Message: [QUOTE="Oxinthewater, post: 5582114, member: 427784"] For HUD's giving statistics from only games you've played against a player, I do not consider them cheating - they are simply giving the player a convenient way to record and display this. In addition to this, the small advantage given by a HUD is available to all players, and thus it's not really an unfair advantage (which is when I generally think something crosses into being cheating). Whether or not they are good for the game is a different question. While it may be the case that everybody can get a HUD, does it not hurt the casual player who just wants to play some poker from his phone, who will deposit and put money into the ecosystem? There are pros and cons both ways. Another factor is that a HUD can be a bit like a crutch, in the sense that it can you can rely on it to do things which you should be able do yourself if necessary. For this reason I do not play with one at this point, as I want to build my skills. [/QUOTE]
