Poker Statistical Programming Project

SitNGos are a very popular poker tournament form - 6/9/10 people sit around a table each paying a fixed sum and they get a number of chips each. They play hands until only one player remains with all the chips. Usually top 3 places are paid from the money gathered (usually 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd, 20% for 3rd place) Because the blinds rise quickly the strategy from a point on is to either push preflop all your chips in the middle (or call someone who went all in) - or fold. Now what I want is that - in a given SNG - when it's hero's turn to act determine if he should push all his chips all-in or fold his hand. This should be done by consulting a HUGE database for similar hands (regarding number of players, size of stacks, action in hand so far) and statistically determining if the hero should push or fold. I will be collecting the hand histories for the huge database. Programmer's job will be: 1) design the database so it will store the huge number of hands as compact as possible, but making it so we can retrieve info from a certain hand very fast 2) write code to parse hand history files and insert them into the database 3) pattern matching for a hand - given action in a hand so far will look similar hands into the database and determine the right action for our hero (push/fold) I am still working on some of the fine details but I assure you no line of code will be written until everything is discussed and planned. If you would love to work on this project please let me know. It could be both a satisfying programming experience and useful for both me and the selected coder once it is complete. I prefer it to be written in python but I could be convinced to try some other language like C#. Poker experience helps but not much. Programming experience is of course mandatory for this kind of project.
