Disappointing And With A Program Bug

This product is not for anyone who feels they play well, or who wants to learn to play Hold 'Em poker well. Please consider the following in-game actions...
1. On the Button and pre-flop, player lays down AA to a raise and a re-raise. Oh, really? Pre-flop? Which raise was it that represents a better pre-flop hand than AA? Is AA pre-flop not worth a third bet, or at least a call?
2. On the Button, player lays down 77 with no prior action. Same comment.
3. Big Blind with 42o cold calls a bet & large raise...flop comes 424. Oh, I get it. I know the game has to whittle down the number of players, but a little more subtlety would go a long way.
Want more? I got 'em...as they say...in spades, and examples as ludicrous or more, as the three above. This product is very unrealistic, bordering on the ridiculous.
Now, the program bug. In the middle of a hand, the program forces you into a bet, check or all in...fold is not an option (the FOLD button goes gray), nor can you enter a numerical bet in the window reserved for same. The window becomes frozen with whatever number is in it at the time the flop was exposed.
Anyway, I would not recommend this product to anyone who, as I said, is looking for a purer approach to practicing No-limit Hold 'Em. Most of the real fun associated with this game is to try and figure out what kind of poker player(s) were behind the thinking. I understand tight, but folding top two pair to a raise with no pair, straight or flush showing on the board...Ouch!! So, if you simply want to pass some time away ...
