Great post.
Only the Limit bots adapt to your play. The NL bots can't adapt.
I have made a few adjustments to make Poker Pro like the games I play in.

It is useful, even if it's not as difficult as playing against live players. The more I play, the more I use the player statistics analysis. Regardless of how you do against bots, it can tell you your tendencies--such which hands you are aggressive/passive with in which positions.
