🤖 PokerBot Strategy

PokerBot plays Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em using a mix of rule-based and probabilistic strategies:

🏁 Preflop Strategy

Classifies the 3-card starting hand into one of five categories:

• Trips: Raise to max
• Broadway (all cards ≥ Ten): Raise to max
• Pair: Raise to min
• Trash (all cards < 8): Check or fold
• Neutral: Call if cheap, else fold

🔁 Postflop Strategy

Uses Monte Carlo simulations to estimate hand strength against random opponent hands:

• High strength (> 85%) → Raise to max
• Low strength & high opponent aggression → Occasionally bluff (min raise)
• Strength ≥ Pot Odds → Call
• Otherwise → Check or fold

🧠 Opponent Modeling

Tracks how often the opponent commits large amounts of chips:

• If aggressive in >50% of rounds, increases bluff frequency

🂠 Hand Evaluation

Ranks hands using all 5-card combinations from available cards to determine the best hand.
