Hello, this is my first post, sorry if it's in the wrong place.
I've just downloaded a trial version of poker tracker (used a long time ago briefly) Now, what I'd like to know if it is an absolute necessity to use the HUD to even the edge others have, or could I just fix my leaks by reviewing and analyzing histories, etc..
What I'm concerned about is if it will effect my game in a negative way, especially playing live. I play live / tournaments 3-4 times a week, and online all between.
I don't want to have a dependency on software to improve my game. It may sound stupid to some of you, but I'd feel like I'm cheating myself. I want to be the best I can, and have only myself to thank, not be reliant on software like a HUD to think for me in decision making. I should be able to learn and make these critical decisions myself, and grow as a player and not rely on a program. When it comes to playing live I feel that if I used it, it would effect my game and I wouldn't trust my instincts as much, or even online without it after using it for a long time.
That being said, I'm at a disadvantage not using it. I'd like some opinions and to know if anyone else feels the same.
thanks.
