I decided recently to start using HUD again, which I hadn't been using for a few months. I'd realized that I had all this data up on the screen that I had very little idea how to interpret. So I stopped using it to concentrate more on table dynamics, game flow, and fundamental play - which really helped.

For now I'll just be using it to avoid really evident mistakes (like getting into a 4betting war w/QQ vs a 9/7, 0 3bet%). And rather than overwhelm myself with a bunch of stats I won't look at or won't know what to do with, I'll start with vpip/pfr/3bet/hands and just build on that over time. And as oppose to before where I was using HUD as a major crutch, this time it'll be a supplement only, one which in its absence I could still play profitably.
