Re: But what about the rules?

In order to allow players to study their hands, CakePoker stores a Hand History text file for every player that can be reviewed later. Tools have emerged over the years to allow players to better understand their own play by loading these text files for analysis. For some players, these tools are useful to try and learn how to better their play. CakePoker welcomes players to study their own hand histories to better their own play, so long as they do not use tools during game play.

I think they have made their feelings clear. What they will actually do about HUD users is less clear.
My guess is they have failed to make a clear rule because there was nothing to rule against. Realtime HUD just changed that.

I think you are right, their feelings are clear. To be honest, if I had been aware of their policy I wouldn't have bothered to support the site. Thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention.
I doubt they are going to close accounts over this. They would have a hard time justifying it since their TOS makes no mention of tracking software - whereas they do explicity say bots are forbidden. But that's just my opinion. I am not a lawyer and I wouldn't care to sue them in the Antilles anyway.
I think it is more likely they will take technical measures to frustrate users. I'm not going to make any attempt to circumvent anything they do.
Anyone using Realtime on the site should definitely read both the links I provided above.
