The advisor is a bit strange. I don't use it either. But I think you can tweak it's settings to advise you based on certain playing styles. Check out their forum. Lots of q's about program answered there.

As far as how to use. Choose a tourney set-up that most matches those that you play. You can use random opponents or set them based on their playing styles. I don't think the buy-in makes a difference but i could be wrong.
Other players have also created bots that you can download that play a lot like those you may find in low level online games ie moving all-in, chasing draws to the river, etc. Again best to check the forum to make the best use of the program.
