Typical weekend for me. At least I have a shot at breaking even.

On a side note, does anyone know why a defrag program would stall before finishing the defrag? Everytime I run it it can't get past 60-70%?

what limit? I started out with 6 tables on FT and worked my way up to 9, but it took me about a month to get use to 9 tables. I'm gonna shoot for 12 tables over the next few months, but I can't imagine ever playing more than that since I play for fun/hobby/additional income. Not a pro player so I don't have to worry too much about over all volume.

Lansky, you play on FT? If so, I'm pretty sure I've been at the tables with you.

I just decided that was going to try to download and install HEM, but keep Poker Tracker, too. This looks to be too hard. When I started the installation, HEM detected that I had postgresql installed and suggested new settings. I assume that this would have screwed up PT's access to the postgresql database, so i didn't do it.

Anybody know how to configure my system so that I can run both of these?

i don't have the emails

.

iirc, go to your start tab, click on /settings/control panel

there's a folder thingy on the pop up that says, "administrative tools" double click that.

then click on "services"

scroll down and you'll see PostgreSQL Database server 8.2...

Right click that and either hit "restart" or "start"

i believe that's how i took care of it.

I've tried cascading and it tilts me so much, lol.

I might try connecting my old 17" monitor as a second screen, should be able to play 8-10 tables if it works out.

Also I used to play longer sessions when I was at Party, I really need to work on that.

Didn't seem to work t allow me access to both PT3 and HEM, so i just went ahead and changed postgresql to the HEM settings. I can always reset the DB to the PT3 settings if I decide I don't like HEM (which seems unlikely).

Importing my DB to HEM now (at 39 hands/sec [PT3 did it at 115 hands, wtf?])

Once I had the settings set for HEM and donked around in that software, I uninstalled PT (RIP, PT2). I didn't try to run both so maybe that's the issue. Fwiw, it took me about 1.5 hrs. to import just shy of 200K hands into HEM. Might I suggest a trip to Starbucks with a good book while HEM is importing?

* relatively big tables (stats are reasonably big)
* room for Winamp controls

Here's a screenshot of a 12 tables setup. Haven't played more than 12 but it's obviously extendable to as many tables you like. For 8 tables I use 4 cascades of 2 tables, for 10 tables 5x2 (one cascade in the center of the screen)
