Project: Enhance a Chrome Extension for Poker Strategy Analysis on PokerNow.club
Project Overview
We need to refine an existing Chrome extension that connects to PokerNow.club tables and provides strategic insights during poker games. The extension currently reads the game state (cards, pot, actions), makes basic suggestions (fold, call, raise), and collects limited data on opponents. However, it requires significant improvements in decision logic, stability, and calculation accuracy (e.g., pot odds, equity).
The goal is to create a more reliable and precise tool for personal use and training, helping to better understand decision-making in online poker.
Current Status
The extension successfully connects to the table, capturing card information, pot size, and player actions.
Simulates possible decisions based on a simple internal logic.
Gathers basic opponent data (number of hands, simple patterns).
Hand evaluation is performed via embedded libraries (no external CDN due to CSP constraints).
Key Issues
Overly Passive Logic
– Folds too often and rarely raises.
Inconsistent Behavior
– Sometimes calls and then immediately folds.
Freezes and Manual Restarts
– The extension occasionally stops responding and needs a manual reload.
Inaccurate Strategy Calculations
– Pot odds, equity, and other metrics are miscalculated.
Lack of Opponent Adaptation
– It does not adjust decisions based on opponent tendencies (e.g., fold frequency, aggression).
No Action Delays
– All actions are instantaneous, which feels unnatural.
Required Improvements
Bug Fixes
Ensure stable operation without freezing.
Remove contradictory sequences (e.g., call → fold immediately).
Strategic Logic Updates
Implement more robust preflop/postflop decision-making (position, hand ranges, drawing hands).
Calculate equity accurately in multi-way pots.
Refine pot odds and expected value (EV) computations.
Introduce appropriate aggression and bluffing scenarios.
Opponent Data Utilization
Incorporate collected stats (fold rates, aggression levels) into decision logic.
Delay Simulation
Add artificial delays (1–10 seconds) before showing or performing actions to simulate natural thinking time.
Extension Architecture
Maintain or improve DOM integration with PokerNow.club.
Ensure that all poker evaluation scripts remain embedded (due to CSP constraints).
Final deliverable should be a loadable “unpacked” Chrome extension folder.
Tech Stack
JavaScript / TypeScript
Chrome Extensions API
Embedded poker evaluation libraries
DOM manipulation and analysis
Deliverables
Updated, stable extension with improved decision-making logic
No crashes or freezes during extended use
Readable, maintainable code
Concise installation guide (how to load the extension in Chrome)
Documentation explaining the logic and strategies implemented
Ideal Candidate
Proven experience developing Chrome extensions
Solid understanding of poker rules and decision-making strategies
Ability to parse game states (cards, bets, pot size) and apply basic AI/logic
Bonus: Familiarity with probability, game theory, or poker simulation libraries
Note
This tool is intended for research and educational purposes, aiming to enhance strategic awareness in online poker by analyzing hands in real time and providing suggestions based on game context.
