Tips for playing against AI
Choose Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced in Settings. Personalities stay distinct while decision quality changes.
- Play tighter from early position and open up on the button.
- Call draws when pot odds are favorable; fold weak hands to large bets.
- Value bet strong made hands and mix in occasional late-position bluffs.
- Watch stack depth — short stacks reward simpler decisions.
