I've come to believe that many people do not understand how easy it is to build a poker bot. I have built a poker bot and well to be quite honest, its been losing money. I tried letting it play the 3/6 and 2/4 tables with just good hands but that won't cut it... what limit will? .50/1.
For the last few days, its been playing .50/1 and the variance as been quite huge.
My bot plays on PartyPoker and it has the current abilities:
-Can tell how many people are seated at a table
-Can Autojoin tables if (numplayers <= 6)
-Plays only good cards (this REALLY needs to be worked out)
My next version will support the following:
-Has the ability to do players tracking (I can track a users play [fold,call/check,bet] on the preflop,flop,turn,and river - then analyze that play and determine the best strategy)
-Neural Network Analysis - Based on
http://spaz.ca/aaron/poker/nnpoker.pdf - Neural Networks have really good prediction capabilities and this paper describes that
Honestly, I'm trying to build a winning poker bot... but so far I've come up short... I haven't played .50/1 long enough to see if it can win but only time will tell.
