Chip Reset & Game Continuation

Both players will start again with 1000 chips. If you run out of chips, you can reset the chips by clicking the Reset Chips button. The bot will be automatically refilled to 1000 chips if it runs out. You can continue playing without losing your progress.

About the Bot's Strategy

The bot you play against uses a simplified poker strategy based on hand strength and probability. Before the flop, it groups hands by strength and acts accordingly. After the flop, it estimates its chances of winning using a Monte Carlo simulation: it runs hundreds of random trials to simulate possible outcomes, calculating its equity (chance to win) against your possible hand. The bot then compares its equity to the pot odds and chooses actions like fold, call, raise, or all-in, aiming to make mathematically sound decisions.

This approach makes the bot challenging and educational, giving you a realistic poker experience while demonstrating how probability and simulation can guide decision-making in games of chance.
