Slumbot

Slumbot is one of the top no-limit poker bots in the world. The 2016 version of Slumbot placed second in the Annual Computer Poker Competition, the premier event for poker software.

Working on Slumbot taught me about the terms.

“BB/100” = big blinds per 100 hands $\to$ measures how many big blinds you win per 100 hands played
