Thank you guys for helping to build support systems from the micro limits ,,, excellent. Personal opinion, it seemed to me that for those limits, it was not necessary to use any type of software or Hud ... reading an excellent advice from the playmate ,, Jsnake716 ,, changes my perspective of acting within those limits ,, thanks for the message, now it's for my sake, to put this Drive into practice ... and update my way of looking at those limits ,, as who designed ,, welcome to the power of technology ,,, I love this type of aid that many friends of CC give us ,,, I will put it into practice and condemn it in the very near future ,,, luck and patience ,,, one day do not stop the other ,,

Thanks for the kind words. I always try to share the things that people told me when I first began to "study" poker. If you do not have a close group of friends who love poker, then you need to take advantage of the websites and online communities like CardsChat, and some others. Keep asking questions and keep giving your opinions on hands, spots, etc.. This is how "we" all improve, by helping each other.:D

Hi!
If you're starting really you don't need a HUD, you'd better have a range table per position. The states of the HUDs will only get in your way in the beginning. But if you are already at a more advanced level and playing several screens at the same time then the HUD can help.
In that case you can start with Hand2Note for the lower limits which is free.

Excellent you are well on your way! I read your posts and DriveHUD is a good HUD and database. AND it is affordable, I have been a satisfied customer since they first came out with it. Right now you can DL DriveHUD2 for free, I suggest trying it out. Also , if you do not have Equi-lab try that , it is free. And you are correct, keep asking questions and share hand history's online, but do not get offended, some people can be rude but most will try to be helpful . I love to see people getting excited over Poker. EDIT : Sorry I double posted because I thought I "lost the first post, so I began another 1
Thank you very much for your advice and suggestions, this is really important to me! I will definitely try the programs you offered and I hope they will help me progress in poker! I want to thank you again for this and wish you good luck! I would like more kind and responsive people like you, not only in this forum but in general in the world, and people who are negative they also have the right to this, especially personally this motivates me to make progress! Thank you very much and good luck, maybe someday we will meet at the same table)))))

If you have questions about drivehud or things you need help with. just PM CC member John.A, his the support for drivehud in this site. :D
To begin with, I will try to amaze myself) but I think it is very difficult))) I will definitely turn to this person for help, but I am confused only by one moment and this is a language barrier, I know English very poorly and communicate through a translator! And the translator sometimes translates messages not quite correctly and because of this I have difficulties! But it's okay, this forum not only helps with poker, but also I'm slowly starting to learn English! Thank you for your advice, this is very important for me!

I am really still a poker newcomer, but sometimes I play several tables at the same time, because it happens to be very boring at one table when cards are handed out very bad and they have to be constantly dropped! And I know about the range tables, but I can't find any good ones if it's not hard for you to help me find them? Thank you very much for being a helpful person and good luck at the tables!

Personally I would just recommend a pokertracker so that you can analyze your database and actually improve at the game while youre grinding away at those micro limits :)

Thanks for the advice, just would like to ask you this free program? I just don't really want to pay money for an unknown program, not knowing if it will help me or not! You yourself used this program, it is convenient, and really using it you can study well?

Any simple Hud and equalizer will suffice.

I also thought that you can do without programs, but I noticed that almost all streamers play with software! Thank you for your opinion!

When you play at 5-10 tables, the HUD will be necessary for you. And if the room gives you the opportunity to use a tool to improve the game, then it is better to use it and make a profit.

since sites like Bet On Line won't publish their WTSD stats for any given time period, it doesn't matter if you use a hud or not. They scan the recent winners and rig it for them to lose with better starting hands, so everyone works back down to break even, regardless of what cards you actually play, imo. When they post stats that tell us how 88 fared vs 77 for the month of June, then a hud will matter.

Hello, of course, each of us wants to make a profit and win, but I believe that if you constantly use the software to make the game easier, then over time you will lose your skills and count only on the program! I do not mind the software, but I need it in order to watch how I played this or that distribution and use it to draw some conclusions! It's just that I'm still completely new and I don't want to fully count on the program without understanding the basics of poker! Thank you very much for your opinion and advice, I wish you good luck at the tables!

Hello, I am still new to this business and do not understand many terms, and also I do not know English and communicate here through an online translator, who sometimes incorrectly translates some phrases! I didn't quite understand what you wrote and what you meant!

Hello.
I would like to hear from you what software you used playing on microlimits and what was really useful in your opinion and gave you some information.
Thank you


I personally don't use any software to help me play, Because I only play one game at a time and only Micro to Low stake games, I don't deposit on any site and have made small bankrolls on a few different sites, my latest is with pokerstars and with Cardschat free-rolls I now have over $500 in my bankroll.
If you intend to Multi-table playing several games at once then I suppose using a HUD of some kind would be a necessary requirement, but for me, my main attention is for Live games in Pubs, Clubs and casinos, On-line I play for practice and for fun. I try not to be too serious on-line and have been called all manner of names, but that's the way I play.
If they cannot handle that, then it is their problem, I cannot use a HUD in a Casino, nor would I want to, because even in a Casino I want to feel relaxed, in order to play my best.
On-line my Poker has to be fun, and win or lose, if I am not enjoying my games I switch off my Laptop and watch T.V.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
(I do)

You can use Pokertracker but i don't think it will serve you a lot in micros. Maybe in higher stakes it will serve you in the long run since you have regular players and pros. In micros you will find players that defy logics, maths and odds so be prepare! :)

I also do not want to use the programs constantly, I need a good program so that I can analyze my game and not someone else's! I also play poker for pleasure, and I do not want to rely only on the program! My goal is to study poker, not to study the program! Thank you very much for your opinion and good luck at the tables!

Here I completely agree with you! On microlimites I don't understand how to play at all, there is no logic at all! But if you do not beat the microlimites, then I believe that it makes no sense to switch to more expensive games! And bankroll does not allow you to switch to games more expensive, so I sit only on microlimits! But he started playing freerrols CardsChat and was pleasantly surprised, people play them well and try to adhere to their strategies! Thank you very much for giving your time to this post and good luck to you at the tables!

The sites have a HUD on you. So if you have better starting hands like QQ vs A2, they will fix it so the person with A2 wins 50 percent of the time, vs you. That is my opinion. They don't publish their statistics on hands that Went to Show Down, so that speaks volumes.

Micro Limits, probably you wont benefit directly from running anything but on the other hand you will learn the software so when you advance you will be a head of the curve.

in my opinion, it can be useful for a while, but i prefer the notes, and focus for my rules.

was really good, when i had a half year long terrible run in a room and even after few weeks i was questioning myself, that i do something wrong or changed something without recognizing it.

Especially the allin equity was useful, as for half year it was steadily going up like a hill, but the P/L was just up/down spikes, more or less standing in the same place.

It showed that's 'just' variance, not me.

Otherwise, didn't really give much attention for opponents stats, but there are plenty good stats for my own game, useful for that.

However on micro i think it is not a must, very overvalued, possible to make + without that.

Any poker tracker. The most popular: Hand2Note, Holdem Manager 2 or 3, Poker Tracker 3 or 4. We also need a push-fold program. The most famous: ICMizer, Holdem Resources Calculator. It would also be nice to have a FlopZilla.

What utter rubbish, that would mean that the sites are rigged.

If that is your opinion, do you still play on these rigged sites?

I have been playing Poker, Live and On-line for over 20 years, You cannot use any software when you are playing Live, so why use it On-line? For me it just does not make sense to pay for Software that you only become dependent on, when playing On-line and you are totally lost when playing Live games.
It is like learning to drive a car from a driving game like GTA and then thinking you can drive like that in real life.
Most micro stake players do not use software to improve their game, simply because it does not make economical sense, same as anyone using Bots to win in micro stakes, because the returns on their investment just does not justify it.
Poker is a thinking game, use the brain you were born with, and forget all these get rich quick schemes, that promise to make you money, because they don't!
I play for the pleasure the game gives me, the social interaction, and the interesting conversation when playing in the real World environment, I do not make a living from playing On-line, I play for FUN!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

I believe that absolutely rondom players play at micro stakes, so there is no strategy there. You need to play there only according to the circumstances.
