That software looks great. Here it the description of their most expensive product. They have cheaper ones but with this one it sounds like you can create players and give them a playing style. Still its almost $100.

The most powerful and easy to use Texas hold'em poker program available. Create players with individual playing styles. Play against 2 to 10 players. Use high speed simulation for hand analysis. Get advice and exact odds as you play. Set blinds, bet amounts, rake, toke, etc. Extensive statistics and play evaluation. Let's you peek, replay hands and more!

$89.95

I completely support the Wilson software...My dad and I split the cost for the limit Texas Hold'em one, and it's a great teacher. Worth the money, though it's not a game per se. You don't win money and take it to some casino, it's more of a simulation to help you learn the game.

For free games against real people just check out places like partypoker.com, you can sign up w/o a credit card and just play for fun.

I play partypoker as well. If you find the right tables its pretty easy to make some money. I play just to win my entry fee for the occasional tournament.

Do you get bombarded with popups when you are playing? I was just trying to install, and got hit with about 10 popups, and they wouldn't stop through the whole registration, so i deleted it.

Re: Poker game suggestions for PC

The one negative of playing at any of the online poker sites for free is that your opponents play is VERY unrealistic. In my experience, the only similarity between the free games and the real money games is that both decks have 4 suits.

If you have some money to burn, you can play the .5/1 games on one of those sites. As long as you play relatively tight, your money should last awhile. Otherwise that Wilson Poker site looks interesting, although I would have preferred they combined the 2 poker games instead of charging $150 for both.

you don't get 'realistic' play unless you play for more money, even in real life...even 3-6 tables in casinos have players that play really loose

I agree. In lower stakes games people tend to "chase" a lot. They'll call anything until the river especially if they have an ace. The key is to play tight and make them pay for it when you have a good hand. You'll be able to identify this type of player pretty easily both online and in a casino. They'll play things like 7,9 offsuit, anything suited and they'll play an ace no matter what their other card is.

My only complaint about part poker is some of the hands seem a little too "convenient." You see a lot of AA vs KK, A high flush vs K high flush, etc. I once lost with 4Q's to 4A's. Now thats a bad beat.
