Hi All,
I am a cash casino player that would like to start playing online. I was thinking about getting a hud and learning how to use it, then start playing but i see that some sites are beginning to ban them.
So my question is it even worth buying one or should I just forget it ?
I'll be playing online in New Jersey maybe Pennsylvania.

Never have used one myself, but there is certainly advantages to it, even if you don't have an advanced understanding of the deeper metrics. Definitely helpful for multitabling many tables as it is difficult to keep steady images of everyone off your own observations, especially in tournaments. I personally love that challenge and have always held out because I am more of a recreational player. But anyone playing for a living almost should use one.

I have been thinking about the same thing. I don't know about your regulated states. I think HUDs are often not allowed at some regulated US sites but some use it illegally there.

I play where the HUD is not used though I play zoom at Stars w/o a HUD, that's stupid of course but it isn't my main place at this time, just being lazy about it and using a tablet also. I have used a HUD for many years but things have changed with the new options.

If others don't have a HUD or there is a house HUD of some sort, then no problem (today). The illegal HUDs risks a ban bun probably not all of them, as it might become a regular thing to use an illegal HUD that can't be detected.
