Holdem Bot User Manual

By contrast, if you want the bot to only start pushing all-in when down to the last few players of a SitnGo (or multi-table tournament) then this is the option you want. Frankly, we see that as a good idea for all types of NL Tourneys. (The bot wi ll still fold and check it’s non-playable hands).

You can also set this option to trigger only when your stack size is below a certain level.

Please note that both Fold or Go All In options should not be turned on at the same time. Choose one or the other, or use the Aggressive Tournament Setting instead.

Option 21:

Always Call When Opponent’s Raise is Less than

– because you don’t want to fold for very small raises after you make a large bet in NL or PL games, the bot won’t let you. It will always call a raise from an opponent that is less than 40%, 30%, or 20% of the amount of the bot’s last bet (or raise). Which percentage is up to you. For most tournaments you probably want to set this to

40%.

On the river, there is a minimum hand strength requirement that you have at least best kicker or better before calling the small raise. For all other betting rounds however the bot will call small raises with any hand that it had bet with.

This feature also extends to the next betting round. The bot remembers when it was the last bettor or raiser on the previous betting round and if somebody bets their last few chips out it will treat that as a raise on the previous betting round and apply these settings.

Included on the window for this setting is the most important incorporation of

Always Call when Stack Size is Below

…and lets you set the percentage. It’s important to understand what the percentage setting means. You are setting your stack size as a percent of total investment in the hand. The initial value is set very low at 30%. That means if you have $1,000 in chips invested in a hand but only have $400 left in your stack the bot will still fold to many raises protecting your last $400 because that is 40% of the amount you have invested in the hand. However if you had this set to 50% then the bot would always call any bet or raise if you only had $400 left in this situation.

So what this setting does is override all folding action to calling once you have put a certain amount of your stack in a pot. Some people think they are pot-
