Turbo Texas Hold'em is everything. You put up just about any kind of table you want; type of players, number of players, etc. Even the best players in the world have difficulty holding their own against the best of these players. And I am not sure weather they can even do it, as there are one or two lineups that are so strong and tricky.

Currently am losing against the Turbo Holdem V4's tight lineup (raise less, all adjust), and in the past have been able to hold just my own vs. solid good profiles. I have had it for more than a year, but only now have discovered a lineup and lineups (if I put my own up from the toughest to beat) that beat me.

The only difference is that they don't play all the time like real opponents, that are easier to read, as they play more solid and don't do too much unpredictable stuff. Many of those profiles, however, play top class poker, weather they are regularly unpredictable or not. They regularly play even better than the top humans. The partial irrationality makes them even tougher at high limit play vs. solid opponents, while at lower turbo limits it makes them play worse, not like humans; but there are better lineups/profiles for lower limits also, and the Turbo is not really something one needs for low limit practise, other than get a feel for it if one has forgotten.

One can also run simulations on every street, to get answers; I have used it mostly for preflop strategy. Turbo also deals very fast, so you get to play hands in a flash, and can even make it to skip all the about nonplayable hands, though then you don't get the blinds cost in to it without tricky math (I haven't figured it out), so you would know how much you win or lose per hour against this or that lineup. The ordinary dealing is however fast, and it can skip the rest of the hand after you fold some hand, and the next hand comes immediately. You can also put it to deal any hand to you, as simulated but play it yourself, so you can practise to play that hand any number of times.

There is no match for this program. Wilson's web site has more info; worth reading.

Also don't miss Abdul's link there, not that I agree with all of it, as it's mostly for higher limit. (Also see the online poker playing site - pokerroom - has published it's preflop results about every level of play. That's not simulated, but from real play.)
