people over look the thought that some people starting out have 0 idea what a HUD is.Read this OP. tracker defense!! |

| To be honest, I believe banning HUDs altogether will be good for the game in general. For one, there won't be anymore masstabling nits killing all the action. Come on, you can't pay diligent attention to every hand when playing 6+ tables, can you? |

1) Multi-tabling nits don't kill the action, they actually generate $ for the poker economy. 2) Even without a HUD what makes you think people still can't or won't multitable? 3) Some people can multi-table quite effectively at up to 20 tables or more (not me I hasten to add!). If you come across a multi-tabler who can't then you have an edge over him - exploit it. |
