Releasing my Texas holdem solver (opensourced)
- bupticybee 6y agoPiosolver is so expensive (pro version is about $1000) so I decide to write a opensource,free version of it. I already check it's preformance and result with piosolver and I believe it's a good competitor.
- rkagerer 6y agoI love how the Free version of the software says "sold out".
- bupticybee 6y agoThe author of piosolver stop providing the free version for obvious reasons.
- tschwimmer 6y agoThe reasons are not obvious to me. Why did they stop? Cheating? Annoying support requests? Could sell for more money?
- bupticybee 6y agoMy idea is the free version has some drawbacks: (1) people don't want to pay will stick with this free version (2) it's like a sample pack for solver, you may download the free version and say "it's not so good after all". Bad for business (3) it increase the probability of been hacked
- currymj 6y agothis is very cool. another interesting open-source project for imperfect-information game solving is DeepMind's OpenSpiel: https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel However as far as poker goes, I believe they only provide toy versions of the game, even though theoretically you could put in your own implementation. I've noticed that in this part of the AI world, things tend to be closed-source for whatever reason and I think that limits the ability to learn. Seems good to see that changing.
- bupticybee 6y agoYeah I am aware of this project, and I am current trying write an alpha-star like AI for another holdem simulator https://www.pettingzoo.ml/classic https://www.pettingzoo.ml/classic, I already made some progress and I somehow believe the code for a alpha-star like texas-holdem AI will be released in sometime of the future.
- sharky6000 6y agoHi, thanks:) It does have the large poker games too. You can find generalized poker in the universal_poker game, which wraps the Annual Computer Poker Competition codebase: https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel/blob/master/open_spiel/games/universal_poker.h https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel/blob/master/open_spie... Check out universal_poker_test.cc for example uses. It supports limit and common abstractions as well as the full game of no-limit. There is an example of FCPA which you can play at the keyboard in examples/
- currymj 6y agooh cool, good to know!

- boyka 6y agoWhat's the reason for not entirely resorting to either python or Java?
- bupticybee 6y agoThe reason is simple, I'm not exactly a full time java engineer, as a matter of fact, I write python 80% of my time, all of this project's prototype is written in python in another project. I'm slowly transfering some of the code to java, for now the tree construction part is still in python.
- bupticybee 6y agoTo be simple, python is not fast enought for solving, java is not fast enough for coding. So my solution is build prototype with python and transfer the code to java.
- mihailpalelogu 6y agoThis is huge! I don't know how to thank you enough! I was saving for piosolver so I defintely will give this a try.
- mihailpalelogu 6y agoAfter a few hours of installing all the libraries, it worked. I still don't understand much of what I'm doing, but I managed to run riversolver.sh and view the outputs :) Does it support scenarios with multiple opponents?
- bupticybee 6y agoWow. Thank you for your support For now I still struggle to make it work in two player's preflop (take a ton of time and computation resources). In the future if a lot of people ask for multiplayer I think I will write the code~
