## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability poketpoker-opening-hand-advisor-932700d5
```

Example prompt: Should I open Ace-King suited (AKs) from UTG against 4 opponents at a Texas Hold'em table? Give me the recommendation and the equity behind it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, equity-backed open/fold recommendation for a specific hand, position, and opponent count in Texas Hold'em. It is ideal for real-time decision support at the table or for building preflop range charts. Prefer it over the full hand record endpoints when you only need the actionable advice and equity for one scenario rather than the complete hand profile.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid hand notation — unrecognized card combination returns an error
- Position name not recognized — must use standard poker position labels (UTG, MP, CO, BTN, SB, BB)
- Opponents out of range (must be 1-7) returns a validation error
- Missing required query parameter (hand, position, or opponents) returns a 400 error
- Payment not attached or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a recommendation (open or fold) for the specified starting hand from the given position against the stated number of opponents, along with the underlying equity figure used to justify the advice.
