Duolingo is the fun, free app for learning 40+ languages through quick, bite-sized lessons. Practice speaking, reading, listening, and writing to build your vocabulary and grammar skills.
Having used both programs, I can say that Babbel is better than Duolingo in terms of effectiveness, engagement and offering guidance. I like that Duolingo is free, but that's about it. Babbel is hands down the better overall language learning app.
Slumbot is one of the top no-limit poker bots in the world. The 2024 version of Slumbot placed second in 💻 the Annual Computer Poker Competition, the premier event for poker software.
The baseline statistics compare how you did to how Slumbot 💻 would have done with your cards in your seat. A positive value for baseline earnings mean you did better than 💻 Slumbot would have done against itself given your cards and sitting in your seat.
Here's an example with a single hand. 💻 First Slumbot deals out cards for the board (let's say AhTd4c9s3h), the button (let's say AdKh) and the big blind 💻 (let's say TsTc). Then Slumbot plays itself on these cards. Let's say that the players get all-in (since they both 💻 have strong hands). So the result is -20,000 for the button.
Now you get to play Slumbot on these same cards. 💻 Let's suppose you're the button. Perhaps you put in 8,000 chips on the early streets but manage to fold to 💻 a large bet on the river. Your outcome is -8,000 for this hand.
Your baseline outcome is how much better (or 💻 worse) you did than Slumbot did against itself. Your baseline outcome here is +12,000 which is the difference between -8,000 💻 and -20,000.
