Software Reviews - Poker Academy

Vexbot doesn’t have a great grasp of basic strategy, but it is extremely adaptive to your play, which means after you play a few hundred hands with it, it will probably give you a beating. For limit play, there is Jagbot, a simple basic-strategy player with a complete inability to read others, and Simbot, which mentally simulates the outcome of the different possibilities in order to decide a move, somewhat like a chess program. If the advisor thinks you should fold 3/4 of the time and fold 1/4 of the time, it will show you a little pie chart, 3/4 green and 1/4 red. If you wish to follow this suggestion, you can simply glance at your wristwatch. It also won’t tell you if you’re checking because the board is showing a three-straight, or because you’re out of position without the lead. Because you are not exposed to its reasoning, you can only learn by trial and error, and by example. Above the advisor is a hand evaluator, providing an estimate of the strength of your hand, the pot odds, and potential for improvement. There is a more full-featured hand evaluator window that shows how it comes up with an estimation of hand strength. Make no mistake: if you don’t know how to program, writing a poker bot is probably not a good first project. Unless you’ve studied this sort of thing for years, you probably won’t succeed… but you can certainly discover more about the game along the way.I had never used this feature before, so I tried it out specially for this review. The rating system works like this: winning chips from a high-rated player will give you more points than winning chips from a low-rated player. Also, a large data sample will be worth more points than a small sample. So, to get a high rating, you need to consistently beat high-rated players. You see, if you use a feature like “stack the deck”, your opponents will still be observing your play, and they will draw incorrect conclusions because they’re only seeing you playing with certain kinds of hands or in a certain position. The solution is to use two profiles: one for normal play against the bots, and another for toying around. The developers are aware of this problem and there may be an alternate solution eventually, but right now it will have to do. It’s good enough as long as you are aware of the problem. It's tough.  I remember in one particularly long playing session, I had probably 10 three of a kinds, I won, like twice. I don't believe they are doing any support for this program. So, if it does allow you to give credit card information, that info may go off into the wild blue yonder, without any acknowledgement that it has been received. Alan Bostick, but I think the emulator is very useful as a "practice" tool for every limit I have played. Its no limit stuff is garbage, and won't simulate any kind of game conditions you will ever see, especially tournaments. For low limit, I think it's great, but I don't know how useful it would be for higher stakes. If Alan says it's not real play for that, I believe him. It's also pretty out dated, in my opinion, and probably would have been a good simulator for online play maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Today, it's useful for micro stakes limit hold em, I think. Other than the post flop aggression being really wrong on the low limit simulator, I think it probably reasonably simulates conditions I have experienced up to 4/8 limit hold em.I just went to the site, and it does look like it's up and running again. I think the player Hari is considered the "best" full ring player, but I'm not really sure. I think it also says the pokibots learn you, as well, but they are using a different strategy than the simbots. Among other things, this has the result that pots are generally bigger when I am in position than when I am out of position, and this gives me an edge right there. It makes me wonder whether they, or at least some of them, don't take prior actions in a hand into account except perhaps in assigning a range. I think it will take about 10k hands before he starts making major changes. I found him easy to beat for awhile, and then he all of a sudden started making a lot of really good plays. I think they call him Vexbot, because not much he does makes sense, and after awhile it becomes frustrating to play him. If you play the game online, they have the Polaris heads up bot, which is supposed to be the best limit hold em bot ever developed. I have played in, people donking into raisers is the absolute norm, and live there are some "I only play my hand" type players, that do the same thing. I've played in. I haven't played even 1k hands on it, since beginning online cash games, last September, so I'm really out of touch with how it plays. The limp re-raising stuff is something I don't remember it doing so often. I don't really remember that happening at all in the Advanced Full Ring (maybe the Ogo Pogo player does this), but it sure does happen frequently in the low limit simulator. SnG's, you can practice for free against good to bad players. Standard version you can't simulate a house rake for Ring games, play the cards face-up, stack the deck & run drills, view draws for a hand, see your player stats (except for basic statistics), create custom online tables or private online tables. All this information allows for very sophisticated Profiles to be created. One particular MTT profile has 5 different stages, meaning that it switches between different sections of code depending on the size or your stack. It is futile to play good if you are always playing the same. Your opponents will eventually get the upper hand. Keep in mind that players do take notes and there are also a few HUD type software that collect data on players. The answer is thin on context and objectivity about attempting to give examples and data relating to the original question. Perhaps, Peter, you could add a little depth to your answer regarding "the state of the art" as you currently see it, without necessarily referencing the commercial side of things too much. Otherwise, I may be inclined to delete the answer.
