Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1638610, member: 40397"] ^^^ I'm aware of that thread, and have followed it for awhile. BTW you might want to quote it properly or highlight it, because there for a minute I thought you were stating that last part, and it looked awfully familiar, lol. That thread was started by support, requesting input from tourney players on improving HEM support for tourneys. The primary gripe from that poster is that he wants to maintain Hero stats for an entire tournament, across table changes, which HEM doesn't support. He also wants report filters that can separate out the different tourney types, as you mentioned earlier. PT3 apparently excels there, but that's mostly it. If you look at this exchange between the same poster and another earlier in that same thread: So even he is saying they're very close, and this by far is not the only former PT3 users saying they'd like to never look back at PT3. That should tell you something, although I'm sure the PT3 forums have their share of former HEM players. As I've said, I'm no HEM fanboy and make no excuses for whatever their shortcomings may be. I just don't personally have any shortcomings with them, and based on the volume and types of games I play, I prefer HEM based on my prior experience with PT3. Nothing I've seen from PT3 lately would change that, but I may install an update if I can find my license key and give it another go just to see. I've repeatedly stated that either product will serve the vast majority of poker players equally well. Where one is weaker, it usually makes up by being stronger in other areas, but they're ultimately pretty close. I don't know the numbers or if they're even possible to gather, but I think that some time ago HEM surpassed PT3 in market share. I know at the training sites I'm a member of, HEM is used at probably a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio over PT3, and that includes among tournament specialists, so it's not like HEM has no part of the MTT market. So while PT3 probably ways a little more in favor of tourney players, and HEM weighs heavier towards cash players, the reality is that both are very close in functionality, and either will be an adequate choice. It's largely just a preference thing. I liked HEM better than PT3 from the first time I tried it. Others feel the opposite. Sometimes it's not even about specific functionality, but just a subjective look & feel type thing. I'm not trying to convince anyone that HEM is better than PT3, only pointing out that I like it better for what I play. [/QUOTE]
