Poker Hand dataset in Tensor flow accuracy very bad - tensorflow

Question

I am trying to train a neural network for Poker Hand Dataset (10 classes). I have tried to change mnist exampe to fit for this. However, for my program, the accuracy is always about 50%, that is so bothersome. How can I improve the accuracy?

Answer 1

batch_size = 50#1
training_epochs = int(train_X.shape[0]/batch_size)
# Layer's sizes
x_size = train_X.shape[1] # Number of input nodes
h_size = 100#train_X.shape[1] # Number of hidden nodes
y_size = train_y.shape[1] # Number of outcomes
I modify above.
Epoch = 1, train accuracy = 49.98%, test accuracy = 50.11%
Epoch = 500, train accuracy = 90.90%, test accuracy = 90.78%
