Hello,

I've been working for a while on a poker software, using my own AI, and I woud greatly appreciate to get some advices and suggestions about it, so I can improve it. I made it free and open source, so anyone can have a look on the code. It uses the pokereval library for hands simulations. Currently, the supported platform is only windows (but it is intended to be portable, and should compile under Linux or other operating systems with a bit of work).

Nice software. The settings will accept changing the stack sizes to a smaller value than $1000, say $500 but then it will revert to $1000. Also the xml files for the deck styles available in the linked site contain different tags than the default deck style which causes the software to fail to parse the files.

Hi Marc,

Do you have any tips on compiling the software?
It requires PokerTH, right?
I had a go a while back but hit a wall.. could easily be that i'm being stupid however.

Thanks

Can you give a brief description of the AI? I'm assuming it's something like MCTS or Poki?

Thanks nemesis, I'll fix that as soon as possible.

I'm currently using Visual C++ 2010 to compile it, under Windows 8. It doesn't require PokerTH, but I have reused parts of their code (intended for Linux) for the pure graphic user interface part, and the basic rules (stack and pot handling, giving cards to players....). PokerTH has also a "solo game" mode (against computer opponents), but I have completely rewritten this part of PokerTH, added a statistics module, and introduced the pokereval open source library in it. I 've created 4 different computer opponent's profiles, and I've also written a code for estimating the opponent's ranges (because pokereval estimate only chances again random cards, not against the estimated opponent range). If you download the complete source archive on sourceforge, you should be able to recompile it on Windows, or even Linux, without too much effort. Ask me if you encounter problems.

No, I'm just trying to translate into C++, a set of good poker practices found, for the most part, in my numerous Harrington poker books . I'm using the pokereval library for pure maths simulations, and I've added my own stuff to try to get something useful. I'm still working on the ranges estimation (refining it at every betting round, given what the player did previously), so the next version (1.2) should play better (or less bad) than today. You will certainly still find some (more or less) obvious flaws in the game, and my goal for the next months is to reduce them as much as possible, so an average player can benefit from training against the software. Every constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated, to help me improve the poker played in this software.

did you manage to generate HHs in a known format like PokerStars so we can use an actual HUD and report stats from PT4/PT3/HEM/HM2?
