parks and stats, even a question too.

ah, let's see... HersheyPark was fairly impressive as far as theme parks go... The only downsides were 1) a lack of ahem, adult beverages - I get spoiled by Busch Gardens, which of course will have plenty of cold beer - and 2) a fairly spread out footprint, more rectangular than compact ...but I'll give credit for a bunch of coasters from wooden to modern steel, and the water park smack dab in the middle is a nice touch.

Anyhow, so long as you can put up with the usual long lines, and the amazing show of just horrid, shitty tattoos people manage to slap on themselves - it's not such a bad spot for a family weekend junket.

Haven't played much lately, but when I have, I've been a massive overaggro spewtard OOP where I'm convinced everyone is raising me light, and have just not been paying attention/thinking too deeply. So, I'm in a tread-water mode until I shape up and play smarter again.

In other news - I managed to accidentally shitcan my saved hand histories for the last few years (don't ask) - so I figured I would try to ask Stars and FTP as a test of customer support if they can resurrect them.

Stars: Initially responded within an hour, had links up to EVERYTHING in two hours, later sent tournament summaries for MTTs and SnGs in a followup email the next morning.

Tilt: Initial automated response insta-shipped back to me. Nothing further 24 hours later.

Yeah, that parallels most people's experiences.
Too bad I historically run way, way better on FTP.

Since I've got a bunch of hand histories now - what do people use to track their own stats nowadays, PokerTracker or HoldemManager? Which is better for tracking MTTs/SnGs?

I use HEM, but as I understand it, they're both about the same - personal preference I guess. A lot of folks had PT2 already and were used to it so waited through the upgrade and bugs - PT3 should be stable by now. I think they both have demos, so give em a try. It's fun to watch my BR shrink into oblivion on the fancy graphs....
