hey, genitruc. i noticed on the first page of this blog you said you don't use huds at all. i'm interested in this idea as i feel my poker progression/general understanding of the game, as minimal as it has been thus far and still is, has been very heavily intertwined with statistics and frequencies etc (which i directly relate to HUDs) through which i attempt to determine my opponents' strategies as best i can, and then construct my own strategy based on that information. because of this, i've always considered the kind of information which is made automatically available by something like a HUD to be so pertinent to
A - learning about how poker works
B - actually having the info at the table to know how to profit from the knowledge encapsulated in A
that anyone playing small/mid-stakes would need to be using it in order to succeed. you are quite clearly an exception to this rule, and a comment in a grinderschool video i recently watched which was made by renton also seemed to downplay the importance of huds etc (i'm sure there are millions more but i only read/hear a portion of their thoughts/strategies etc), which makes me think i may potentially have been focussing on the wrong things, or at least over-emphasising the importance of these statistics in my development as a poker player.
so my questions are:
did you ever use a hud? if yes, why don't you use one now? what do you see as being the pros/cons of using such software?
feel free to completely ignore this post as it is (apparently) your birthday and i'm drunk posting in your thread. but i'd genuinely appreciate hearing your thoughts on the issue.
oh and happy birthday
edit: and i haven't read all 8 pages of this monster so if this topic has been discussed then yeah, i suck. and i apologise if that's the case.
