PAHUD/PT help with quickly identifying people who sit down at the table who I've played with before. I can recognize and associate live people, but online I only have some oftentimes random name by which to remember them. PT often jogs my memory as to the player who's sitting down.

PT stats are an excellent tool to describe a player, as per this forum. "Villian is laggy" is subjective and means different things to different people. "Villian is 56/14/2.8" paints a much more objective picture.

Most importantly, PT provides a statistical substantiation/counterpoint of what you're seeing. There are tons of times, especially when multitabling, where someone will do something that gets my attention and PT will help me decide how much I need to worry about it. Example: There's a bunch of betting and raising on a hand and Player A shows down 2nd pair. Was it likely he was trying to make a point against a specific opponent? Has he been overplaying hands all night and I just didn't notice? PT helps me with these questions.

I seldom make in-hand decisions where PT overrules my personal opinion of villian.

Maybe if I was single tabling in a live environment PT wouldn't help at all, but playing 6 or 7 times as many hands as live against a bunch of people who all "look" the same, PT is indispensible in helping put a personality on my opponents.
