Beginner's Guide to a HUD (Heads Up Display)

#1 19th April 2009, 1:43 AM

I know when I started playing online poker 1.5 years ago using a HUD and seeing some of the videos where a player used a HUD looked like trying to analyze all the controls in the cockpit of the space shuttle.

My apologies for the external links but hey that's the breaks. I wrote an article about HUD use on Poker Hand Replays and in a separate area posted a video for a different website.

Thanks for the links, one sentence I'm a bit confused about though...

Quote:

Many players once they've played online poker make a few friends that show that sitting at two tables and grinding micro-stakes tables is a great way to bore yourself to death.

The first and last bits of the sentence make sense to me, but I'm not sure about the bit in the middle - sorry to be thick!

Ya wtf is with that lol guess I didn't proof that sentence and neither did my editor.

What the point was:

- You'll be playing 2 tables thinking "wow cool multi-tabling!"
- It'll be fun, but meh, nothing big
- Your CC friends will have videos of themselves playing 9+ tables and open your eyes to a bigger/funner world.

atm im playing 2 tables ,it feels comfortable and i can concentrate on better reads etc,i dont consider it multitabling ,sure there is more than one table ,but its purely to combat boredom .
when i get more confident i may add another table ,but i find it difficult to understand how anyone can play 9+ tables and concentrate fully,i feel that people who play lots of tables must have great confidence in their abilities as i cant see how you can learn anything whilst doing it .i wonder how many pro internet players multitable 9+ games at once vs 3-4 tables .?

Try 24 tabling. A few of us here at CC do it regularly. You just keep adding 1 table at a time and you get used to it, but you really need to HUD to make those shortcut reads.

Okay the Blip.tv is the best way to watch the video ... hit the fullscreen button and it looks fantastic.

Alternative you can just watch it here via youtube (crap quality from their site as usual):

and
