Ah. I misunderstood.

I suppose it will help you, but in circumspect ways.

E.g. using a HUD in online play may help you link the numbers you see in your HUD to what your poker gut is telling you. That's positive feedback which will help you form mental links between specific observations and what they mean about your strategy against that player.

The benefit isn't in anything directly related to the HUD, but in the fact that you're using more / different brainpower to think about the game. The more ways you can think about something, the more you can see creative solutions to the problems it presents.


E.g. Using a HUD in online play will present you with a lot of numerical values associated with the game. Presumably, you're using math and probability theory to make sense of those numbers and how they guide your decisions.

Having spent more time studying this math, you are probably faster at the mundane calculations that you do over and over again when analyzing those numbers. This can give you an edge over other live players who don't tend to think as mathematically about the game.


Again, the benefit isn't directly related to the HUD, but it is a product of you expanding the ways you think about the game.
