Also just wondering how can a hud help much while playing mtts? Im asking because i have never used one and i have always thought they can give u in-accurate reads if you are playing mtts with big player pools, players moving and table breaking etc. Also a hud cant Calibrate ( not sure if this is right word here) for the different stages of mtts. Such as early on when everyone is deep stacked or near the bubble etc.
I have watched tons of videos and training sessions with people using a HUD, so i know how they work etc. But every single video i have seen with a hud has only been in cash games.

Thanks for this observation. A very good question. I"ll strive to get some decent feedback on the points made. I think you can get figures from different stages of a tournament - could be wrong though.
VBlue:
I have asked a question on this. Two bits of training I have been doing/have planned:
I will be sitting an online skype training session with Jamie Burland in January on "Dissecting the Data" - how to translate stats into success and am half-way through a recording of "Tools of the Trade" - Sharkscope, Pokerstove, and Note Taking.
The Pokerstove stuff has been very helpful so far and I know feel a bit more confident in how to get the best out of this piece of software and will start to work this into my analysis.

I always tend to have the HUD switched on, even if playing a single MTT table.... I don"t tend to over-rely on it, but at a glance, seeing that someone only raises preflop 3% of the time rather than 30% does help to define their range as I make my decision. Of course the HUD stat is somewhat meaningless if volume is small - my HUD set up has the hand counter as the first number so I can choose whether to pay attention to the detail or not. For MTT, my setup only shows Hands, VPIP, PFR, Agg..... Everything else is of little value for the reasons you state.

I know that some still would not dream of trying to multi-table at all, whilst others play 20+ for volume and variance purposes. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages? When do you know you are playing well enough to be able to add more effectively and when is it having a detrimental effect on your play and results?

Multi-tabling is the motorway to the "long run", actually multi-tabling is likely the only way to play enough hands so as to accurately assess ones winningness sadly if you are a losing player it"s also the motorway to Busto.
The really good mass multi-tablers measure how many tables to play based on an hourly rate inclusive of rakeback. Many opt for a breakeven ROI model with rakeback as their only yet considerable profit.

i would say this is even more true in online cash games brendan. So people are break even but getting rakeback can make them deecent winners.
