AJackson Advantage HUD Full Review

AJackson Advantage HUD is a third-party add-on for Holdem Manager 2 and NoteCaddy Premium.  The HUD was designed to help you take full advantage of your opponents' tendencies via a plethora of opponent stats, note definitions, color-coded badges, and range graphs.  Relevant badges start appearing while playing pre-flop, on the flop, on the turn, and on the river, enabling you to make the most optimal decision on all streets of play.
 
Installing the AJackson Advantage HUD isn't as straightforward as other poker programs you may have encountered.  The software does come with a step-by-step guide, making the process as smooth as possible; however, you will not be up and running with a click of a button.  If you run into any problems, the team is quick to help via e-mail support or a TwoPlusTwo thread.
 
The software is currently only available for No Limit Hold'em cash game play.  The development team is currently working on a separate PLO HUD that is now in Beta testing.  There are future plans to roll out a HUD for tournament players:


 
There are two options you can buy: a Premium HUD or a Dynamic HUD.  The Premium HUD will likely be suitable for most players.  AJackson Advantage will give you credit for your Premium HUD purchase if you decide to upgrade to the Dynamic HUD.  Here is a look at the major differences between the two:


 
The Dynamic HUD provides more information, but also requires your computer to have at least 8 GB of RAM, a Quad Core i5 processor, and an SSD hard drive.  If you are curious what makes the HUD Dynamic, it is the HUD's ability to decide which stats might be more relevant to you.  For example, the software will decide whether to refine a stat based off more specific circumstances if there is a relevant enough sample size.
 
Both HUDs provide plenty of badges and note definitions.  The Premium HUD comes with 106 badges and 881 definitions, while the Dynamic HUD has more than twice that.
 
One of the more interesting features of the software is its ability to provide information based on your opponents' timing tells.  For example, opponents might be reacting quickly when they have the nuts and time banking when deciding how to approach a mediocre hand.

The AJackson Advantage HUD isn't the cheapest software on the market, but if you play No Limit Hold'em cash games, it should pay itself back, and then some, with all of the added information you will instantly have.

The Premium HUD costs $180 regardless of the stakes you play, $180 for NL100, $400 for NL200, and $1,000 for any stakes above NL200.  The software also comes with a 15-day free trial.

PokerSoftware recommends AJackson Advantage for any No Limit Hold'em cash game player looking to take their game to the next level.  Once you start using the software, your opponents won't know what hit them.
