This might sound stupid but my question is can i expect to make money at micros without hud? I know that this is a too general question and the answer depends on many factors but ill put it this way, if im not wining player would investing in a hud turn my game around or i shoud wait till i get to some level of playing and then invest in one?
Sure you can become a winning player at the micros without a tracker/HUD. You need to know the fundamentals of poker first and foremost. Properly using a tracker/HUD can accelerate that experience by helping you to identify your leaks faster.
It's also important to distinguish tracker from HUD. People tend to use HUD to mean both. You can use a tracker without it's HUD, and you can use a HUD without really doing anything with the reporting and analysis tools in the tracker.
The greatest ROI in the shortest amount of time for a beginning player will come from self-analysis with the tracker, not the HUD. You use the tracker to identify your own leaks, fix them, and then track and review your improvement. This is invaluable, no matter the stakes.
The HUD is primarily to help you play against others. That should come after you have a handle on your own game. The biggest mistake I see most beginners make with tracking software is installing it, putting 45 stats on their HUD without any clear understanding of how to interpret them (just the fact you think you need to see 45 stats
tells me you don't understand the stats), and then becoming a slave to the stats. A bad HUD or misunderstanding of the stats will make you a worse player, not a better one. This is partly why I get so exasperated with people who suggest you can install a HUD and immediately be a better or winning player. That's total BS and a sure sign of ignorance.
