Mason,

I completely agree about the weakness of play of both the opponents and the advisor contained in TTH. I have been wondering lately if this is simply a flaw in the default decisions given to most opponents or in the whole decision making system contained in the program.

That is, do you think it would be possible to modify one of the given opponents, or create one of your own, that would closer simulate a more realistic and more profitable playing style using the options given to you by the program? If someone was able to do this(or already has) then I think Wilson could be a very powerful tool. I have tried to make a few tweaks here and there to increase the skill of the computer, with a little success, but I can't help but think that no matter what I do I will end up with a very unrealistic representation of a poker player.
