Eh, I disagree. It's not that you can't be profitable without one, but back when I used to grind WPN, after buying a HUD I was much more confident in my ability to make better decisions against regs, who I had larger samples on. This was easily enough to cover the cost (in equity.)
It's not quite as useful all of the time, since you can't realistically filter the results for stack size without huge samples on your opponents, but either way it gives you a good basic idea. I'll agree that HUDs are far more important for cash games than they are for MTTs, but they are very helpful in MTTs as well.
