Do you play using the statistics or do you play by feel?

Statistics allow you to identify weak players. I play based on logic....

In every game, the situation changes when the levels rise and the opponents change, so PokerTracker 4 lets you know what the opponent is like.
Using your instincts is also sometimes wise.

I don't use poker software.
I roll my dice.
1 = Fold, 2 = Check, 3 = Call, 4 = Small Raise, 5 = Big Raise, 6 = All in

You have to play a part by feel, especially after flop, everything else is statistics

At first I used it a lot. Nowadays I have more information about statistics, so I can play without it.

I always try to balance statistics and feeling. However, I observe that most of the time feelings speak more strongly when deciding on moves.

I try to play based on the probability of winning and playing by feel is like play just by luck, you can get the coincidences on your side or it could be a disaster, no one knows hahaha

HUD is decent when u multy tabling a lot of tables,10-12. You cant pay atention to all players, and HUD becomes very handy as a solution to recognize between lose players,stations, and tight players. But sometimes HUD can trick you with your judgment and based on stats you sometimes make bad call. So i recommend playing without it if u are 3,4 tabling. You can easily keep up with tables. For my example i play 6 tables every session, and i dont use HUD anymore.

Playing by feeling is very dangerous and in the short term the player who uses this trick usually results in elimination from the tournament. I play based on logic and mathematics.

both
The statistics are good and very accurate but there are times when instinct says more than statistics.

The game based on feeling can be more enjoyable, however we tend to suffer more from bad hits, the game based on statistics is less enjoyable during the process, but sometimes it gives us better results. I play more by intuition, I'm recreational.

I do not use any statistics software of any kind. I only play tournament poker by gut, position and counting my outs.
It's recreational only.

I play without statistics, somehow I tried to play failed, but it's enough for me to see which country the opponent is from.

I am Steve McQueen all the way.......you just got to feel in your gut what to do.
That's a great question. Yes, I keep statistics. But only when there are 6 players or more at the table. In general, all my decisions in poker tournaments are based on the statistics for each individual player separately. ;)

I can never remember states, it all about feelings for me. Over time you require stats whether you know it or not and it effects your play. Trying to remember stats for each hand, not me.
