Show your HUD

Gregatron · #1 01-15-2006, 06:30 PM

I have made similar posts on the micro forum before, where we share ideas and compare our layouts. I thought I might try it on this forum as well. Doing this before has provided me with a lot of ideas, and allowed me to share what I think are some good ideas with other players. It has been benficial all the way around.

Here is that you do. Post a screen shot of your HUD and briefly explain it. Seperately (or alternately), discuss what stats you find most helpful, and comment on the HUD layouts of others.

Okay, here is my HUD layout for PS full:

Unlike most others, I color code my statisitics, leaving them all one color. I don't need the color green to tell me that a vpip of 56.2 is very loose. So instead I allow each color to represent one stat.
Here is what each color means:
Vpip
Preflop raise
Cold call preflop %
Aggression (top flop, middle turn, bottom river)
WtSD
Number of hands in white

A few thoughts for discussion purposes:

I find including CC preflop to be pretty valuable.

I know a lot of people have won$SD, but I wonder if this capture short term luck more than anything of analytical value.

I tried fold to bet by street (similar to how I have aggression by street), but did not find it that useful.

One thing I have been considering is replacing aggression factor with aggression frequency. Anyone have any feedback on this?

i really like your layout, i think i might adapt that for 6max at party (what i play mostly).i agree with you on won $ at showdown, its takes A LOT of hands before this stat converges to anything meaningful. my won$showdown goes sub 50 for multiples thousands of hands. My VPIP and PFR and agg don't jump close to that much.

EDIT TO ADD: attempt to steal is one stat i really like and it doesn't seem you use it. it is more relevant at 6max of course

I use the black Party layout found here and so far i'm lovin it. Made a few minor adjustments and I'm good to go.

Same stats as yours but with Total Agg to make it a group of 4 numbers under Hands, VPIP, PFR. There's a Went to showdown & Won at showdown. The number next to the chip counts is profit if playing a cash game.

My stats are at the bottom right.

The last showdown is on the screen and the mucked hands are displayed on the table rather than over the players names.

It's in the Layouts section of Pokerace's website.

I _do_ use color coding. The location tells me what stat is what; color isn't necessary for that. I like to be able to glance at a stat and quickly get an impression of the player. I use red, yellow, green, blue as a spectrum from tight-aggressive to loose-passive. (I've color-coded the aggression numbers since I took that shot.)

The categories are labeled around the middle, but I don't need the key much anymore. It's still more useful that putting one of those "outs" charts, though. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Since taking this shot, I've also added my own stats for the session at the bottom right. Again, not that useful, but better than wasting space.

If you're interested in the graphics mod(s) or the layout, let me know. I did 6max, too.

[/ QUOTE ]HA! I didn't follow your link before I posted. I didn't realize you were talking about my layout. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Glad you like it.

[/ QUOTE ]Gregatron, you should check-out that thread WalkAmong linked to. (Isn't proficiency in Search a prereq for getting your name in green?) There's some discussion of a few of your points there.

My "fold on <street>" numbers are really, really useful in 6max. Really really.

The 6-max setup doesn't seem to be on your site. Can you email it to me or put it up somewhere for download?

Thanks for the layout. I like it a lot.

How do you get the last hand to be displayed?
