More and more poker rooms in recent years are opting in for the following: banning tracking software, not providing hand histories, allowing aliases changes and removing players' names from hand histories and replacing them with "Villain#".
I am very grateful that I came across a tracking software some years ago. It really opened my eyes to advanced strategies and vantage points that I didn't have before. It's easier for me to look for certain patters and behaviours as the hand plays out. Of course there's so much more to improve. Unfortunately, with this phasing out I don't know for how much longer I will be able to use a HUD.
I am in search of a poker room at the moment where I can take advantage of welcome bonus, to improve my bankroll. I have spent a few days comparing and viewing different deals and found out how many do not support HUDs. I am left in dismay and at crossroads right now. On the one hand I hear about these sites that are so soft. Undeniably, they are soft because HUDs are not there so the edge is reduced and a lot more bad decisions being committed more frequently. That is a great plus for online poker!
On the other hand. Multitabling is such a fantastic element and advantage of online poker. This allows us to play much smaller stakes thus lessening our risk of ruin. I just can't imagine multitabling without a HUD! It's just, at least for me, impossible to memorize all the information and details about players, say when you play 6+ tables. At Full Ring of 9 that is 54 players. Moreover we don't see physical faces and are presented with generic numerical names like "5435xxX980". I am wondering is there any point multitabling any more tables than 4.
Another fact is book-keeping. Knowing your performance, session review, rake paid, etc. Are they gonna withhold hand histories?
Anyway, I was wondering what's the general opinion right now on the situation. And would like to hear from both sides of the camp. How do HUD users deal with this. Any tips on multitabling, etc.
What are companies like HEM, PT going to do about it, if there's anything they can do at all?
Are users adapting to multitabling without HUDs now, or they move to a site that supports tracking software.
Thanks.
