If the idea was to understand odds in a vacuum, sure. Got that covered. But that's not what I'm after (perhaps the original post was unclear) -- having a program allows for practical application of odds in an infinite variety of situations. Rather than trying to figure that my pair of Ks is a 3-1 favorite* when there are two other players in the hand after a 8-3-2 rainbow flop in thirty seconds or less, I'd like to have played that possibility a couple times to have the sense that I'm a strong favorite based on experience before thinking about outs or what anyone else might have.
Learning by doing as opposed to book learning (applies to many subjects, see also law, sex, etc).
* odds made up b/c I don't feel like calculating them
