Whether you live in vim, trained your first model last week, or just think you can out-code everyone at the poker table — this is for you.
→ CS student who wants a real problem to solve
→ Quant nerd who thinks in expected value
→ AI builder who wants to test their agent
→ Poker player who learned to prompt really well
→ Anyone who fired up Claude and thought "I could build something with this"
You don't need to be an expert. You need a better strategy than everyone else's bot. The table doesn't care how you built it.
How It Works
The UK's first poker bot hackathon. Write an algorithm that bluffs, raises, and outplays every other bot in the room — then watch it compete live. Students from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial,UCL and KCL go head to head in a Texas Hold'em tournament where the only edge is how well you coded. No luck. Just you, your bot, and the best hand wins.
01 — Submit your bot (Python, Texas Hold'em interface)
02 — Qualify (top 32 bots advance by chip EV)
03 — Finals streamed live — best algorithm wins
