Is there any poker program that is worth buying? Also, anyone know of a program that calculates odds for you right on your screen?

I tried out Poker Academy Pro out yesterday and it loosk to be a superb program. The Pro version is expensive, but you've got so much control - from players, numbers, starting chips, difficulty to logging of the hands, advisors, odds and strength of hand.

If you're looking to improve your solid play, it's a great program. I'm unsure of how much it will try to bluff you, I'm not sure how smart the AI is, although it plays a solid game in the demo version and the statistics and advice is invaluable.

Try the demo at http://www.poker-academy.com/ and see what you think - I think I've improved already just playing a few simple hands in the demo version, and I'm going to purchase the standard version (Can't really afford $100+ for the Pro version)
