PokerGPT

work in progress
pythonopenaigptpokernlp

An AI poker assistant that uses GPT to analyze hands, suggest strategies, and explain poker concepts. My attempt to combine my love for poker with my interest in AI.

What is this?

PokerGPT is an AI-powered poker assistant that uses OpenAI's GPT models to help players improve their game. It can analyze hands, suggest strategies, explain poker concepts, and even simulate conversations with poker pros to learn from their thought processes.

Features

  • Hand analysis and strategy suggestions
  • Poker concept explanations in simple terms
  • Simulated conversations with poker pros
  • Probability calculations for different scenarios
  • Interactive learning through Q&A
  • Support for different poker variants (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, etc.)

Technical details

Built with:

  • Python for the core functionality
  • OpenAI API for GPT integration
  • Flask for the web interface
  • React for the frontend
  • WebSocket for real-time interactions
  • Custom poker logic for hand evaluation

How it works

  1. User inputs a poker scenario (hand, position, action, etc.)
  2. The application processes this information and formats it for the GPT model
  3. GPT generates a response with analysis, suggestions, and explanations
  4. The response is formatted and presented to the user in a readable way
  5. Users can ask follow-up questions to dive deeper into specific aspects

Why I built it

I've always been fascinated by poker as a game of skill, probability, and psychology. When I started learning about AI and language models, I thought it would be interesting to see if they could help with poker strategy. This project combines my interests in poker, AI, and software development.

Current status

This is a work in progress. The basic functionality is implemented, but there's still a lot to improve:

  • More accurate poker logic
  • Better prompt engineering for more useful responses
  • Improved user interface
  • More comprehensive coverage of poker concepts

Limitations

  • GPT models don't actually understand poker strategy deeply
  • The advice should be taken with a grain of salt
  • The application can't replace real poker training and experience
  • It's more of a learning tool than a strategy generator

Future plans

  • Add support for hand history analysis
  • Implement a "coaching mode" that guides users through learning poker concepts
  • Create a mobile app version
  • Add integration with online poker platforms (where allowed)
  • Develop a community feature for users to share insights
