texas_holdem_v4.env(num_players=2)
num_players: Sets the number of players in the game. Minimum is 2.
Observation Space
The observation is a dictionary which contains an 'obs' element which is the usual RL observation described below, and an 'action_mask' which holds the legal moves, described in the Legal Actions Mask section.
The main observation space is a vector of 72 boolean integers. The first 52 entries depict the current player’s hand plus any community cards as follows
| Index | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 - 12 | Spades0: A, 1: 2, …, 12: K |

| 57 - 61 | Chips raised in Round 257: 0, 58: 1, …, 61: 4 |
| 62 - 66 | Chips raised in Round 362: 0, 63: 1, …, 66: 4 |
| 67 - 71 | Chips raised in Round 467: 0, 68: 1, …, 71: 4 |
Legal Actions Mask
The legal moves available to the current agent are found in the action_mask element of the dictionary observation. The action_mask is a binary vector where each index of the vector represents whether the action is legal or not. The action_mask will be all zeros for any agent except the one whose turn it is. Taking an illegal move ends the game with a reward of -1 for the illegally moving agent and a reward of 0 for all other agents.
