On this website, you can play heads-up (two person) no-limit Texas Holdem. The blinds
are 50 and 100 chips and 💯 the stack sizes are 200 big blinds (i.e., 20,000
chips).
Slumbot is one of the top no-limit poker bots in the 💯 world. The 2024 version of
Slumbot placed second in the Annual Computer Poker Competition, the premier event for
poker software.
The 💯 baseline statistics compare how you did to how Slumbot would have
done with your cards in your seat. A positive 💯 value for baseline earnings mean you did
better than Slumbot would have done against itself given your cards and sitting 💯 in your
seat.
Here's an example with a single hand. First Slumbot deals out cards for the board
(let's say AhTd4c9s3h), 💯 the button (let's say AdKh) and the big blind (let's say TsTc).
Then Slumbot plays itself on these cards. Let's 💯 say that the players get all-in (since
they both have strong hands). So the result is -20,000 for the button.
Now 💯 you get to
play Slumbot on these same cards. Let's suppose you're the button. Perhaps you put in
8,000 chips 💯 on the early streets but manage to fold to a large bet on the river. Your
outcome is -8,000 for 💯 this hand.
Your baseline outcome is how much better (or worse)
you did than Slumbot did against itself. Your baseline outcome 💯 here is +12,000 which is
the difference between -8,000 and -20,000.
Your baseline statistics should better
reflect the skill with which 💯 you play. They eliminate much of the luck due to getting
good or bad cards by measuring your relative performance 💯 to another player playing with
the same cards.
