Hmm.. this analogy is in danger of spinning out of control.

From my experience at FR the clutter you get from a HUD multi-tabling is more nuisance than benefit (certainly on the laptop). It takes so long to gather data on people at the lower levels it's just of little benefit.

On the other hand I installed GT+ recently when I started playing 6-max and with people in more hands and stats building up faster I actually found that a help even at the lowest stakes.

So I'd recommend GT+, especially if you're playing short-handed.

I'm on the verge of getting PokerAce. I'm just trying to de
cide if it's actually something I want yet.
I dont know how much I agree with your analogy. The more you know how to use a HUD, the worse it is for your opponents. And having a HUD but not knowing how to use it is almost worse than not having one at all.

They are incredibly helpful tools to have and really should be utilized by any serious player. Can you win without one? Yes, but if you know what you are doing with it you will win more using one.

And go with PAHUD, its miles ahead of GT+
