I'm new to online poker so I have a quick question. At what stacks would a poker hud become absolutely necessary. I'd love to but poker tracker but my bankroll is only $20 (up from the $4 I won on a freeroll), so spending $160 didn't make sense right now. At what stacks are you at a big disadvantage w/o a poker HUD?

well if you download pokertracker they give you 30 days free so thats what i used until i had the br to really use it.. go on youtube and they can show you how to apply it to your game and show you how to formally use it.

this is a very necessary thing. If you're going to make a big money , you can not do without the HUD. I buy when you're sure you want to make a poker

i think with your bankroll you don't need it for now, concentrate on studying poker pref-lop post-flop strategy's, 20$ it means you will play freerolls and 1$ buy-ins so you play against average or bad players most of the time, so at this point if you want to spend money spend it on learning poker and improving your game, a HUB will help you against good players players with strategy . but against amateur it does not make sens , they play random hands and do strange things. so my advice to you is don't spend money on any HUB for now, concentrate on playing and improving your game and building your bankroll.
and one more thing play one table at the time try to read players when they play hands against each others and take notes about them. you will build an idea about the rooms you are in. and also try to build a poker community, people to talk poker with and analyses hands.
i hope you the best and good luck in your poker game :)

At this age, i would suggest you start as early as possible.
there are a lot of hud to choose from, try their free trial and see which one would fit you.

By the way, there is another HUD, called Hand2Note, which is absolutely free for low limits. Maybe you would like to try it out till climb the limits and collect some money to buy PockerTracker 4 or upgrade Hand2Note for higher limits if you liked it. However Hand2Note has no such analyzing software as PockerTracker 4 has, but as a HUD it does its job well.

at this stage , I don't think HUD is a necessity , most of the time you will play against bad player , they do crazy things everything is expected from them so a HUD won't really help you now

I think if you are going to play online a HUD and poker database are neccessary. Learning how to correctly use 1, will pay off. I have DriveHUD and HM2 because I overdo everything. Haha. DriveHUD is definitely the better value
