texas poker in matlab

To create a simulation of Texas hold'em poker game in MATLAB, we need to follow the below steps:

1. Shuffle and deal the cards: We can simulate the shuffle and the dealing of cards by generating a random permutation of the 52 standard playing cards.

main.m
cards = randperm(52); 
23 chars
2 lines

2. Assign cards to each player: We need to divide the shuffled cards into equal parts for each player in the game. In Texas hold'em, each player is dealt two cards, which are also known as the hole cards.

main.m
p1_cards = cards(1:2);
p2_cards = cards(3:4);
46 chars
3 lines

3. Simulate the betting rounds: In Texas hold'em, there are four betting rounds. We can simulate each round by allowing players to make decisions based on their cards and the community cards.

4. Deal the flop, turn and river: After the first betting round, the flop is dealt (three community cards). After the second betting round, the turn is dealt (one community card), and after the third betting round, the river is dealt (one final community card).

main.m
% deal the flop (3 cards)
flop = cards(5:7);

% deal the turn (1 card)
turn = cards(8);

% deal the river (1 card)
river = cards(9);

9 lines

5. Determine the winner: Finally, we need to evaluate the final hands of each player by combining their hole cards and the community cards in order to determine the winner of the game.

This is just a basic outline of how you can simulate a Texas hold'em poker game in MATLAB. You can add more features and complexity to the game, such as implementing different betting strategies, AI players, and more advanced hand evaluation algorithms.
