    Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about building my own poker assistant bot, but I have no clue where to start. Like, what are the main steps involved in creating one that actually helps in real-time during games? I mean, I’ve seen some AI tools that calculate odds and suggest moves, but how complicated is it to develop something like that? Does it require heavy programming skills or just some basic coding? Also, how do you make sure it adapts well to different poker variants Pokerbot ? Would love to hear if anyone has experience with this or can point me in the right direction.

    Hey! That’s a great question and definitely something I looked into before trying out an AI poker assistant myself. Building a custom poker assistant is definitely not a simple plug-and-play thing, but it’s doable if you’re willing to dive into a few areas. First, you need a solid understanding of poker mechanics and probabilities — the AI basically needs to “think” about odds and opponents’ likely hands. Then comes the programming part: many use Python or C++ to code algorithms that can calculate odds in real-time and suggest moves based on game state. You also want your assistant to include some randomness to mimic human behavior so it’s not instantly detectable, which is often overlooked. The tricky part is supporting multiple game types like NLH, PLO, or Omaha, because each has its own strategy and hand evaluation methods. It’s a lot about integrating databases of hand histories and running simulations to train your AI. If you want a more structured guide and even some tools to start from, I highly recommend checking out aipokerbot.com. They have some really useful resources about the tech behind poker bots and how to set up your own assistant with the right balance of automation and stealth. I found their blog pretty insightful in breaking down what’s practical versus theoretical. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for sharing all that, it really clarifies a lot of the technical stuff behind poker bots. I guess it’s not just about coding but understanding the game deeply and making the bot behave naturally. It’s interesting how even little things like random delays can make a difference. I might just start by learning more about poker theory before jumping into coding.
