Correct, but by raising only 2x bb (i do this from the button only) it allows me to play small pot poker with a much wider range of hands with ultimate position on every player. Position is one of the most important ways of making money when playing poker.

I am not sure whether to use the HUD at 25NL, as I think it may play more like 10NL than 50NL, with an ABC game being the game to play.
I would say it is not needed really until 25nl or 50nl, but it is good for practice and you are correct about value betting etc, I talk about this in the video
