A Heads-Up Display, or HUD for short, is an online poker tool that allows you to display information directly on a poker table. This information ranges from statistics out of a tracking and analysis software database such as PokerTracker 3 or Holdem Manager to probability information provided by a calculator tool such as Holdem Indicator. All of the information provided in a Heads-Up Display gives you better insight into your opponents and allows you to make better decisions, resulting in more profit.

Two of the original HUDs designed to work with PokerTracker 2 are GameTime+ and . GameTime+ is open source and completely free, but lacks some of the more advanced features that PokerACE comes with. The latest version of PokerACE is built right in to PokerTracker 3 and requires no extra license. PT3's main competition, Holdem Manager, also comes with a built in HUD that was developed from the RealTime HUD product. It provides extremely detailed statistics that give you a ton of information to base your decisions on.

Most online poker calculators come with some form of a Heads-Up Display, or are in fact entirely a HUD. Some examples of such products are Texas Calculatem, Hold'em Hawk, and Poker Wingman. All of these products provide different statistical information such as pot odds, odds of different draws, and potential opponents' hands. All of this is provided right on or right next to the poker table so that it is easily accessible to aid in your decision making.

A good Heads-Up Display will provide you with detailed information to assist you in your decision making. If you are playing multiple tables your focus will be divided preventing you from paying close attention to every player's actions. By using information that the different HUDs can provide you will be able to make better reads and plays. Overall this will result in better profitability and fewer mistakes.
