What are people's opinions on the best wilson turbo type software. I am planning on buying something to practice without playing online and I am curious as to what the best programs are, if not wilson. Any opinions are greatly appreciated

Thanks

Wilson is the best, it's well worth the money. it may look a little bit old, but it is a very complex program. buy it!

Negatory. Look up Poker Academy. Its much better. It has the most advanced poker AI in the world.

Is it newer? I mean, there has got to be someone how has made better than wilson I figured only b/c wilsdon is that old

Poker Academy was developed as a direct result of Research into AI conducted by the University of Alberta's comp sci games group. The games group has developed a number of world class game AI (like the world champion checkers player chinook). It was developed a few years ago I think... However, since then there has been massive improvements that have gone into it.

-it uses actual AI unlike wilson. It will model your behaviour after 1000 or so hands and adapt to it.
-you can adjust the behaviour of the AI (both pre and post flop)
-Poker Academy uses a number of AI bots in the program... You can play a variety of different bots which use different AI programs and play differently and most of them are customizable. i.e. if you have a tough time playing against maniacs, you can make the AI behave this way and practice against it
-The limit AI is the strongest although the no limit AI is getting better.
-support for this program is amazing. They're constantly updating and adding features to the program. They also support research into AI to help improve their product.

See http://www.poki-poker.com/ for more details on it.

It is without any doubt far superior to wilson.
download the demo and see for yourself.

I have both poker academy pro and wilsons software, but I must say, even tough wilsson is a bit old and look kinda trashy, its still better to learn with than poker academy

I use Wilson. It could use a facelist and a modernized UI, but it is a great tool to practice offline.

Seriously, I was hoping for testamonials not sales pitches. And those were bad sales pitches at that
