The aim of the project is to set up independent agents who will then play poker with each other, so that they can level up.
Agents
Each player is managed by an agent with a mailbox logic: it receives websockets continuously and a pile grows. At the same time, it will constantly monitor this stack and make decisions accordingly.
Each agent has a very specific role, the three assigned rôles are:
- 1 Master, who wins the most pots
- 1 Maiser, who will always make the bet move
- 7 callers they always follow the Raiser
Game-Strategy
The Master goes bust and is left with only one chip at the start. After this, the other players begin their moves: the raiser places a significant bet, and all other players follow by matching the bet.
Once all players have placed their bets, everyone except the Master folds. The Master then collects all the chips bet by the others, multiplied by 9.
Here’s how it works in practice:
- First round: The Master receives 9 chips (9 * 1).
- Second round: The Master receives 81 chips (9 * 9).
- Third round: The Master receives 729 chips (9 * 81), and so on.
