Honours Project

I thought since I have started a blog it would be an idea to post bit about what I'm doing in my honours project. Hopefully I will be useful for writing my final honours report.

The basis for this project was originally from the guy who create poki poker(A Poker Robot) now known as the poker academy. The idea originally was take the old poki poker and replicate and improve on what had been done before. Implementing a tool that users could learn from this poker bot was the concept. It has since morphed from simple pokerbot into system that be able to replicated human opponents instead of robot who's aim was to maximise win rate. Robots action's are governed by a fixed set of rules for playing against all players. Having a robot playing this way however is not much use when in comes to training however as a good player will constantly beat a robot due its inablity to randomize its game in an organic manner.

Scenario Based Teaching the other option. How to define a scenario, taking limit texas hold 'em heads up as an example there was four main parent Scenarios (Preflop,flop,turn,river). There is also six Actions that can happen on each round (bet,raise,reraise,call,check,fold) and with two player playing gives thirty distinct actions per round these action can be defined as scenarios.
