best poker tracking software, is it worth paying for?

for low stakes i’d skip the extras, more hands beats more stats every time. do you ever use something simple like a spreadsheet just for leaks?

I wouldn't pay up if you’re mostly sticking to low-stakes or just one table, since manual session notes already spotlight your patterns. In live dealer setups, adaptability beats auto stats every time.

bankroll’s king, not software

honestly, unless your bonuses or rakeback get tied to volume stats, discipline with old-school notes goes further than most tracker hype for low stakes. the best promo i ever caught was just reading terms slowly and not getting distracted by charts.

When I first tried stat trackers, I wasted more time obsessing over my stats than actually playing hands, so I ended up tightening up way too much. Now I jot down a couple of leaks I notice each week and focus there, which keeps my bankroll and sanity intact.

you really only need paid tracking if you’re multi-tabling or seriously hunting leaks in your own play, but at low stakes i’d rather just tighten up my preflop ranges and spend that cash on a buy-in instead. have you found any free huds that actually work for your site?
