Read my prior post about how many times an opportunity has to happen before you can consider a stat as anything more than a broad guide. My general rule of thumb is less than 1,000 opportunities is not really telling you much.

The thing about Bovada is that the anonymous players mean that you can't track stats on a player from session to session. At most, you may get a few hundred hands against a player in one day. You can't even link that player's stats to the same player on another table, so the convergence is just never going to go above what you can achieve in a single session. As such, they're pretty useless, IMO.

They definitely do tell you things about the player, but they don't tell you much. What they do tell you is stuff that you should already have a general sense of ... like... this guy calls too much PRE... this guy almost always C-bets in HU pots, etc.

With low convergence, the loose statements like, "too much" or "almost always" are basically all the stats can tell you.

If the software is free, then go ahead and try it out. It wont hurt to be familiar with using a HUD, but I caution you to hold those stats with healthy skepticism on Bovada, simply due to the anonymous players.
