Long time micro/low stakes winning player. If your plan is to be a win/be a winner, go higher then micro/low stakes online invest in a HUD and yes it's worth it. I would personally recommend PT4.
Personally I don't think you need a HUD to beat micro stakes(at least 2nl or 5nl) even in 2023. But I would still buy a HUD simply for keeping track of win/loses, $$$$ and the leak tracker software that comes with it. It's basically your own personal coach once you've played enough hands for it too analysis. It will help or at least show you where your leaks are or where your game is weak/needs work. Even if the site I played at didn't allow HUDs which pokerstars does but if it didn't I'd still own or purchase PT4. I'd just never use it at the table with the poker client open.
Cheers!!!

In the games right now, I suggest having a HUD to at least track your result so you can study off table when you want to. For HUD recommendation, I suggest checking top poker software and tools sticky thread.

I've been using Hand2Note for a long time, and for freerolls and micros it's free and works great.

Using a HUD is not essential online but can help you. I use it to track my stats and to review my play. The issue with a HUD is the mis use that can occur if not used properly. Using the HUD live will give you instant stats on a player. The problem is depending on the stat, you many need to get 10's of thousands of hands to really know what a certain stat is for a player. Say you have a player who c-bet 100%. Is that true? You may have 100 hands on him, but he only went to the flop 5 times. You peg him as over aggressive post flop but 5 hands is nothing. He checks the next 2 not he is below average. Or what you never noticed is he only had a VIP of 8%. Why does he cbet so much? he maybe only playing big hands.

Hello brother
I'm pretty much in line with @Luvepoker.
I think it may be necessary, but not essential.
Look, for some time now I've been following Elias Gutierrez's Youtube videos, better known as ZerosPoker.
He has already become a professional player and uses one of the best software that now I don't remember the name of it.
But look, I have reviewed many hands of his live, in which he says that he was not wrong because the HUD said that he should be played that way, and in those hands he always lost.
In other words, the story is as follows, you lose and because the HUD says that you have to play like this, you leave happy???
There is even a hand in which he is in the PCA of Bahamas in which he faces a player who from UTG opens with 2.5 BB with AA and his compatriot Ramon Colillas with AK goes all in , and Elias from CO raises with QQ to which the UTG goes all-in and Elias calls. He wins the hand of AA
If you look at the hand, Elias really had a very good stack to continue even to the final table. But when he checks the HUD it says that before that hand his move was all-in.
It is somewhat strange because in general the Pros recommend from UTG to open in general with 1010 and up in which logically there are hands like AA KK etc.
Why not think that before UTG's allin he had a hand superior to his QQ ???? In addition, in such a high instance of the Tournament, the one who opens from UTG is not going to play to open with a stupid hand and even less to do allin.
Well, ultimately, the one who opened from UTG after he won the Tournament.
I mean, the HUD statistics are very good, but from there play as the HUD says? I think you lose your essence, many times the instinct or the perception of the players at the table and their study are worth a lot.
In truth, what gives me the most results when I play is the value of the bets.
Greetings brother, and if the HUD works for you, go ahead and invest, don't miss the opportunity

I have been playing for a long time without HUD, once I bought a Holdem Manager 2 license, but with the new HM3 I lost that license, and I understand that this HUD is heavier than Poker Tracker 4.
Many experienced players say that the HUD is a primary tool in online poker today.
I want to take poker seriously to be a winning player and I want to do everything in my power to achieve it and I would like to know if the free "Hand2Note" HUD is Useful and Good?

You don't have to be a poker pro to invest in a HUD... in fact it can even be free with Hand2Note (for microstakes).
It is considered a fundamental tool for many. For others not so much.
I really think they are worth studying and understanding because they can give us an idea by 'numbers' about the villain's predispositions.
Yes, they can deceive you, however, once learned I believe it has more to add than the other way around.
Many, many times during the game it's better to disregard range play and rely on the HUD.... usually against weaker players.
Also you can use it (at least most of them) to study your games, leaks, etc...
see how a certain 'population' of players is playing from a certain position...
study average bet sizes...
This kind of thing....
