Why do I even reply to you.
In other words, what you're trying to say with your (yet again) lame ass sarcasm is that we should stop trying to profile the others at the table, since there's a cool piece of software that can do all that for us, adequately filtering through all the data so we can click them buttons. And I'm the ape, right?
Why bother looking at the same 40-50 "static numbers" you have on all villains and bother to come up with a game plan, when XYZ software can spare you the trouble and only display you the key bits, right? Like I said, I'm not a "purist" striving for hud-less online poker, since I do use a hud (my ape HUD over 60 stats on it, btw, a lot of which have no meaning for certain villains) but I'd much rather be closer to a purist than a bot (or cybot) that doesn't even makes the effort of interpreting the data.
If I start using the badges, my HUD will get way smaller and easier to read, I will then be able to incorporate more info and my game plan will be much clearer in a LOT of spots. I do not advocate against these sort of villain specific huds because I don't know how to take advantage of it. But because I feel it takes away a big part of what a real poker player should do and should be. And because I know it takes us closer to a point where, frankly, none of us want to get - "no money to be made in poker, now everyone really plays GTO with super advanced villain-tailored huds".
Like I said (and, oddly enough, like you said also), if someone has a truly static superhud with 100 numbers on it and 20 pop-ups with 100 numbers each and if he can derive a game plan out of those on the spot, good for him! But don't let software get so advanced that he can instantly know he can xr me on A/Q/T high flops after I 3bet him in BTN vs CO, for example, just by seeing he has a little A/Q/T icon up in the hud he has on me. Or do you really think this sort of "features" are not on the way? I really don't think you're that naive.
