Hello

Just wanted to get the feel, how many people here use HUDs while playing online?

A ton. Everyone who really tries to learn poker (that's what we're here for right?) gets a HUD eventually.

Most players who multi-table use them - otherwise it is too hard to keep notes on your opponents.

The current research tells us roughly 1/6th of all active players in the world use tracking software, which usually contains a HUD. The HUD is useful for productivity and helps you multitable, but the real value is in the tracking software which allows you to improve as a player while reviewing your sessions for errors post-game.

precisely. We always say the HUD is optional, but you would be foolish to not use a personal tracker - its the fastest way to improve your game, but at a minimum you should use one to allow you to track your winnings or losses.

Yeah HUDs are great. I instantly knew what the UTG raiser had with almost 0 VPP & 0 PFR over a 60+ hand session... :as4: :ac4: LOL.

You should be able to determine that without a HUD... and from our extensive experience, typically the range is a little bit wider than just AA ;-)
