Any chance Global will ever upgrade their software to allow the use of HUD's???

no

nope, and thanks GP for that. If you are reg (and I am) learn to play without HUD. The games are so much better without this ****.

Not a chance, they removed heads up games so they could be more rec friendly. I'd expect them to remain anti-HUD as well

I keep really detailed notes on EVERY player and their betting/playing patterns. Most casual Facebook players play the same way every hand, every button, every time.

Yep like 90% of the grinders in Vegas

Given this post from 9 days ago, I'm going with no:

Then why don't you go clean up in Vegas?

Only a rec player bud. Hard to "clean up" on the grinders, just easy to read them is all I said. They will just fold when you have a hand, and it is easy to see what they have.

lmfao isnt this how Qui Nguyen won like 8milly$, what he said + a little run good to get that far? I don't even know how to respond to that but was good for lol's n I sure could use em so thanks for that.

As has been mentioned above, it is fair to say we have zero interest in allowing HUDs on Global Poker.

Sure things might change in the future, but I don't see it in the foreseeable future.

Is it possible we might have a way then just to track our own stats? Would love to know my winrate/ VPIP/etc. in cash games, just for my own purposes.

This ^^. Please please please. I am so tired too try to record all my sessions. It is not going to hurt anyone. Your replays already don't have real player names anyways.

This is something I would definitely say is likely.

Once we have the information in a format where our game security team are confident that they cannot be used in a HUD (or to track opponents) then I believe we will be looking at a way to assist players with their own information.

To reiterate though, this is something that is only going to be looked at when there is a high degree of confidence that HUDs will not be effective.

so basically never then since that's impossible, especially considering people are using them right now and you cant stop it. Thanks for your reply to my "cashing out my roll" thread and id appreciate if you'd also reply to my posts in the "sng removal" thread. It's nice to see the player base is finally getting a reaction and replies from the GP reps here but the way i see it going so far, the locking of the rake discussion thread and the post i quoted, anybody wanna set the over/under till this whole subforum disappears?

This is the most effective method that I can think of:

Have a system like Ignition where you can download full hand histories 24 hours after those hands took place (don't make them available in real time in the profile hand history section like they are now). In the hand histories, assign every player besides the user a randomized player number, this way you can't tie hands back to screen names. Make sure these hand histories are in a format that is supported by current poker databases. This way ppl can track their own results without being able to compile a database of hands from other players. Because hhs aren't available until 24 hours later , and player ids would be a randomized number, there wouldn't be a way to use this data to enable a hud.

GlobalPokerCSadmin, thank you for responding here.
I don't see how hand histories with obfuscated usernames beside your own can assist in HUD. I can see only one way to use it for the current session where software can show stats for people on your current table, but even then there will be no way for software to see if somebody left and other guy took his place. But 24 hours idea is good too.

Right now there is no way to review MTT hands. Like at all. Previously there was at least Share Hand button.

On the other hand we can review Gold Coins hands. I mean common, who has ever done this.

Meanwhile, any chance you can add bigger achievement for hands counter on sweep stakes? I am trying to track my bb/100, but it will be hard once I reach 100,000 hands.

I think one of the most important benefits from a HUD is hand history and being able to replay that certain scenario. I respect Global from the standpoint that they didn't allow HUD's from the start and they will continue not to, however the inability to provide HH from MTT's and SNG's is inconvenient. Hope to see this change in the near future.

no huds, ever. ty

Fortunately we have not been able to prove there is a custom HUD available yet. Rumors so far. Doing well on this site for a long time but may not be for long if HUDs become commonplace. Thanks Global for it looks like you have taken them out of the game for the most part so far.

Thanks for the response. Any idea on an approximate timeline when this might be possible? Even just to track win/loss for cash games?

Of course nobody is going to come out and prove it, they use it to their advantage. The less you know the better.

Unless they become more widespread and my win rate gets destroyed just because I follow the rules.

+1..

I personally love love that there are no HUDs allowed on the site. With that said, it would be great to have our hand histories downloadable for review off table.

I do realize there is a 3rd party tool that downloads it to a file that you can put in pokertracker 4 and Holdem Manager but honestly, don't like any sort of 3rd party tools pulling my hands from a chrome extension to get my hand history. I would rather be the ONLY one getting them.
