In the following pages I am going to reveal to you exactly how you can produce you own poker playing computer programs Once they are ready all you will have to is start your poker client, pick a table, start your program, and watch the money pour in Everything you need to know is right in these pages IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ANYONE I MEAN ANYONE I cannot stress this enough In order for this to remain so profitable it must, absolutely must remain in very few hands Normally this is where I would wish you good luck but you aren’t going too need it Not when you have a PokerBot Playing for you … What you need Before getting started you will need a few basic things First and foremost you will need to have a computer running some version of the windows operation system Unfortunately the system will not work under Linux or UNIX or Macintosh yet Perhaps one day but not yet You will also need to have an online poker account with one of the online poker rooms If you don’t have an account set up yet I suggest you check out some of the links in the poker resource directory I would personally recommend Party Poker because it is the biggest and most popular site and there are plenty of fish at the tables You will also need to put on your thinking cap a little While the system is pretty simple and straight forward it does require some thinking and effort on your part I know that you are not programmers or techies so I explain everything as simple as possible and assume no prior knowledge For those of you with a little bit more technical experience you can fast track through many of the sections Everything else you need has been included in the download and will be explained in detail in the following pages Chapter 2: How it all Works Technical Overview I would like to begin with a general overview of how the system works The system relies on two existing technologies The first is what I call The Decision Engine This is actually a program called the Online Hold’em Inspector This is an incredible piece of software that knows your hole cards and will capture all of the upcards at the table and calculates detailed statistics It will then recommend what play to make This program was designed to be an aid to live players not a substitute for them I however have found a way to exploit the program The Online Hold’em Inspector is only one piece of the puzzle The second piece is what I like to call The Input Generator This is actually a software tool called AutoIt This amazing tool allows you to fake windows commands such as mouse clicks and key strokes It will allow us to automate interaction with the poker client So how these programs work together to make a PokerBot? Easy I am going to show you how to write a script using AutoIt that will take the recommendations made by the Online Hold’em Inspector and perform them on the poker client It is as simple as that When the Inspector advises you to fold the AutoIt script will click the fold button automatically If it advises you to bet it will bet I am sure you get the point If it doesn’t make sense to you yet just hang on It will become clearer as you keep reading This section was only meant as a brief overview the following sections explain everything in detail The Decision Engine As I already explained the decision engine is really a software program called the Online Hold’em Inspector and will be responsible for making all of the decisions It is the brains of the operation The success of your PokerBot relies heavily on how well your Online Hold’em Inspector makes its decisions Luckily for us this is completely configurable But more on that later First let’s take a look at the program: There is a lot going on here but the most important part for us is the little traffic light at the top That is how the program signals its recommendations The Red light means you have a weak hand and you should fold in most situations The Yellow light means you have an okay hand and you should Check and Call in most situations The Blue light means you have a good hand and you should Bet or Raise in most situations The Green light means you have a strong hand and you should Bet or Reraise in most situations It should be obvious to you at this point that since your PokerBots will depend on the decisions of the Inspector there performance depends on the quality of those decisions So you are probably wondering just how the Inspector makes these decisions Well it uses fully user configurable custom profiles You specify the starting hands, bluffing frequency, slow playing, when to check-raise and absolutely everything else you could possibly think of The inspector is always loaded with a profile when it is advising you The demo version of Inspector that I have included with the download comes preconfigured with the solid profile the full version however comes with many more plus the ability to create your own Before moving on to The Input Generator I strongly advise you to get very comfortable with the Inspector You will need to install the program on your machine Then just start your poker client, choose a table and start the inspector Do not forget to specify what seat you are sitting at on the top left hand corner of the Inspector The version of the Inspector that came with the download is only a trial version and has many limitations For one it will only work on play money tables For now I strongly suggest you build your Bot with this version and once you are comfortable with it on the play 10 money table then and only then move to the real money table where you can start making money The full version can be found by clicking HERE! You can quite a few interesting things with the Inspector so please take the time to read the user manual found with your install to learn how to maximize your use The Input Generator Now that you have had a better look at The Decision Engine it is time to concentrate on the next piece of the system That it the Input Generator As I mentioned earlier this is a tool called AutoIt that is completely free to use and had been included with the download I think the web site states it best: “AutoIt is a simple tool that can simulate keystokes, mouse movements and window commands (maximize, minimize, wait for, etc.) in order to automate any windows based task (or even windowed DOS tasks) AutoIt was primarily designed to assist in automatically installing software that cannot be automatically installed by other means This is most useful during a PC rollout where hundreds or thousands of client machines need to be automatically installed However, AutoIt is not limited to software installation and can be used to automate most simple windows tasks When AutoIt is executed, it reads a specified script file This script file allows AutoIt to perform a number of functions, these include: • Executing programs (Windows applications, DOS commands, etc.) 11 • • • • • Sending keystrokes and mouse clicks (all characters, keyboard layout independent) Window functions (e.g minimizing, hiding, restoring, waiting for, activating) Simple text clipboard functions Simple registry functions Simple string and variable functions.” We will of course be using AutoIt to automate interaction with the poker client All you need to is write a simple AutoIt script that takes the appropriate action (fold, raise, or bet) depending on the traffic light color given off by the inspector In the next section I will explain everything you need to know to write your own script and I have even included a sample script that worked on Party Poker( I make no promises whatsoever that it will still function correctly once you get it but it did work 100% at the time of this writing) Chapter 3: Putting it all together How to write your automated script I understand that most of you have no experience with computer programming and that is completely fine you not need to worry What 12 you need to know to get your Bots working is only a very small amount of information and I am going to explain everything The AutoIt program actually specifies a language that your computer will be able to understand All you have to is write some instructions out in this language and save them in a file Then the program will execute those instructions by running the file So let me start showing you how to put the script together The first concept you will need to understand is that of a variable As the AutoIt help manual explains: 13 In your script you will also need to use variables to store information If you look at the top of the sample script you will see the following variables declared: Global $tablename = "Table Name" $FoldButton = "AfxWnd42s14" 14 $CheckButton = "AfxWnd42s15" $CallButton = "AfxWnd42s15" $BetButton = "AfxWnd42s16" $RaiseButton = "AfxWnd42s16" The first variable holds the name of table you are playing on You will have to change the name every time you play on a different table So if you joined a table named “Texas Fire” the top of your script would say $tablename = “Texas Fire” Then next variables simply hold the names of each of the buttons The actual buttons you see on your poker client are called custom controls and they each have a unique names witch our program will need to know so that it can click on them Don’t worry I am going to show you exactly how to find out the name of the controls The AuotIt program comes with a special utility specifically designed to find out the names of controls It is called the AuotIt window spy All you have to is run it then click on any part of your screen and it will reveal all the information you need So just load up your Poker client, click on each of the buttons and take note of the name of each of the controls Then store these names in the corresponding variables 15 The next concept you will need to understand is that of the function The AutoIt manual explains it well: 16 There is only one last concept you will need to know in order to write you script and that is something called loop statements These simply allow certain parts of our script to repeat a number of times If you look in the 17 sample script you will see a while loop This is the main part of the script and will keep running until you leave the table you are sitting at Well that is really all you need to know to get your own working script Like I mentioned earlier I have included a sample working script so I suggest you study it very thoroughly to understand exactly what you need to The sections in the script that are preceded with a semi colon are there to help you understand the script They are called comments and are just English sentences for your benefit How to start your Bot Ok so now that you have written your script it is finally time to put it all together and let the money start rolling in All you will need to is login to your poker client find a table and take a seat Then you will need to start the Hold’em Inspector Then you will need to specify the table name is your AutoIt script Then just start your script and let it play That is all there is to it! Sample working script from party poker I have included the sample script in the download it is called PartyPokerSampleBot.au3 here is a look: 18 ; Play Party Poker ; Pre-initialization : Set Name of Table Global $tablename = "PUT TABLE NAME HERE" ; Initialize Buttons ; These are the button names you might have to change these for different poker clients $FoldButton = "AfxWnd42s14" $CheckButton = "AfxWnd42s15" $CallButton = "AfxWnd42s15" $BetButton = "AfxWnd42s16" $RaiseButton = "AfxWnd42s16" ; Set Coordinate mode to relative to window AutoItSetOption ( "PixelCoordMode", ) ; Wait for the window of table to become active WinWaitActive($tablename) ; Main Loop While WinExists($tablename) Sleep(300); $FoldVisible = ControlCommand($tablename, "", $FoldButton, "IsVisible", ""); $RaiseVisible = ControlCommand($tablename, "", $RaiseButton, "IsVisible", ""); if $FoldVisible = then Sleep(Random(1500, 2500)) $action = GetAction(); if $action = then ; Fold/Check ; if we can check for free, then that instead of folding if StringInStr(ControlGetText($tablename, "", $CheckButton), "Check") = then ControlClick($tablename, "", $CheckButton); else ControlClick($tablename, "", $FoldButton); endif elseif $action = then ; Check/Call ;Sleep(Random(0, 2000)); ControlClick($tablename, "", $CallButton); elseif $action = then ; Call/Bet ; if we can call then call otherwise bet if StringInStr(ControlGetText($tablename, "", $CallButton), "Call") = then 19 ControlClick($tablename, "", $CallButton); else ControlClick($tablename, "", $BetButton); endif elseif $action = then ; Bet/Raise ;Sleep(Random(0, 2000)); ControlClick($tablename, "", $RaiseButton); endif endif WEnd ; Poker Inspector Actions Func GetAction() WinActivate ("Connected to """ & $tablename); ; red - fold $color = PixelGetColor (338, 55); if $color = 255 then WinActivate($tablename); return 1; endif ;yellow $color = PixelGetColor (338, 67); if $color = 65535 then WinActivate($tablename); return 2; endif ; blue $color = PixelGetColor (338, 79); if $color = 16776960 then ; sometimes bet or just call 50% of the time WinActivate($tablename); return 3; endif ; green $color = PixelGetColor (338, 88); if $color = 65280 then ; If we've got the nuts or close to then sometimes just check 20% of the time ; otherwise raise or reraise WinActivate($tablename); return 4; 20 endif WinActivate($tablename); return 1; EndFunc ; Checks how many empty seats there are Func OccupiedSeats() Local $Count = Local $SeatOpenColor = 3246765 ;Seat If (PixelGetColor(517, 96) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ;Seat If (PixelGetColor(665, 133) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ;Seat If (PixelGetColor(735, 251) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(660, 378) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(493, 413) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(262, 413) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(108, 378) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(53, 247) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf ; Seat If (PixelGetColor(126, 133) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; 21 EndIf ; Seat 10 If (PixelGetColor(264, 96) == $SeatOpenColor) Then $Count = $Count + 1; EndIf return $Count; EndFunc Useful Links Full Version of Online Hold'Em Inspector AutoIt 22 ... have an online poker account with one of the online poker rooms If you don’t have an account set up yet I suggest you check out some of the links in the poker resource directory I would personally...
