You have precisely the same reasons as I do playing poker. I have no interest in playing nosebleed stakes, so the odd loss from a leak I can live with. I shall assume that you"re pretty comfortable with your own game, eg how aggressive/passive/tight/loose you are?

I"m okay with my game, although I"m not sure how much "game" I actually have. I make mistakes, but try to learn from them. I made a mistake in a satellite the other night, posted it up on here, and very quickly got confirmation that I played it incorrectly.
I made a mistake with my exit hand at Wembley. Should have lost the hand, but shouldn"t have gone bust.
I don"t regret either of those examples, but will learn from them. Poker software wouldn"t have helped me in either of those situations, at least I don"t think it would.
Interestingly, chatting to an APATer about this thread, I suggested that I might ask if poker software could help me win flips, or stop me running Kings into Aces (a bit tongue in cheek), but the suggestion was that it could help with that element of your play, and they have experiences that would prove that.
Anyone else got experiences of poker software helping their overall game, and not just the more statistical elements that have been discussed ?

Yes, but I have already outlined them.
Poker Software (not purely the HUD) has helped me identify and work on leaks in my own game such as playing too loose from certain positions and pick them up there and then and correct them, wothout the software it would take longer to identify this.
Looking at opponents games has helped me identify "standard spots".. An easy example being the type of spot to steal the blinds in during a cash game and my example from earlier in the thread of when it is profitable to cbet any two cards. It has made me far more aware that these dynamics actually exist and more aware of the type of player I am up against and how to exploit them in a live game.
The software helps you play a lot of spots more correctly and this then become part of your natural game. Not sure how well I have explained this but Yes, Poker Tracker and my HUD have definitely helped me develop my overall game in a number of different ways.

i really feel like huds can be spoken about until the cows come home but at the end of the day they are here. some players use them, some dont. some try to use but use incorrectly and some base their games souly around it.
variety is the spice of life :)
