hey guys I've been spending the past little bit creating a pretty solid poker bot. thing wins at a decent rate been working out some kinks though. seems to have a problem as if it values an Ace in the pocket with a little too much value. any programmers have any tips to fix this?

eg:
#Game No : 769541684
***** 888poker Hand History for Game 769541684 *****
$100/$200 Blinds No Limit Holdem - ***

Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 5
Seat 2: loc_crip ( $4,470 )
Seat 3: Gigga514 ( $1,375 )
Seat 4: penrhosAcker ( $1,475 )
Seat 6: hominkahob1 ( $4,345 )
Seat 10: jackJop ( $1,835 )
penrhosAcker posts ante [$20]
jackJop posts ante [$20]
loc_crip posts ante [$20]
Gigga514 posts ante [$20]
hominkahob1 posts ante [$20]
penrhosAcker posts small blind [$100]

Try hard.

thanks, dick

I recommend that you have your bot do some studying as it clearly needs to work on its game. I would recommend having it read the Harrington on Holdem series on tournaments, as well as a few of the classics like Theory of Poker and Mike Caros book of Poker Tells (this last one might not seem like it would help much online but it will give your bot a good sense of tell psycology which can be helpful in online MTTs)

I also recommend that your bot starts posting trouble hands in the appropriate forums to get good solid advice on how to improve it's game. Getting your bot a subscription to a training site might be a good idea too as they go over things like overvaluing an Ace in the hole.

Does your bot have a Job? If your bot has any amount of disposable income your bot could hire a coach to go over preflop strat.

Hope this helps!

programming advice in bbv? how can you make a bot to beat poker when you cant beat poker?

i can beat poker.

bots don't read they're a computer program. dafuq man. can't employ a computer program.

u ppl are useless

how do you know it "wins at a decent rate"?

cuz it wins wtf

how does it win "wtf"

Does "wtf" have a value?

wouldn't that be illegal?

Why does the knob on the back of the computer chair magically disappear in the third box?

no?

Highly dubious and contentious claim. Mighty bold, too. I think you forgot an apostrophe and a t in there somewhere.

If you could "beat poker" (whatever the **** that means), you would simply play at the highest limit playable and own souls.

C+ trolling, OP.

i don't have money soooo ya u r wrong bro

Whatever you say.

I'm willing to bet that you're probably a better programmer than a poker player.

Poker is hard.

I am thinking he is also a bad programmer, and came here to see if someone is going to help with his programming 101 homework.

Yawn.

bots are only as intelligent as their creators therefore op your bot is doomed.

well **** me then i h8 u all

fine by me

Ballabooty,

I am a graduate from MIT. I could take a look at the bot and let you know whats going wrong with it.

this is the worst thread in bbv and that says a lot
