I would say HUD's are useful at all level of poker. Will certainly give you a bigger edge. However sometimes it's good to practice playing without a HUD as this will make you a huge fish at Live Play. Pot size, chip stacks,pot odds which software helps you with when you have it available

Not necessary, but it will help. At that level, most players are pretty predicable. If you want to use it because you are not going to pay attention, then yes, definitely necessary.

Absolutely IMO. The HUD just gives U extra info to exploit your opponent with

No, its not essential to beat the micros. I am evidence of this.

I have never used huds. As long as you are paying attention and not playing a silly number of tables you will notice who the good/bad players are and be able to make good notes.

I mean, a HUD is all well and good, but if you get to the river and need to make a big decision good notes combined with strong hand reading skills are way more useful, imo.

The same number as you could play with a hud.

I think I know what you are getting at, but you need to refine the question.

I feel a lot of newbie players would benefit more from watching training videos, than just going on autopilot and believing that they should make default decisions based on hud stats. Yes, they can be beneficial for proven winners, but work on improving your game is way more important then pretty numbers next to the villains.

its must have in our days even on micro limits. Just to get used to play with hud. Cause in higher limits it will be almost impossible to male profit and play without statistic programs. As for me I am against all those programs?

Firstly, it is not worth it to buy (costs to much) Secondly, to many people I know who used it, this softs just gave a lot of completely useless information which did not give u to focus on game and how ur opponent play, what is more important than how many hands he/she played. I've never used any, trying to focus on players and how they play in dif situation! try to reconvince me)

Would be like trying to reconvince a brick wall.

Honestly, I've seen lots of arguments where this would help you or not.

The answer, yes it helps but it's not the key to win when you're a fish! end of history. All of those discussions just to get to this point.

Now a question that I always have when I think about it.

ISN'T THAT CHEATING???? FOR CHRIST SAKE, YOU'RE GETTING INFORMATION ON YOUR OPPONENT W/O HAVING EVER PLAYED AGAINST THEM..

Am I the only one who thinks like that?

ps. Like the hand analysis possibility though. that's what will really help me/you to improve your game.

From the little I know about HUDs you only get information from players that you have played, unless someone is buying hand histories and loads them into their tracking software, correct me if I am wrong anyone re the HH.

I am one who thinks that it should be a level playing field with no software involved, but until the sites ban the use of software there is nothing anyone can do to stop the use of them.

Nope your spot on. What hes saying is the exact opposite of what really happpens. Huds cant help much unless youve played thousands of hands against someone.

So in this case, it's not a HUGE cheat, because you could have been taking notes.. It just help you to do that..

It's not a cheat at all since you aren't doing anything against the rules of the game or site. It does provide an advantage over having to review tons of data and manually making notes and of course it's a huge advantage over a rec player who doesn't even do that.
