1. Clone the Poker Table system here and set it up (instructions provided on that repo).
2. Clone this repository.

pip install -r requirements.txt cd pokerbot

3. Run an example bot using the strategy provided (example_strat_1.py). All you have to do for this have two or more team members run main.py and connect to server provided (edit server and port details in a .env file). (Or you can run multiple bots in different terminals.)
4. Once you understand how the game proceeds, look at example_strat_2.py for a very bare bones approach of how you can think about making a Poker bot that thinks algorithmically. Change line 21 in main.py to use example_strat_2 instead.
5. Once you understand this, you can proceed to example_strat_3.py which is a little more complicated but nothing too crazy.
6. If you have any questions, reach out to any organizing members walking around. Good luck!
