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
