It will likely require you to personally input all players' actions in order to know what it's tracking.
This will occupy too much time and mental effort which you will not be spending watching and thinking about your opponents.
This attention is the backbone of live poker, and if you ignore it, your chips will leave you for a more attentive owner.
Even if the HUD somehow tracks those plays for you, you still face the problem of statistical convergence. You need many thousands of hands on an opponent to get any real benefit beyond what your poker gut is already telling you about him. The pace of live poker is glacial, and it'll take forever for your data set to be meaningful.
Also... you'll look like a nerd / tryhard which may turn off casual players from being your fish.
EDIT: Note: nerds and tryhards are the best, but LOOKING like one is antithetical to your goals.
