So you are trying to find a tool that you can use during a game? HUDs are the most common tools that people use during a game. PartyPoker does not allow them but pokerstars does.

However, using a HUD does not make you a better player. It only gathers data from your opponents, and once you have played many enough times against the same people you can (in theory) make better informed decisions against them. A HUD is not a miracle tool and others use them too which levels the playing field.

The only way you can truly improve your level is to improve yourself. Learn, learn, and learn. Once you think you know something - learn even more, and never stop.

Try the Holdem indicator. It's allowed by pokerstars

Handy too that has a HUD and shows your pot and win odds

I'll go further, I haven't used any yet either, but I would like one that would be useful on most platforms, preferably free, no, even better, free. If someone is familiar with the tools, please list some for us, the best free, the best with cost-benefit and the top ones, I think it would be a great topic.

Plenty of advice on the forum about using poker tools, I would suggest focusing on playing & gaining a solid understanding of the game before trying to add tools.

How does that help if you don’t know what you’re doing wrong? On another note I just ran 8400ish hands through GTOWizard and it said I played 88% correctly. I am NOWHERE NEAR a winning player. Is this normal?

I think you should test in practice and see what happens worst after studying this aspect and it will be easier for the brain to be the best tracker I think me and logic your psychology and attitude towards the game

No HUD is allowed in partypoker, you can download the hand history though, then import it in a database for future study. For pokerstars, all HUD works here. just select the database you like. I suggest trying DriveHUD because its easy to learn especially if its first time you are using a HUD. Also, it has little things like personal poker quiz you can make to study how to play better.

GTO Wizard is excellent, I can also recommend DTO, ICMizer, Odin is great and also Pairrd and more but those few stand out.

I try to improve day by day, I see that my level is constantly increasing but it is true that I would like to be able to level the game in terms of statistics and predictability.
Would you recommend a HUD or where to download it?
Thank you.

I'm a medical student, an advanced part of my career, but during my break times or breaks I like to invest in a strategy game like poker.
Extra income is always good for me, but it's not my number one priority.

Lots of advice in the forum about using poker tools, I would suggest focusing on playing and getting a solid understanding of the game before trying to add tools.

I have been in the game for a few years, and although I totally agree with you, I would like to have a tool that reminds me of my opponent's type of game, then I will decide what is convenient to do, but the information supports me in my decisions.

It is perfect that you have priorities, in poker as in everything in life you can do it for hobby or fun and it would not be bad. If you think about it being profitable later, we are already talking about study.

You didn't mention what type of poker you were looking to study. No-limit holdem, cash games mainly, tournaments?

You need a HUD that has a tracker so you can track your wins/losses and review your play. Drivehud 2 has a 30 day trial.

If you're looking to improve your cash games, then I recommend Leak Buster 2. This will connect to a database, like Drivehud 2 and let you know what mistakes you're making and how to correct them.

Hand2Note works really good for a free HUD. Best I can find around anyways.

Practice, practice and practice! Learn from both spectrums- winning-losing. Patience is huge as well.

Hi,
I'm trying out hand2note right now. This is probably free in a limited version later. However, only for the PC. Personally, I have to get used to it first. Some of the opponent's cards are hidden and I don't have a lot of data at the moment. It also irritates me a bit and when looking at the statistics it happened to me that I overlooked KK and folded. But it's good for testing.
