What kind do you use and why?Prices?Benefits of the program you use?I'm looking for one that is compatible with pokerstars.Open to your guys suggestions.Thanks!
Poker Tracker is definitely worthwhile. Has so much data that it causes brain overload when you`re new to it, but persevere.
For a HUD, I prefer Gametime+. It`s very similar to Poker Ace but free, where PA costs $25.

im no expert on these things but I think they are just add ons for PT so you can have overlays with the table stats.
gametime+ doesnt work in sng/tourneys whereas PAHud does.
I`ve never thought it worthwhile to fire up a HUD during a SNG or MTT. I prefer to rely solely on my own judgement in those rather than on any statistics. It`s always seemed to me that, since any halfway decent opponent changes gears as the blinds change, detailed information about the way he played at a different level may be more misleading than helpful.
There are times when looking at the HUD and seeing that it's the first time player x has raised preflop in 45 hands (and he's UTG and in no imminent blind pressure) can be the difference between reraising all-in with QQ or calling or folding.
I`m very happy to believe it helps in tournies if you say so, m8. All the same, wouldn`t you know this from your player notes if you were properly awake ?
Looking at the QQ example there. It's unlikely you would record a non-event. After how many hands do you note that someone hasn't raised preflop? 10, 20, 30?
use of these tools in tournies isn't very common, but I see huge value.
Then why get the software at all if your notes are that good??
Ok, I believe you.
