Architecture

# Architecture

## Core Components
### Game Engine

Handles the rules of Texas Hold'em (e.g., dealing cards, managing bets, determining winners).

Manages the game state (e.g., community cards, player stacks, pot size).

Written in Rust for performance and safety.

### Bot Framework

Modular design for strategies (e.g., pre-flop, post-flop, heads-up).

Each strategy module can be rule-based, statistical, or AI-driven.

Interfaces with the game engine to receive game state and output actions (e.g., fold, call, raise).

### AI Models

Decision-Making Models: Neural networks or reinforcement learning (RL) models for decision-making in different game phases.

Opponent Modeling: Models to predict opponents' behavior based on historical data (e.g., PokerTracker DB).

Table Recognition: Computer vision models to recognize table states (e.g., cards, chips) from screenshots or video feeds.

### Data Pipeline

Collects game data (e.g., hand histories, player actions) for training and analysis.

Preprocesses data for training AI models.

### Training Framework

Uses frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow for training AI models.

Integrates with Rust via bindings (e.g., tch-rs for PyTorch).

### Deployment

Deploys trained models to the bot framework.

Supports cloud (Debian Linux) and local (FreeBSD, Windows) environments.

## AI-Driven Modular Strategies

### Pre-Flop Strategy

Uses hand strength charts and opponent modeling.

AI model trained on pre-flop decision-making (e.g., fold, call, raise based on position and hand strength).

### Post-Flop Strategy

Evaluates hand strength relative to community cards.

AI model trained on post-flop decision-making (e.g., bluffing, value betting).

### Heads-Up Strategy

Specialized strategy for two-player games.

AI model trained on heads-up scenarios.

### End-Game Strategy (SNG)

Focuses on tournament-specific strategies (e.g., ICM considerations).

AI model trained on end-game scenarios.

### Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Train bots using self-play or against rule-based bots.

Use frameworks like Stable-Baselines3 or Ray RLlib.

### Supervised Learning

Train models on hand histories from PokerTracker DB.

Predict actions based on game state and opponent behavior.

### Opponent Modeling

Use clustering or classification models to categorize opponents (e.g., tight-aggressive, loose-passive).

## Pipelines for AI-Driven Strategies
Training Pipeline
Data Collection:

Simulate games or use existing hand histories.

### Preprocessing

Encode game states (e.g., one-hot encoding for cards, normalize chip stacks).

Split data into training and validation sets.

### Model Training

Train models using PyTorch or TensorFlow.

Use Google Colab or your RTX 3060 laptop for training.

### Evaluation

Evaluate models against rule-based bots or human players.

Use metrics like win rate, profit per hand, and decision accuracy.

### Deployment Pipeline

Export trained models to ONNX or TorchScript for interoperability.

Load models into the Rust bot framework using bindings (e.g., tch-rs).

Test bots in simulated and real games.

Collect performance data for retraining and improvement.
