Based on what? HUD's give you opportunities to look at spots significantly more in depth then you would be able to do without a HUD. If you have a player 3-Betting 10% and one 3-Betting 4% you should develop different strategies for playing against both's 3-Betting range. If you're going to be lazy with a tool, lets be realistic you weren't going to put the work in anyway, it wasn't the HUD that made you lazy
Ok, so tell me how can you apply that precise math while playing Live Poker (and that's the point I'm trying to make.)
Unless you only play Online Poker and that's it, if so, of course it would become in handy.
I imagine that a HUD will certainly improve your results. Although, I've never used one. I'm very interested in the idea. I just feel like players that are using solvers and HUDs have a massive advantage.
i would ban huds if i could...they make players lazy, and gives weak players a false sense of how good they are... let them play live and get destroyed.
i play a little bit on stars at micro levels 5/10 mostly.......teaching my son...9 years old...i teach him to play poker...pot odds...position...patience...when a bluff might work...when to check raise...most importantly when to fold. I do not teach him how to cheat with a hud. Together we eke out a small profit.
I play for 'real' money ( $1/$2 nlhe) on SwC...a bitcoin site....i researched huds for SwC...but couldn't find one that works there I started at SwC with nothing..nada...zero...from freerolls to a 4 figure roll...without a hud.
so yes...it is possible to win online without a hud.
The word "Cheating" Implies that players who use is are doing something wrong. However HUDs are allowed on numerous most sites (Party poker isn't doing that well fwiw and GG has a "Built In Hud" That even tho I find it awful serves the same purpose.
I think you should be significantly more careful with the words you choose, your attempt to imply that everyone who uses a hud "Cheats" might lead some to the wrong conclusions regarding your understanding of HUDs or even poker in general.
But just a bit of a FYI, HUD developers do a large amount of communication with the poker sites to see what they will and wont allow in a HUD. So I really don't understand how you're trying to label something as "Cheating" when they have been developed with the guidance of Poker sites... Maybe some people are just resistant to change and new tools tho I guess
imo, using huds is cheating...in other peoples' opinion it isn't...as huds are available to everyone. It is just my subjective opinion...and as such is worth nothing.
Carbon poker used to have built in huds also many years ago...i don't like them...but i can understand why some people do.
imo, using huds is cheating...
I play poker for many years, but never used Hud, do you think it's a big disadvantage for those who do not use?
I in particular think the game loses its beauty, but I also understand that professionals need this tool to get more profit.

Yeah obviously you can't use a HUD while playing live poker.
However my response to you was more about your comment that using a HUD will make you "Lazy" I'm interested where you came up with this assumption that someone who is using a tool that enables you to examine hands on a deeper level is lazy lol.
