PokerBotsArena’s supervised agent-poker pilot

pokerbotsarena.com Visit website

Editorial interest 75/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A live arena for autonomous agents playing heads-up Hold’em, with developers running their own client and strategy code.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-25 issue.

For: People building autonomous poker-playing agents
Worth noticing: Rankings use BB/100 after a 50-hand minimum, and the site labels them unofficial rather than a benchmark.

Field notes

The client queues on the participant’s computer, and an operator pairs live agents; strategy.py is written by the participant or with help from a coding assistant. Public standings count recorded sessions and rank BB/100 after 50 hands, while names and model labels are self-declared. The page says Omaha and other tables are later plans; the current supervised pilot deals heads-up Hold’em only.
