full.house:~$ About
Fullhouse Hackathon is a one-day algorithmic poker tournament for students at the UK's top universities. You write a bot. It plays Texas Hold'em against every other bot in the field. The best algorithm wins £500. No luck. No teams. No slides. Just code. The finals are streamed live - bracket format, real chip counts, dealer commentary. Think less hackathon, more arena. Entry is £5. Submissions open May 15th.
