they will need to figure out a way to prevent cheating for sure but i do think going to no huds is a huge step in right direction for the longevity of the game here in NJ
I think we can all agree that written hand histories should not be restricted. Of course, the reason they put that restriction in was to deal with people selling huge hand history databases. Is there really any way to prevent that?
The real truth is, even though I don't use a HUD on Party because of the software issues, I do not think that banning HUDs helps longevity at all. These sites are the definition of "reg infested." Even the bad players are regs. You don't think the people using HUDs don't already have a huge database on most opponents?
So who does it hurt? The new players who want to use HUDs as a learning tool. Or the mid-level players trying to improve. How does hurting those two groups of players help longevity?
