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

According to calculations, it's best to play in your head

I play based on my knowledge and information that I write down for each player I play with.

I prefer to play by feel and based on my opponents and my recollection of their tendencies.

It depends on the tournament I'm playing, the main thing is to play knowing what to do, if you play, enjoy and have fun, but if it's winning, I played everything in favor of the statistics.

As a hobbyist I don't use any stats, but if someone is determined to be a pro, it's inevitable to look at the percentages and build into your game.
I don't think anyone can become a professional without it.

Statistics are interesting but i use them only as curiosity. I always play by feel.

My game is basically recreational, so investing a lot of time in using statistics and data or programs is not for me. salutes

Utilizing statistics in online poker is immensely important and can significantly enhance a player's game. It provides a quantitative foundation for decision-making, offering insights into opponents' tendencies, your own playstyle, and situational advantages. For example, understanding a player's VPIP (Voluntarily Put $ in Pot) can reveal their general aggressiveness or passivity. Similarly, a high 3-bet stat might indicate a propensity for pre-flop aggression.

Its much better to have math as a friend than to have math as an enemy.

A bit of both. I have learned off the basic odds etc, it does sometimes frame how I play a hand. I usually play abc poker, and play more aggressively late in tournaments.

I don't even remember this hand, but if it was in a forum freeroll, that explains everything. In free tournaments, I play for fun and can significantly expand my opening ranges and can generally go all-in right away, as you said, and whether I win or lose doesn't matter to me either, so if I beat your aces with my sevens, then I'm sorry, it's just a regular freeroll)

I am Steve McQueen all the way.......you just got to feel in your gut what to do.
I rely more on my own logic and experience than on my feelings. I'm not used to playing on intuition, I'm used to just calculating my own chances and making decisions based on that calculation.
