That's why you need to play lots and lots of hands (and I mean many hundreds, maybe thousands) before a HUD starts to get useful. By then you will hopefully have stats on most of the players you encounter on a new table.

You cannot rely on the figures from a HUD after so few hands so you will have to develop your own player reading ability to tide you over until you build up your database.

Obviously, you cannot read all the stats a HUD can but even without hands going to showdown you can tell if a player is in every, or nearly every, pot. No one gets cards that often so they are calling/raising with a wide range. You are going out before the money now so you have nothing to lose by playing against them with the top 15% of hands. If you don't know what hands they are (can't remember if HM2 has this facility) you can use something like PokerStove or Equilab or even download one of the many examples of the Sklansky Starting Hand Groups that are online (http://www.pokerzone.com/strategy/starting+hand+rankings for example) and play with any hand in groups 1-4.

Hope this helps.

Read som books about MTT (i find Kill everyone quite useful), learn some ICM basics and play a lot, I mean a lot, you need to get better grasp on what types of players are there on your buyin levels, how they play, etc etc.

Try to save and later evaluate every hand that seems hard to grasp for you, CC is always willing to give you opinion about them so dont hesitate.

the failure rate in mtts, even the smallest ones like sng mtts is so massive

You can't simply say i go bust here there for i must be doing something wrong

try posting hands that you are unsure of your thought process and we will try and guide you in the logic of it. As for what reads do you look for? Any you can to some extent but don't get too into the whole metagame thing in large field mtts simply bc they can be moved at any moment just pay attention and note what you can and everything should take care of it's self
