Live poker is the best, and for playing without programs just read some books about poker's rules and principles.

Ofcourse i can win without third part programs. I never use other programs and i dont know how to use them. + Other poker rooms said its illegal, but seem that in pokerstars its Legal, because i saw in stream Pokerstars player from PRO TEAM who play with Holdem manager 2.

I find out this link http://www.fulltilt.com/about-us/legal-information/terms/prohibited-programs Its about Full tilt permitted software.

But remmeber always reed all poker rules to avoid trouble. ;)

I think that programs can get you to serve to some point,
which is also happens to markedly increased the number of players and it becomes more difficult.
I think playing again as you did before you will achieve better results

Can you play without HUD's

Like so many of my answers on this forum, my answer would be it depends. If you are playing one or maybe even two tables then the software is not as necessary as you are paying attention to those at your table more closely. However if you are playing a ton of tables then that is where the software really becomes a helpful tool. That said it sounds like you are doing pretty well without any software.

If I play 1-2 tables I can easily play without any trackers etc. Making notes is enough

I dont like HUD`s in general, sooner or later, i would guess much later, everyone will play live poker, and when that time comes and u have played previously online with HUD`s there is no1 to the job the HUD did for u when u played online, so u have to do the work, which now its hard coz u are so used to the HUD, thats why i never have and never will use HUD`s in any point of my game, if i dont put in the work my self i dont need a HUD to do it for me, its sloppy poker, plus on live poker WHAT WILL U DO WITHOUT HUD? :D

Definitely Makes a Difference!

Well there is always Bovada where everyone is Anonymous so don't even have to worry about poker software. Now with that said if you don't care enough to play on Bovada it is highly recommended to use software. Reason being is that everyone else nowadays DO use software at least HUD, and as it was already pointed out if you are playing against one of these people then absolutely it's a disadvantage! Don't look at it as you needing to use poker software instead view it as a tool that enhances your performance like supplements for athletes.

It is very difficult nowadays. especialy on the limits different from nanolimits. It like trying to fight with naked hands against the gun.
several days ago Fedor Holz gave a large interview to Remco - he said a lot abouth the role of soft and the way how it effects the game nowdays.
podcasthttp://pokernewsdotcom.podbean.com/e/remko-report-episode-33-fedor-holz/ - you can find it here, dont know if links to other recources are ok on cardschat.

I don't use one and I still win. I think it distracts from the game play. I think there's some value in software like HM2 when you want to review moves and plays and see what works and what doesn't. But I don't use those either.

When you play 3-7 tables at the same time , shure you need statistics in order to not go crazy . I think it's very difficult to observe every player )) 56 to be exact if you play a 9-table game

In my opinion, if you say you know how to play well and you are making good profits without it, keep it up then. I also do not use it and even then I get to some itm.

I tried to use the program, but in the end I did not have time to watch. Maybe I'm wrong to use? In some poker rooms you can put notes about the players - that's really helpful.

Everything is possible! for example, I often play with mobile devices where there is no possibility to use special programs, and I can not say that my game is much worse

You can not win but PROGRAM IS programs help improve the game. But honestly additional software increases your chances!

very sorry that there are no programs for your phone, it would be very good. Just do not have the opportunity to play with the computer
