Do you play using the statistics or do you play by feel?

Aside from a little arithmetic I play by the seat of my pants. Of course, unfortunately, that means I get spanked quite a bit. LOL!!

I try to use patience as a tool, but sometimes intuition speaks louder. Skills, techniques, and knowledge are also important

I
play as I feel. I leave the statistics and the position aside because when I have a good hand and a good position then nothing comes into play.

I try to follow the line of my games through calculations, statistics and whatever else I can assimilate and use to my advantage...

When I played live and cashgame, I used to rely a lot on the 'feeling'...
...but as we try to evolve in poker, I can say that I try to make the best play in terms of EV regardless of the immediate result.

But I confess that I often failed to get better prizes or ITM because I didn't follow my feelings and try to do what is 'right' for the situation at hand.

I do not use any statistical programs. I play without any aids and the only thing I often use are my notes.

Can't use that live in the series though can you? HUDs I mean. Live is all feel and your basic math ability.

You have to follow the rules of the game , play by the book , with statistics or pot odds or whatever else . If not you cannot succeed (online poker )

A little of each one, I always start based on statistics, but at one time or another intuition strikes...

Mostly Statistics. But when the pot is small, I sometimes go by the feel.

I think that it is unlikely that among the freerollers there will be those who use HUD.:)

One table - with or without.
More than one - with statistics usually.

you need to start playing with statistics, there will be more good results, but I often leave notes on each player I play with, and it often works if I meet them.

Feeling and intuition in poker are of course very important, but I'm used to just making logical decisions based on the skills and experience I have.

Some players rely heavily on statistics and probabilities, using tools like poker tracking software to make data-driven decisions. In my case I am relying on their intuition and the psychology of the game, reading my opponents and making decisions based on their understanding of the game.
