I suspect that you will be in for a few nasty surprises when you start to build a significant sized PT database. 
 
I bought PT2 when I first started playing online. I played (relatively) tight even from the start as I'd studied and researched the game before putting any money in, but i still had some surprises at how unprofitable some hands were, and hands that I'd thought to be very good turning out to be marginal (if played in position and negative EV if played out of position).
 
Hands like QTo, JT, KTo were hands that I'd play from EP when I first started playing, but PT soon showed me the error of my ways.
 
I'd recommend checking position stats in PT. It will not be too helpful initially, but as you build up a larger database, you should (if you are playing wisely) notice that your VP$IP decreases noticeably as you move from LP to Mp to EP. I'd also recommend checking out your significant loosing hands (ideally after each session) using the replayer to see where you went wrong. You will be surprised at how obvious some mistakes are - though doing something to prevent yourself from replicating those mistakes is rather more difficult.
 
At the risk of being accused of having some kind of financial interest in PT ([B]I do NOT[/B]) in view of the number of times I praise it, I would say buy a license when the commercial version is available. It'll probably cost about $60 -$70 but it will be money well spent. The more hands you build up in your database, the more useful it gets.
