I am sure you learned a lot along the way and I hope you put that knowledge to good use now.
To be frank though, I doubt anyone is going to give you money for an unfinished, not-winning bot. If you want to give back to the community that you learned from, you can release it for free and put it out there for other people to learn from.

Last time I wrote in the welcome thread on the old site I was an IT masters student which looked into botting as a way make some money. I worked on my bot for a few years until other interests took over.

Now I'm an decently payed IT consultant which looks at botting as a mental challenge rather than a way of making money.

Hey,

I'm a high-stakes NLHE HU specialist who used to be active in the HS forums on 2p2 a while ago, but have since stopped posting. I'm still very eager to study the game, and I've made use of game theory in the past to improve my own game. I've recently got back into programming (studying Clojure atm), which I was dabbling into a little bit during my teenage years, and so the natural place to apply this interest is with something I am already passionate about. I'm not so much interested in making bots, as I'm sure that would be way too much work for me, but I would like to develop skills to be able to better analyze the game on my own, and to meet people who share similar interests as I do.

What's up guys I'm Alex, from Argentina, i havent been playing poker now for like a year, I lived 4 years in the states where i played online a lot won 2 big MTT ($10K each) and managed to write and app that at that time ( 2005 ) using the first version of VS.NET i was able to pull info and have a preflop autofolder and multitable i just inputed the top amount of hands i wanted to play and it would let me know when i had it otherwise it autfolded, sadly i lost all that on one of those many formats i did to my cpu but i'm willing to start writing code back. I'm a Senior freelance programmer worked 12 years for the same company and i consider myself well versed in C# and MVC ( doesnt help here ) and I'm willing to start sharing and contributing to any ongoing project there is.

Again glad to be here.
Alex.

Who says MVC is useless in the context of bots? If you want to do it right this is actually a must IMO.

Hi I write most of my code in Clojure. I use it since I am very familiar with Lisp languages. It is great for rapid prototyping but not ideal if you need raw speed, though it can get close to Java if you profile the code and tweak it with type hints, etc.

I was planning on writing a wrapper for one of the Java hand evaluators that are listed here. This shouldn't get me that much of a speed penalty, right? At the moment I'm considering between the spears2p2 and stevebrecher versions, and I'm trying to find out which one is best optimized for range vs. range type of calculations. Any suggestions?

Hi. I'm a long time poker player and added programming as a hobby about a year and a half ago. Naturally I'm mostly applying it to poker. So far I've created some nice limit holdem ai based on the UofA papers and am now working on NL as well as continuing to improve my hand abstraction schemes.

I'm not really all that rich or drunk but I suspected that screen name on one poker site to be a bot so it's the first thing that came to mind.

Subtle denouncement

I may be wrong but Java/Clojure are not the best tools for the raw speed you need for the equity calculations. You are better off using C/C++ and write the higher level code in Java/Clojure.

Yea, C is a little faster. Depends on what you are planning to do. If you want the absolute maximum speed, use C or C++ but for everything I have done so far Java was fast enough, the difference between C++ and Java isnt that huge anymore.

Hello,

I'm writing a nash solver in order to improve my own game.

Hey guys,

I somewhat missed this thread when I registered..

Hi everyone!

I came across the old pokerai.org site right after I got banned on stars, several years ago. But shelved poker botting for a while, just getting back into it again, now.

I'm a programmer. I like automating things.

Hi all,

I'm a computer science student, who used to play poker professionally. I'm still a pretty inexperienced programmer, but I managed to write a HUNL push-fold solver using fictitious play in Java. Next I'm trying to implement it through CFRM, then I plan to slowly expand it.

Hello!

I’m developing a Holdem bot written in C#. It’s still a long way from where it needs to be in order to make money. But I’m working hard and with a little help from you guys, one day…

("Hi")

I am a Highschool student yet, I am going to study Computer Science and have a bit of programming experience.
I'm quite retarded in both english and CS, I will not be of much use there, rather, Im looking to learn. I find it hard and kind of dull to read academic papers (not because I am not interested in the subject, but because whenever I don't understand something, I have to skip it, and I lose the flow) my favourite reads are Source Codes and the old AI wiki.
I think I can be of some help for those interested in using their bots online or datamining, I have a lot of experience in automation and screen detection. I have programmed some bots for videogames in the past, these presented a much bigger challenge than what a poker bot would, specifically; 3d mapping, anti bot tests (one of the games I botted on had a wide array of random events that sometimes popped up that were designed to be hard for bots to do but easy for humans), and human-like mouse movement/typing, etc. The game was RuneScape, if anyone has any interest in the source code and the solutions to the problems I faced, pm me and I'll gladly send you my libraries.
I always used screen reading for my solutions as it provides a much more realistic and applicable challenge than memory reading or injection, it also has much less dependencies.
I was thinking of providing source code for a human like program that reads the tables and acts accordingly, although it's considerably easier than building an AI, I believe most experts can be clueless regarding humanlike automation.
Perhaps that would invite some reciprocation.

@AiWins There are a few people who will rent out their AI to you if you want to use that. Look in Marketplace

Hiho from Austria,

I've been quite active about 3 or so years ago. Same supersonic as in the old forums.
I used to concentrate on SNGs, but with a focus on the early stages of the game.

Made some decent money for a while, but things have become more difficult after about one year.

Have since put my activities to sleep, as having the machines run and loose money got up to me and did not let me sleep very well anymore.

I've recently seen VirtualBox and ReactOS getting more mature. Thinking about a comeback with those two (RDP, ...) and an improved approach...

Cheers, supersonic.

Hi all,

I'm learning information technology and i like programming. Some times i play poker. Once i think "Wow, it could be awesome make a poker bot that play for me", so i search on google about poker bot, and i found this site.

After reading some threads in this forum, i think that i need a lot of skills to make a poker bot, so i hope i can get what i need.

Hi all,

Sorry I have posted before I introduce myself...

I was already present on the old forum (a bit)....

I have stopped bot coding to study for a big certification (more then 1year) and now I'm back to try to "finish" the coding of my bot...

My idea will be to try implement CFRM for 2 players (already working for Kuhn)....

See U on the forum.
