Do you use a hud when playing online tournaments? Is it worth to have a hud, when playing tournaments?
Poker is a game of information, a HUD gives you stats, which are pieces of information. So it is "worth" using a HUD, as long as you are able to figure out the info that you are getting. Just like hands in poker , you can overvalue what you get from a HUD. I use a HUD, in tournaments my HUD only gives me a few basic stats, just a small part of all that I use to make my decision. Does everyone agree with me.?? Of course not, some good players do not use HUDs, it's all a matter of choice,
What Info are you seeking from the HUD?
I have tried to use several trial huds but I didn't invest enough time in learning about what all the abbreviations stood for. Anyone with good knowledge that can explain what I'm looking at i would appreciate it
Learn to play with your head and not to trust the machine. On live tables you will have only your head and no one else.
Well it's not about it at all. You have a HUD just to collect the statistical information about your opponents, it stands for facilitating, not for replacing your thinking abilities. Of course notes and your own perception and which decisions you meet are more important things for success. But i'm glad to have a HUD too in addition to that, cause if i met somebody i played with some amounts of hands after few months, i have no time or mood of searching him through all my hand history and checking how did he played there. That work does HUD for me in a second and that's a great help. Also it shows me amount of blinds in every stack at the table (i know it simple math, but you have no time for that by playing, better use that time for other thoughts) and M number shown too. Also HUD makes much easier to tag the questionable hands for analyzing it later in replayer, where you also could check your percentages of winning the hand, ICM numbers and so on.
You can analyze using the program. The program will not help you on a live table.

Ok thanks guys. My concern with hud is I'll get used to it and never be able to jump to live games
