OpenHoldem

The Bot Logic (OpenPPL)

Since version 7.0 OpenHoldem provides an alternative way to program the bot-logic: OpenPPL. PPL means: Poker Programming Language, an english-like programming languge once designed by Shanky BonusBots. OpenPPL is completely integrated and can be mixed with OH-script if desired. Once a non-empty f$preflop function is present OpenHoldem will switch to OpenPPL-mode and evaluate f$preflop, f$flop, f$turn and f$river instead of the OH-script autoplayer-functions.
##f$preflop##
WHEN hand$AA RaiseMax FORCE
WHEN hand$KK AND Raises = 0 AND Calls = 0 RaiseTo 3 FORCE
To support an easy start we wrote a separate OpenPPL-manual that is included in every download of OpenHoldem.

Default Bot

An OpenPPL-bot might be “incomplete”. The end of a code-section might be reached without a matching action being found, then the default.bot will take over. We will talk about this default-bot in one of the next chapters briefly; all the details are in an extra handbook, the OpenPPL-manual.
