Until they ban them all poker rooms together , unfortunatelly they are essential . If someone is using a toll and you aren't, this guy has a profound advantage over you , you have to play by the rules . Pokerstars allows them . I wish someday all players become annonymous at the tables , or find a secure sure way to ban the HUDs , they give to the players so much info and analytical tools , these kind of help ways the players wouldn't have if they played live , they would be forbid there to play with such tools .
Players are being driven away from poker because they cannot compete players with many great helping tools , it's unfair , that's why some poker rooms changed their policy against HUDs . I believe it's a matter of time for them to be banned once and for all .
