DeeperMind pokerbot for pokerstars, partypoker and GGPoker

This pokerbot plays

automatically on Pokerstars, Partypoker and GG Poker. Any other table can?? be mapped as

well. It works with image recognition, montecarlo simulation and a basic genetic

algorithm. The mouse is moved?? automatically and the bot can potentially play for hours

based on a large number of parameters.

You can download the binaries?? and run the

executable directly from here: http://deepermind-pokerbot

Running the bot:

Use Fast

Forward Tables

Select Official PartyPoker table scraper

Use Zoom Tables

Select Official

?? Poker Stars table scraper

For Pokerstars you will need to make some adjustments to the

client. It needs to look exactly?? as the below, in order to run it with the Official

Pokerstars Table scraper:

Make sure to match the card styles?? (4 color), covered card

styles, and table styles.

Make sure your GGPoker setup looks as follows when using it

with the?? Official GGPoker Table:

General setup:

If you just want to run the bot, please

do the following:

Install the binearies of the bot?? from here:

http://deepermind-pokerbot

You can then immediately run the bot. It will analyze the

poker client, move the mouse and play?? in accordance with one of its pre-programmed

strategies. Most of the strategies are based on zoom or Fast Forward tables.?? You are

welcome to edit and imporve any strategies to optmize the play of the bot for your

needs.

In most?? cases it may be useful to put the poker client inside a virtual machine

to avoid it from interfering with?? the bot. Also, the bot will then be able to control

the mouse inside the virtual machine, without blocking the?? whole computer:

Download

Virtualbox: //virtualbox/

Download Windows 10 Iso File for example from here

//softlay/apps/operating-system

Create a new virtual box environment and use?? the

ISO file as a startup

Make sure to give the Virtualbox only 1 CPU as the computing

power is needed?? for the bot (mainly for OCR)

Install Partypoker or Pokerstars in the

virtual box environment

Install the pokerbot directly onto your computer?? (outside of

the virtual box)

In the Setup select your virtual box instance (instead of direct mouse

control)

Join the discord chat?? by pressing the chat button or joining this link:

//discord.gg/xB9sR3Q7r3

The current version Only works on windows

Do not obstruct

the view?? of the table as the bot is based on image recognition

Only one table window

should be visible.

For best performance minimize?? all windows in the vm, except the

table window itself

Don't use any dpi scaling in the virtualbox

In setup, try to?? select

your virtual machine instead of direct mouse control. That way mouse movements won't

obstruct you.

Strategy Analyzer

You can see the?? profitability of each strategy in the

strategy analyzer.

The bar chart indicates what action types have led to wins or losses

?? at each stage (preflop, flop turn and river)

Looking at the stacked bar chart in more

detail, gives you clues how?? to adjust the strategy to maximize your wins:

Analyze

individual rounds within each stage:

Analyze individual hands:

Strategy editor

A

variety of factors are?? taken into consideration when the bot makes decisions and they

can be adjusted in the strategy editor:

Equity (winning probability), which?? is

calculated by a montecarlo simulation

Equity and minimum call/bet value need to be on

the left of the corresponding curve?? in order for the bot not to fold

Various other

factors, such as behaviour in the previous rounds are taken into?? consideration. Check

out the strategy editor for more details.

Hover over each item to see a more detailed

description

A variety of?? other options can be edited for each strategy:

Advice how to

improve strategies:

You will generally require at least 2000 hands played?? with a

strategy to draw any conclusions. Even better 5000 hands. Anything less than 1000 hands

is completely random.

Best buy?? in more than the minimum, this will improve the bots

performance as it has more leeway to play. For example?? on a 0.01/0.02 table, buy in

more than the minimum ofR$2. Ideally start withR$4 or even more.

Look at the strategy

?? analyzer and work your way backwards. First improve the River play, then once this is

good move on to the?? Turn, then to the Flop etc. This is because the game is path

dependent.

If you make changes in the ranges,?? you may need to adapt all minimum

equities as it changes the equity calculation.

Good Luck!

Mapping new tables

The bot?? can learn to read new tables, either by using

templates or by training a neural network that uses data augmentation?? based on the

given templates.

Click this link to see a Video description how to add a new table or

watch?? the video on deepermind-pokerbot

The setup to add new tables looks like

this:

Open the pokerbot and click on table setup to?? open the window that helps you

create new tables.

Open the poker client next to it, make sure it's not dpi?? scaled, so

the pokerbot can take screenshots.

Start with creating a new template, you can do this

by entering a name?? for your template, for example Pokerstars 1-2 zoom poker. Click on

'Blank new'.

Now the first think you want to do?? is to take a screenshot of the

pokerstars window with the table. You can do this by pressing on the?? Take screenshot

button. You should not see in the lower window a full screenshot of what is on your

screen.

The?? first step is now to mark the top left corner of the poker tables window,

which will be the point?? of reference for everything else that will follow. To mark the

top left corner, you need to mark it by?? first clicking on the top left part of it and

then on the right lower part of it. once you?? have done this, it will appear in the

second window. You can save it by clicking on the "save newly?? selected top left corner"

button.

Now you can crop it by pressing on the crop from top left corner button. This

?? will discard most of the screenshot and only keep the screenshot from the top left

corner and everything a few?? hundred pixels to the right of it and below.

Next you will

want to mark everything else in the window. Start?? with the Buttons search area. You can

do this again by clicking on the top left area of the buttons?? and then on the bottom

right area of where the buttons appear. Once you are happy with the selection, click?? on

the "Buttons search area".

If you hover over the buttons, you will get a more detailed

description of what you?? need to pay attention to.

Note that you will need to take many

screenshots, crop them (don't select the top left?? corner again, as this you should only

do once), instead load it and then crop the image. After that make?? your selection of

the different

and save them by pressing on the corresponding button. You'll need

to teach it?? every card and every button etc.

Notes to keep in mind:

IT IS NOT

RECOMMENDED TO CONDUCT TESTS WITH REAL ACCOUNTS UNTIL?? YOU VERIFY THE CORRECT

FUNCTIONING OF THE BOT (ALSO TO AVOID LOSS OF ACCOUNTS AND CAPITAL)

Minimum system

requirements to run?? the bot:

Windows 10 x64 or later (It may work in previous versions

but its correct operation has not been verified)

RAM?? memory 4 GB or more

hard drive

space 1.6 GB (as always the more the better)

Micro processor with 4 cores and?? 4 threads

or higher

GPU is not necessary (neural training gives the option to do it on

GPU)

screen resolution 1920*1800 (it?? can work with less but its correct operation has

not been verified)

consider the consumption of Virtual box if used and?? add them to the

system explained above

Poker apps usually run on W7 or higher

VirtualBox version 7.0.12

or higher with its?? respective expansion pack

Running via docker

$ git clone

//github/dickreuter/Poker.git

$ cd Poker

$ docker compose up -d

$ xhost

local:root # This permits the?? root user on the local machine to connect to X windows

display

$ docker-compose exec app python3 main.py # once the?? container is running you

can launch the bot with this command

Next Priorities

[ ] Update tests. Some are currently outdated.?? More tests are

needed

[ ] Add more strategies

[ ] Switch from using pytesseract to tesserocr to speed

up OCR, this?? should considerably speed up the bot

[ ] Better Analyze the collected data

to improve strategies

Making fixes in the code

Fixing code?? and making a pull request

back into the origin/master:

It will be hard for one person alone to beat the world?? at

poker. That's why this repo aims to have a collaborative environment, where models can

be added and evaluated.

To contribute?? do the following:

Get Pycharm and build the

virtual python environment. Use can do: pip install -r requirements.txt (see

above)

(see above)?? Clone your fork to your local machine. You can do this directly from

pycharm: VCS --> check out from version?? control --> git

Add as remote the original

repository where you created the fork from and call it upstream (the connection?? to your

fork should be called origin). This can be done with vcs --> git --> remotes

Create a

new branch:?? click on master at the bottom right, and then click on 'new branch'

Make

your edits.

Ensure all tests pass. Under file?? --> settings --> python integrated tools

switch to pytest. You can then just right click on the tests folder and?? run all tests.

All tests need to pass. Make sure to add your own tests by simply naming the funtion

?? test_...

Make sure all the tests are passing. Best run pytest as described above (in

pycharm just right click on the?? tests folder and run it). If a test fails, you can

debug the test, by right clicking on it and?? put breakpoints, or even open a console at

the breakpoint:

//stackoverflow/questions/19329601/interactive-shell-debugging-with-pycharm

Commi

t your changes (CTRL+K}

Push your changes to your origin (your?? fork) (CTRL+SHIFT+K)

To

bring your branch up to date with upstream master, if it has moved on: rebase onto

upstream master:?? click on your branch name at the bottom right of pycharm, then click

on upstream/master, then rebase onto. You may?? need to resolve soe conflicts. Once this

is done, make sure to always force-push (ctrl+shift+k), (not just push). This can?? be

done by selecting the dropdown next to push and choose force-push (important: don't

push and merge a rebased branch?? with your remote)

Create a pull request on your github

to merge your branch with the upstream master.

When your pull request?? is approved, it

will be merged into the upstream/master.

Please make sure that all tests are passing,

including the pylint test.?? You can either run them locally on your machine, or when you

push check the travis log on github. [currently?? many are failing, feel free to help

fixing them!]

FAQ

No top left corner

Make sure everything looks exactly like in the

picture?? at the top of this documentation. The buttons need to look exactly like this

and it needs to be in?? English and not scaled. Colours need to be standard. Most tables

are mapped to real money. They won't work with?? play money. The poker table window has

to be fully visible and cannot be scaled, otherwise it won't be detected?? properly. In

Partypoker, when you open the table, choose table options and then choose back to

default size to make?? sure the table is in default size.

Tables are mapped for fast

forward and zoom games with real money. Use the?? Supersonic3 table for Partypoker or

McNaught table in Pokerstars.

If things still don't work, consider teaching it a new

table as?? described above.

Cards not recognized

Make sure everything looks exactly like

in the picture at the top of this documentation. Make sure?? to use real money. Tables

are different for play money. Ensure you are seated at the position as shown in?? the

picture above. Currently the bot only works for tables with 6 players.

Do I need to use

a virtual machine?

For?? Pokerstars you definitely do, otherwise you will be blocked and

your account will be frozen within minutes. For Partypoker I'm?? not sure. But best check

the terms and conditions.

Analyzing the log and reporting problems

In the folder where

you installed the?? pokerbot, there is a subfolder with the log files in /log. There are

also screenshots in /log/screenshots that may be?? able to help debug the problem.
