In this video, Sky Matsuhashi from Smart Poker Study demonstrates how to effectively use a poker HUD to exploit opponents' tendencies. He walks through a systematic approach to game planning by analyzing statistics on each player at the table and creating specific strategies for pre-flop and post-flop play based on these stats.

Game planning with a HUD involves analyzing opponent statistics to create specific exploit strategies rather than guessing how to play against them.

Tips for Effective HUD Use:

  • Identify players who fold to steals frequently for profitable blind stealing
  • Target players with large VPIP/PFR gaps for isolation plays
  • Make larger 3-bets for value against players who rarely fold to 3-bets
  • Bluff 3-bet against players with high fold-to-3-bet percentages
  • Customize bluffing strategy by street (flop/turn/river) based on fold-to-continuation bet stats
  • Plan multi-street bluffs before making the first bet
  • Analyze position-dependent stats for more accurate reads
