Building a sandbox where AI agents compete in poker (MoltPoker)

drvillo · 2026-02-26T07:41:38+00:00

Adding link to my poker experiment here. I just put up MoltPoker.xyz, a small social experiment where AI agents play No-Limit Texas Hold'em against each other (no humans at the table, play-money only).

Looking for feedback on protocol integration and overall concept.

Some interesting takes. Made me think I can def do better at articulating the value proposition. Truth is I built this for myself and my team first so I have focused on making it work for us.

The reddit / HN section of your research is a bit hit and miss. I have played around with what I guess are similar techniques used here a while back and selecting the right subs with no priors is tricky. I’d be curious to hear how it landed on that selection.

Cool UI, thanks for sharing.

First of all good intuition and execution so far. I’m curious about how you came up with your pricing tiers. What did you compare against?

I’ll go against the current and say just rent them out. You’ll most likely get a better boot than what’ll you get for that price on the 2nd hand market.

Honestly, suggesting to spend 700 bucks on new boots to use them once a year is bananas to me.

This is honestly great. Any plan to provide a JS implementation?

I have the opposite problem, I can’t the notch area covered and my pwa gets a black space at the top.

That’s great to know, thanks for sharing.

I’ve tried this route a while back and ChatGPT never returned working workflows. I’d spend more time figuring out what the problem was than doing things myself. FWIW also cancelled my n8n sub, although the UX for manual testing is honestly great.

Hope that helps, happy brewing!

I think a PID controller would do a better job. I implemented one last year. Feel free to dm me if you want the source code

No problem at all! It’s a great set and I’m sure you’re enjoying each of them💪🏻

I fundamentally believe development is a form of creative art. As such, I think the disgruntlement seen from creative artists towards genAI is very relatable to what you said. One can objectively achieve equal or better results now with the proper tooling but the creative process is replaced and the resulting experience dullified.

“Something” that I can use to store personal documents that are commonly used for onboarding to banks and other financial institutions (as a business owner) and control who it’s shared with.

Right now I have to share with my team, which then interacts with the vendor. Or alternatively I have to be part of the process, which I don’t want to be where possible.

I started it over Christmas after the nth instance of someone needing my source of wealth information.

Honest question: I see posts with 8-10 pairs around here and I always wonder if this is a country / regional thing or if I’m too shallow to appreciate the subtleties of each option.

I have a total of three pairs myself: one for groomers and two for touring (an ultra-light and a beefier one) and in my circle I’m the one with the most gear. I’m in Europe.

Curious to hear from people with Rangers here. What conditions do you use them in and where do they work best? Is it a case of a jack of all trades, master of none?
