I don't own a HUD, but I play 0.50/$1 6max on stars and presume at least 50% of the people who play here have HUDs.

I usually throw in a lot of moves against these people after about 30 minutes of play that I usually wouldn't because they have all my stats, like cold 4-betting with air, and other things that my stats wouldn't show.

I'm finding it hard to word this properly, but are there any other ways to counter act every one having a hud, except for me getting one?

i think its fair to assume that 99% of regs on stars are using huds, not 50%.

Get one unless you are playing only one table or you know how almost all your opponents play.

the only drawback I can think of with a HUD is that some people rely on their stats too much, and theres about a bazillion plusses having one so get it asap.

HUDs generally rely on preflop stats too much. You can create a wild image pre and get paid off postflop and vice versa. But good players will adjust and take notes anyway.

OP, as others have suggested, there's no reason not to have (and be competent at using) a HUD.

there's also no reason to spaz out against players who you presume are using HUDs.

i actually think there are things you can do against people who you think have HUDs, and that people with HUDs will do predictable things ie. play your stats whether or not it is applicable at the moment.

Yeah, but it's all boring with a HUD, doesn't feel like poker as much

GET HUD ASAP. 100$ investment is a buy in at this limit and well worth it.

Your trying to exploit people who have every imaginable stat on you available to them, while you have none of the same information on them? Good luck.
