lots of players use poker huds especially in cash games however players can easily change their style of play everytime. for example a player who have a high 30% vpip can play more tight and a player with a 15% vpip can be more loose so how can the hud knows that? you can play one round tight and another loose or 2 rounds tight aggresive and then 1 round loose aggresive i mean huds doesnt determined anything. why would a player keep playing the same way all the time if they know that their opponents are looking to all his stats?. i might as well change my poker style all the time and make your hud useless.

You can mix it up all you want. I rather have stats than no stats. If your trying to sell yourself on not getting a HUD, well, you are selling yourself short cuz the ones that do have an edge on you.

If you play a 100 hands with someone and they raise 75 of them then they are clearly an aggro fish, so if you then play with them a month later you won't remember them but you'll have info. But that can be corrected by just making a note on them. Their use comes in when you have well over a 1000 hands on them and they reveal ranges that villains raise with from certain positions. Also they give information that you wouldn't necessarily pick up, e.g squeeze %s.

5 stars will read again.


I like having a HUD only because if someone passed by my computer it looks statistical instead of just me clicking buttons. All for show

Personally i think that huds shouldnt be legal because they ruin the game just like poker bots, however i know my poker style and will change it every time to make sure players with a hud dont take advantage even though they think they have an edge.

I dont understand your comment. i will just modify my poker style just to prevent players who use huds to have an edge on me thats all and i think all the players should do that as well.

VPIP isnt the only number you know.

being able to understand a player means taking a lot of different numbers into consideration.

While I agree that varying your play is good thing you have to realise, what you are suggesting isnt really logical.

Players who dont use hud

for all the players who dont use huds CHANGE your style of play constantly otherwise you are going to be a crushed by these computer assisted players. players who use hud knows everything about your game, your vpip, your 3 bet range, how much you steal blinds, etc. just change everything about your game and see how useful will be their huds....

You really think most, or even a significant minority of those who have HUD displays, use them that well? Can't speak to high limit players, but, down where I hang out, they can certainly help, but, meh.

¨thats the truth of your image¨ i cannot disagree more with that statement you can change everything about your game if you want. its not like you are forced to play like you were playing before. its either that or becoming a loser player and you know its true when you dont use a hud and others do. also these huds dont distinguish players who are on tilt, drunk or tired so you have to pay attention about some patterns of the game that huds wont tell you.

Oh wow dude! thanks sooooooo much! Phew! I feel like I'm saving money already!

They should come out with 'HUD-Caps'... where players with HUDs are only allowed to have a certain # of hands on any one player.

What styles would you recommend I alternate between? I will warn you that I won't do hamster-style any more but anything else is fair game.
