What is the problem with Rlcard environment ?

[hns007]

"Rlcard environment sucks, 50bb pot, wrong pot sizes, wrong action order after flop, I don't know where to start. But it's the only environment I konw out there suitable for this task."

Question 1:
"Wrong pot sizes" refers to a 50bb pot, right?
--- The pot size can be modified through configuration. for example:
rlcard.make(
'no-limit-holdem',
config={
'seed': seed,
'chips_for_each': 200
}
)

Quest 2:
what dose "Wrong action order after flop" mean?

Even you can set chip number it's not good enough, bet size is different from slumbot, and in flop,BB should move first, but in rlcard env, SB moves first.

OK, thanks. What were the results of the matches between AlphaNLHoldem and Slumbot?

Can't play with slumbot, implemted rules are different.

In heads-up game,
pre-flop : SB move first.
flop/turn/river/: BB move first.

Seems your web game not following above rule.

I know. It's a simulator bug.

Thx for your reply, my understanding is your mentioned simulator really means rlcard, is that correct?

rlcard dealing order issue can be workarounded by simply editing ~/anaconda3/envs/py36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rlcard/games/nolimitholdem/game.py

Verified with the web game interface.
