I don't bother with using any programs. I play honestly and for fun.

Normally i play by feel. I did not have any pokertracker or tools to track other players. In the past i make notes but actually i make no notes. In the software i use for example 888 and gg there are some information for every player. These statistic are sometimes nice to use. But the statistic valid is with bias of less hands.

I must admit I do not really understand "playing by feel" idea 
Does it mean you ignore poker math? For me poker is all about math and statistics. "Felling" could be only to decide if the opponent bluffs or should I bluff in some spots. But choosing bluffs to spot is still to be decided by some reasoning, not emotions. If I am to decide if someone bluffs I also try to consider his playing style, things he did in the past if I have any data, the board texture, the opponent previous bids and their posssible cards, my cards and EV etc.. Well, it doesn't sound like "by feel" at all

If by statistics you mean some type of HUD, then no, just feel. I've never used them.
But if by statistics you mean taking into consideration odds and outs, then I do use statistics.

I use GGPoker's Smart HUD and I'm honing my instincts for live tournaments.

I use basic stats and ranges, but also trust my feel at the table. Best results come from mixing both.
