Displaying prohibited stats (PokerStars) in the Replayer HUD

[Dan_Jazz_Man]

It shouldn't be that difficult to differentiate a Replayer HUD from a table HUD.
Can this be implemented? Thanks!

Displaying an otherwise prohibited HUD in the replayer is not permitted under PokerStars Third Party Tools and Services Policy.

Could you point me to a clause in the Policy that states that? Thanks!

I mean, it does not make any sense. If we're not allowed to use a prohibited stat offline, then PokerTracker as a whole should not be allowed.
We can access prohibited stats in reports but not in the offline HUD?

PokerStars Third Party Tools and Services Policy: Reference Guide

There are virtually no restrictions to what the tracking applications can do with the data in terms of what, how and when data is displayed, providing:
• the tracking application is not used to merely mimic the features of an otherwise prohibited HUD

PokerTracker 4 is a permitted tool on PokerStars and the policy states that certain types of statistics are not permitted in the HUD. For example:

HUDs may not:
• Have statistics that are split based on card values. For example, AGGRESSION FREQUENCY is fine, AGGRESSION FREQUENCY ON FLUSH DRAW BOARDS is not.

Thank you for for pointing me to this clause. It's hard for me to grasp what they really mean here though, could you explain this for me?

Right, it is a permitted tool, and it's also allowed to view prohibited stats out of game, why then viewing the same prohibited stats in the HUD out of game is not allowed?

A HUD in the PokerTracker 4 replayer is essentially a copy of the in-game HUD on the table and the restrictions apply there too.

It is permitted but only if the tracking application restricts the functionality while the PokerStars client is open. At this time PokerTracker 4 does not do this so to remain as a permitted tool that HUD functionality is blocked at all times. I am not aware of any plans to change this and I don't know the feasibility of enabling/disabling these statistics dynamically but I'll forward your feedback.

Thank you, being able to use these stats in the HUD with the PS client closed would be awesome!
