Poker Training Software? Poker Training Software?

This is a repost of this message, as I had posted it in the wrong place originally. Sorry about that.

Forgive me. I know I just signed up yesterday and this is already my 4th post. Not meaning to be a nuisance if anyone is interpreting it that way.

I also did a post recently that is kind of related to this one, although the intent is a different inquiry with both of them. Apologies if they come off differently.

I was just wondering if anyone would share their opinions on the poker training options that might be available.

Specifically, any software that might be available out there. It doesn't have to be anything new but just something that can work. By that I mean both as an effective training tool and that will actually operate. It could be old as dirt but if it works, I might be interested.

Although if someone would express a negative opinion about something that didn't work so well, that would also be appreciated.

I did post recently about Poker Academy and Poker Genius, but both of those don't seem like options any longer.

I have come across some poker training websites out there. Anyone have any experience with any of those?

I am a little hesitant to sign up for those, especially the ones that charge a recurring fee, either monthly, yearly, etc. For me personally, a one-time fee is a more attractive option. What is the opinion of others in the forum?

Is there anything out there that allows the user to create situations of his/her/their choosing so as to practice specific scenarios?

What about just playing against AI opponents with real time advice? This is something that was available in Poker Academy/Genius.

I do practice as much as I can at play money tables, but it is almost impossible to learn poker at these tables in online poker rooms. A player can learn a little, but it isn't real poker and I'm sure plenty of you can concur with that opinion.

Any insights any of you could give me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and thanks for reading this post.

Build your own "poker coach" without spending $450.
PS $230, HM $100, Flopzilla $35, GTO+ $75, Equilab Free
View poker software as a balance barometer.

If every player is in equilibrium, no one makes money.
Exploitation is Poker. Exploitation is money.

The player 'in balance', can better exploit his opponent.

Watch a soccer player cut with the outside foot.
If the player uses the inside step, inevitably they slip and fall because the player moves from an "out of balance" position.

The micro view.
Holdem Manager - import hand histories and view specific hand situations.
HM will replay the hand for your review. Graph your tendencies and success rates of cbetting and 3betting.

The macro view.
PokerSnowie (PS)- import hand histories. PokerSnowie will analyze your play v AI mass data. PS will give you a sophisticated grade for your level of play.
PS will collect blunders, errors and moves and allow you to browse your play.
You can take each hand and replay the hand in the 'scenarios' section. In each position of any scenario, PS will show you a balanced range for your position.
Even multiway, preflop, PS will give you a balanced range for your review.

Build your ranges in PS, copy them to Flopzilla and export them automatically to GTO+
GTO+ and Flopzilla will take your ranges and allow you to play both sides of the hand from 163 different flops. This will allow the player to think ranges, buckets and exploits from a balanced postion.

To Study
import and review blunders and browse errors in PS
Pokersnowie analyze pf ranges then update and hone flopzilla ranges and export to gto+

Flop
Gto+ v pokersnowie
Equilab multiway equity until heads up
gto+ solver play range v range in and out of position in blunder/error scenario

Summary
None of the software should be viewed as .how to play poker.. The software gives you a balanced position, as you prepare to exploit villain.
AND most importantly, grades your play of a losing session. You might be playing great but have no support against a run bad period. This stops me from going mad, when the deck hits villain. PS lets me know I am not on a spew.

That is a fascinating point of view. A very sound point of view at that. Definitely something to consider. Something to take seriously.
