What is the case with HUDs?

I had a couple of years break, and I recently started playing at PartyPoker and I remember using PokerTracker4 in real time to analyze the players and help me adjust my strategy etc.

I've heard that most of pokerrooms banned the possibility and you can only analyze your hands after a session. Is that true?

I was thinking about renewing my subscription with PT4 but if there is no real-life support then I have doubts if this makes sense.

If that is the case then is there any alternative? Are there any pokerrooms that allow tools providing real-time statistics? Are there any tools that you can have opened during play?

And do you have any suggestions how to play efficiently without real-time HUDs?

Thanks in advance!

PartyPoker and GGPoker do not allow HUDs -- the rest do as far as I know, but there may be others that don't
PokerStars allows HUDs but does have a list of other tools it doesn't allow.

The best way to play w/o a HUD is to take notes.

When you buy PT4 you have a lifetime license, so if you had PT4 a few years ago you should still have it. Just need to login to your account on PokerTracker site to get your licence details and re-download. It’s worth having even just to import hands and analyse your game. Plus you can still use a hud on PokerStars.

In our local forum (italy) we are dealing with this anomaly the PatryPoker it site allows huds for tournaments while at the cash tables it shows you anonymous hud, like player 1 player 2 etc ... if instead you play from different skins associated with PartyPoker Bwin GD I have Huds working properly at the tables
