I haven't reported anything about PokerAlfie for about a year.
These are the improvements that have been made during this time:
- There are now 3 AIs to choose from in the app:
1. Poker AI v3.1
This is the AI that Rickroll played against, but with a few very small improvements.
2. Poker AI v4.0
This is the complete opposite of v3.1 – very aggressive
The skill level is about the same as version 3.1 or maybe even slightly weaker.
3. Poker AI v5.0
It is a more balanced and stronger player than v3.1 and v4.0. For many users, v5.0 presents a much greater challenge than older versions.
- Analysis - Feature:
Analysis offers the possibility to replay any poker hand you want and ask the AI for advice and suggestions in every situation of the hand. Any hand means: a
hand played against PokerAlfie, or a hand you have played elsewhere, or a hand played by others in a live poker tournament, or …

How strong is Poker AI v5.0? Here are some comments from other users:
1. “
I've played 1111 hands so far (spread over 10 tournaments with 2 of them being wins and these are my initial impressions:
• I agree with you that v5 seems a lot more balanced, especially compared to v4, which I thought was too aggressive. In v4, the strategy that seemed to work best was to rarely or never bluff (fold to most aggression if you have nothing) but then when you have stuff, you can be passive and let them bet into you to make the pot large. At the end you can bet large or raise and they'll often call. With v5, I found that I needed to bluff to win, since it often (correctly) folded when I bet a good hand (and I couldn't rely on their aggression to build the pot).
• So far, I think v5 is more fun to play against. When I played against v3 and v4, my play style was somewhat formulaic, but with v5 I have to put effort into thinking about whether I'm making a good bluff. Maybe if I play several thousand more hands I'll start to find more robotic patterns like I did for v3 and v4.
• There are still some strange issues with calling patterns

Hey there! Nice app.
Played 5k hands and won at 6bb/100, started losing big until I found it's weaknesses.
It will make crazy calls against overbets on the river x3 or x4, a lot of them on paired boards with things like K high on a board where plenty of hands were possible. So easy to get a lot of value from your strong hands.
If you found a way to fix that, it would be amazing and harder to beat.
Great UI, regards!

Future development:
I’ll try to improve the algorithm of v5.0 - especially issues with calling. If I make progress I’ll add a new improved version v6.0 to app.
