Honest Joe is a poker bot that plays one-on-one Texas Holdem poker. Practice your poker skills against the bot and try to figure out flaws in its artificial intelligence. Joe is an honest bot which means it is using just its own intelligence for playing and it does not do anything that would be illegal in a regular poker game. Joes decisions are based on its own cards, the open cards on table and your actions. It is not programmed to win certain amount of games by cheating. Joe is not a great player but it offers a fair opponent for practicing your own play.
Joe varies its aggressiveness, sometimes it plays slow and sometimes it tries to bluff. It constantly calculates winning probabilities of its own hand but it doesnt see your cards so you should be able to fool it every once in a while. If you are any good at poker you will be better than Joe in the long run. To help you figure out its playing strategy Joe always reveals its cards at the end of a hand.
