Can you be a winner online without Hud?

[AllinIgor]

I tried a HUD, and for me it did not have effectiveness, on the contrary, made me play against my extinct, but that's me, other people I know, they love to use HUD and don't live without it. Good luck at the tables!

I have won without Hud at different venues. Sometimes, I do not even want it as it becomes annoying to me. Hope this helps.

Hud definitely gives an advantage unless you have a photographic memory.

IMho, the players that have never seen a hud would be shocked to see the information instantly available on every opponent on every hand played.

Everyone decides for himself. I play without programs, and when I win I feel great pride in winning. because I reached it myself, without the help of a third-party resource.

 

[polar1ze]

They ruined the game and should not be allowed.

 

[successlaw]

I think you can be a winner without any HUD on those poker sites where this one is not allowed. I don't like playing without HUD when they allow it because they get edge on me

 

[besplatnee]

Yes, of course, you can become a winner without a HUD !!!
This is online poker. All the HUD gives you is additional functionality, in this case information. If you don't want to, you can ignore this. In fact, I even recommend that beginners use a more simplistic HUD so they can focus on the basics of the game first. Information is always useful, even if you only use part of it.

yes ,we can, my tip for this answer... it s a great observation and attention how the other players take yours decisions (3- 6 tables)

Put players on an equal footing for which some rooms are an excellent solution. GGPoker one love

"equal footing"? Surely you mean putting the time and effort into improving yourself? Right?

I would like to come up against some of these HUD players in a Live Tournament. Sure you can be a winning Player on-line without a HUD, many good professionals never use a HUD.
I am not saying they are useless, they only give you certain information, which is only available about how your opponents act in certain situations, How often they limp, or raise, or 3 X bet etc. All this information is already there for you to see if you are watching the action and concentrating on the game, They certainly don't tell you which hands to play or which you should fold, that decision is still down to you.
Too many times I see players at the Table messing with Tablet's or Mobile phones or watching football on the monitors around the room in a Casino, When really they should be watching the game they are playing, Gathering information about other players even when you are not in the hand, because eventually you are going to be up against these players and you might be able to tell me the latest Football score, but can you tell me how many times a player limps with big pairs or 3 X bets with rubbish?

When the fun Stops, STOP!

I mean that personally I play without a Hud and I don't want the person who bought the hand history from dishonest sites to play against me

 

[spectralwave]

Yes, for sure, again and again it will happen, but if you have the discipline to always play the same tournaments with volume, this will more rarely happen because it will be grinding more.

 

[VovanBaron]

I think yes, cause if you know how to play profitable you can be + player without any stats,many poker sites remove huds and people play easier than before.

 

[RUNRRUNRTO]

You can definitely win without using a HUDI’ve done this myself plenty of times. Then again, I have won using one too. I personally prefer not using a poker tracker and like observing the players at my tables. Also keeps you sharp for playing LIVE games

Huds only work online in cash games. 6-10 players. How you use them is up to you

I cannot see how a HUD can help in tourney , as players move around every 10 mins. Either you move or the villan moves. The data is of no use. I play different on every game.

 

[etouu79]

I think you can go a long way without the help of hud, but like others I also think it helps a lot to improve the game. I in particular do not use any tool, I only make notes on the platform, but I know of others who when starting to use programs have notably improved Clemente his game and achieved much higher profits, for that reason I analyze daily being able to add tools, I am one of those who believes that the essence changes a little and that all information that this tool gives you should be in our head according to the reading we do of our rival, but hey, things change, time passes and we have to go adapting too.

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.

Depends what you play exactly. In my case, micro, low tourneys knowing most of the regulars, it is not really necessary, actually, I do not even use it. Even in the past, my biggest winnings happened without HUD.

On the other side, when I used it - I think the longest period in a row was for 5-6 months - helped me out sometimes against the better players, in key situations, even I did not see difference between the average profit. Also, sometimes made me call easily allins, what probably I could fold without HUD, as it showed worse stats about given opponent - but occassionally everybody can have the nuts.

So in my case, it did not make difference, I made the same small average profit with or without HUD, probably because I did not really change how I play based on HUD stats. It was good for having more information next to notes, made me more confident some cases, but nothing special.

It really depends on what you play, I know CG and SNG players, whose use it all the time, even some of them just a weekend player, but they play higher limits, even none of them declare themselves 'professional'.

I have never used any helping tools!

Obviously, it can help you in tourneys, give some information, too, but you have to collect hands for at least 3-6 months and you still won't have enough about more than half of the opponents, but it can be useful, not so often like in CG or SNG, however by the time it shows relevant stats about tourney players, too. Depending on HUD stats in tourneys, like on CG/SNG probably won't happen, at least in my case.

In tourneys, the biggest problem, when you sat with opponents in FT bubble, or any short handed situation for a long while, maybe not even once, maybe he was the chipleader and stole with everything, and later on you face with the same opponent, the stat shows something very weak, and you have enough hands about the player, you do not remember what situation the previous hands collected, so it is like a trap, and you can run in it easily. Also the opposit, some weak player was waiting for get the FT, and he folded everything, later on you will think based on HUD, he plays tight, meantime definitely not... At least, similar things happened with me, when I had a HUD on tourneys and I gave more attention to the stats, than I would had to...

 

[martinlgs]

I have never played with HUD and any game assistance program, because when I play live who will help me

I've really had my achievements online without a HUD

 

[Coelacanth]

HUDs feel like training wheels. One more distraction info feed. I’d rather trust my play and am glad to hear a few others feel the same.

 

[takinitSLEAZEE]

Yes, it's possible to be a winner without it. I know you can because of all the walks I receive. Other players in the black will understand what I mean by that. If one learns the game, can read players, fold a major hand at crucial moments in a live game then not having HUD online will not matter. Plus I don't want to become reliant on a feature that isn't always relevant.

 

[det0nate]

To HUD
or
Not To HUD
That is the question...
I say using a HUD in the long haul - to analyze our own play is a YES To HUD
I say using a HUD in short haul - to analyze your opponents play is a NO to HUD
HUD might make you make calls you would not make without a HUD and can be dangerous!
