    Everything the monkey said.

    Fwiw, I find I play much better without a HUD. That's because I find myself looking for a stat to justify making the decision I want to though, rather than using a combination of stats that would more likely lead me to the correct decision. The sample size is the biggest problem and it really is important to understand what the stats mean e.g. if villain is raising 15% of flops over a large sample, what can we infer?

    There's still no substitute for notes imo too. Most villains at the micro stakes have huge bet sizing and timing tells and rarely vary their lines e.g. when they bet a wet flop they have something, otherwise they check fold. Just looking purely at a cbet stat won't help you in those spots.
