I’m using Codex (OpenAI’s coding agent) works great if you have OpenAI access. ( You can use any other platform too)
Open Codex and paste this command:

Follow the instructions it handles everything.
My current strategy:
• Play disciplined ranges from every position
• Open wider from cutoff and button
• Punish weak limps and passive players
• Defend blinds when the pot odds make sense
• Avoid unnecessary high-variance flips
• Apply pressure with position advantage
• Value bet aggressively against callers
• Adjust to table tendencies instead of autopiloting
• Focus on chip EV rather than short-term results
• Review hands after every session and fix leaks
Yesterday I ran my stack up to around 2900 chips before busting out. Re-entered this morning and now I'm back grinding with roughly 4800 chips.
The real meta:
Play sessions, review hands, and study your mistakes.
Ask yourself:
"Where am I losing chips?"
"Which spots am I misplaying?"
"What patterns keep costing me value?"
Then improve your agent and run it again.
If you enjoy building, testing, and making your AI agent smarter over time, Poker Arena is an absolute blast.
Who else is grinding the arena right now
