Need a HUD? Check Out PStatTrack

One thing most poker players will agree on is that playing with a HUD will give you an advantage due to the information it provides about their opponents based off previous hands played.
 
The problem is that most HUDs can be expensive either for their one-time cost or in some cases recurring fees.  If you fall into this group, you may want to check out PStatTrack, one of the newest poker tracking and HUD tools on the market.
 
PStatTrack, which is currently in Beta mode, offers both a free version of its software along with a very inexpensively-priced full version that has a one-time cost of €14.99.
 
The software is easy to download and works on PCs across three of the biggest online poker sites: PokerStars, Full Tilt, and 888 Poker.  The software requires that you also have Java SE 8 on your machine, a free piece of software that you can download straight from the PStatTrack website at the same time as you are downloading their software.
 
The software should automatically discover where your hand history files are and be ready to run out of the box.  This is a relief to anyone who has had to go through countless hours of setup time to understand how to get their poker tracking software to run as it should.
 
What's also great is that you have four different preset HUDs to choose from: Basic, Semi, Advanced, and Professional.  Which one you should select depends on how many stats you wish to have hovering around while playing.  The free version only includes the Basic HUD.
 
I recommend that if you're using the paid version, use the Professional HUD, as it is always good to have as much useful information about your opponents as possible.  It doesn't take up a ton of screen space and when testing this out on PokerStars fit neatly near each player for quick access to player data.
 
When it is time for review, you can take a look at your own information, with tournaments and cash games broken out separately.  You can graph your results with the help of filters for stake, date range, game, and network and also include showdown winnings and non-showdown winnings.
 
The free version also allows you to review your results, but you won't be able to use the powerful filters in the software unless you purchase a license.
 
If you are thinking of getting a HUD, check out PStatTrack.  Remember, there is a free version you can use to see what the software will do for you before committing to the full version.
