jamesbond function(numattable1, crds1, board1,
round1, currentbet, mychips1, pot1,
roundbets, blinds1, chips1, ind1, dealer1,
tablesleft) DESCRIPTION of "if"
statements The first if statement means
if you have less chips than 2 times the big
blind, you go all-in no matter what
The second if statement says that if you have
less chips than 3 times the big blind,
you go all-in if both your cards add up to
greater than or equal to 23 (ie, A9, AT,
KJ, KQ...) OR you have any pocket pair
After the jump is the standard set of betting
rules the algorithm follows The first if
statement means you go all-in if you have pocket
10s or higher The second statement means
you go all-in if you have AQ or AK The
third statement adds on AT and AJ to the above
statement ONLY IF no one has gone all-in
yet and there are only less than or equal
to 2 people left to bet after you After
the next jump is a set of conditions for once
there are 3 or fewer people left at the
table and our player begins to get more
aggressive The first statement means you
go all-in if you have suited connectors
with the smaller card greater than 7 The
second statement goes all-in if you have pocket
5s or better The third statement goes
all-in if you have suited cards with the smaller
of the cards greater than or equal to 10
The final statement goes all-in if you have
at least one ace. continued on next page
