Thats a very good question.
I dont think its possible to buy something for free.
purchasing implies the exchange of goods or service for money. If money does not change hands has a purchase taken place?

Poker is an information game and using all tools at your disposal would make sense.
It is not though necessary or needed a priori by any means, in my opinion. Depends also on what is your goal, if you would like to play poker more professionally or if its just a hobby. You can see many pros not using them but rather looking up players individually and then noting them.

but the program only draws its conclusions on what has already happened, but it won’t say what the person will do with AA call or raise 3bet
a person can do different things with one hand

I agree. The play is so erratic at the micro levels (and in my view low & med levels) that a HUD isn't likely to help.

I miss the old random number generator software. I had PS Cracked, along with it. It worked for the most part. The thing nowadays, is that there are so many sites, to the point testing is almost impossible. An odds calculator for online poker does not make any sense. You have to feel it. An odds calculator will not tell you when you're running hot or badly.

Sorry, but where have you seen an online poker pro, who doesn't use HUD?
If the Twitch poker streams come to your mind then I have to tell you something you don't know. You actually have to add to stream HUD separately from a poker table as it's another program and they usually don't stream HUD for the reasons. I bet some people wouldn't like that everyone can see their stats on stream and would complain to that streamer about sharing crucial data, that can be used against them. :icon_studI personally use many kinds of software, starting with HUD and other little helpers and ending with software for studying and understanding better how poker works. ICM and Equity calculators, Postflop solver, GTO Solver.
Online poker is a very tough world nowadays and you won't go far without using any tool to help you to get an advantage against villains and without studying daily with additional software.
On the other hand, I agree with that statement - if you're just playing freerolls and micros (the smallest stakes), buying any software and learning poker deeply with them is way over the top. You only need that, when you start taking poker seriously and really get ambitious to climb up the limits.

Tried to use. Can't say I'm impressed. Creates the illusion that you know everything about the player. But the problem is that there is a tendency to change the style of play of the opponent. Hence obviously false information. In General I refused

If you want to perform session reviews and analyse your game, a database like Pokertracker or Holdem Manager is essential. There is indeed a free (free like in free beer and like in free speech) program and it's called free poker Database (FPDB). It also is very useful to play around with equity calculators, which are free too. Try this one https://www.cardschat.com/poker-odds-calculator.php

GOOD or NO GOOD
I used to use programs and it honestly gave me a good idea of what hands aggressive people play and what hands tight people are playing os that is really what i s used it for i dont now even though it would be no means be unhelpful just got used to playing without it. its a tool and knowing how to use it is important.
