Overview

This project simulates Texas Hold'em hands to find a probability of each hand to win. These statistics are used and updated every time we play a new game and are used for betting.

Concepts Demonstrated

  • bayesian Networks is used to bet based on player's hand
  • Q-Learning is used to find the statistics for the chance a hand will win

Innovation

I wrote my project to keep updating the hand statistics over time (across different instances of the application)

Evaluation of Results

This project has a basic hand evaluation function set that can be improved. Hand probabilities reflect the possibility that the hand won/the times the hand was seen overall.

Additional Remarks

Setting up the framework for this project took more time than originally expected thus the hand evaluation functions are not perfect.
