Poker sites have been increasingly restrictive in what third-party software they allow players to use. This is in part due to concerns about collusion and cheating, and in part due to pressure from regulators.
Nevertheless, there are still some poker sites that allow the use of Heads-Up Displays (HUDs).
HUDs are software programs that display information about opponents on screen while you play. They can be very useful for gaining an edge in online poker, as they allow you to quickly and easily see statistics such as how often an opponent is raising or folding, what type of hands they are playing, and so on.
The use of HUDs is controversial, as some people believe that they give players an unfair advantage. However, many players feel that HUDs simply level the playing field, as they provide information that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain.
So which poker sites allow HUDs? Here are a few of the most popular:
PokerStars: PokerStars is the largest online poker site in the world, and it has always been relatively permissive when it comes to third-party software. In recent years, however, PokerStars has begun to crack down on HUDs and other forms of software that it deems to be unfair or abusive.
Nevertheless, there are still many players who use HUDs on PokerStars without any problems.
Full Tilt Poker: Full Tilt used to be one of the most popular poker sites for online grinders, but it has since fallen out of favor due largely to its association with the “Black Friday” scandal. Nevertheless, Full Tilt still allows HUDs and other third-party software.
PartyPoker: PartyPoker is another site that has become increasingly restrictive in recent years, but it still allows HUDs for now. It should be noted that PartyPoker is owned by the same company that owns PokerStars, so it is possible that PartyPoker will eventually follow suit and crack down on HUD use.
888poker: 888poker is a smaller site than some of the others on this list, but it has always been relatively permissive when it comes to third-party software. 888poker does not explicitly allow Huds in its terms and conditions, but many players have used them without any problems.
The bottom line is that there are still some poker sites out there that allow HUDs. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this situation could change at any time, so you should always check the terms and conditions of a site before using any third-party software.
