What is Heads-Up Display (HUD) in poker?

A Heads-Up Display (HUD) is a software tool that collects and presents statistical data on your opponents directly on the poker table in real-time. Key metrics often include VPIP (Voluntarily Put Money In Pot), PFR (Preflop Raise), Aggression Factor (AF), and 3-Bet percentage, providing crucial insights into player tendencies. While external HUDs are prohibited on some platforms like ClubGG, analyzing post-session hand histories with built-in tools can offer similar strategic benefits. Mastering HUD interpretation can give a significant edge by identifying opponent leaks and adjusting your strategy accordingly.
