As I posted in another thread, thanks so much to BOL for giving us the use of a free HUD. I use it all the time, and am really grateful that I don't have to spend the money for PTR4 and a card catcher. More money for playing
!
Hopefully some of the people who are against players using HUD's will try it and see for themselves that it's definitely not cheating. You can actually lose money with a HUD, if you don't understand what the stats are telling you and what strategies to use to adapt your play based on them. Those are things you have to spend time studying and putting into practice, and even then you won't win all the time, 'cause that's poker, folks.
I also am curious as to why HM's Omaha HUD (they're the same people that provide your free NLHE HUD) isn't allowed. When HM used to be offered free on Carbon, the site gave players the Omaha as well as the NLHE version to use, which was great.
