Chico Poker Network: New rake race value
Chico Poker Network redesigned its weekly rake race in July 2020, boosting the prize pool to $40,000. Grinders will be able to take part in the leaderboards for at least three more weeks, so we decided to find out what extra value this promotion gives, and who were the players who won in the last week.
$40,000 Weekly Cash Race: Rakeback
In our review of Chico Poker Network's new $40,000 Weekly Cash Race, we wrote that dividing it by stakes was a fairer solution than having a common leaderboard. But, at the same time, individual ratings now give less money.
What real rakeback did participants get in the last week (July 5 to 11)?
Hold'em
| Prizes | 1st place | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stake | Rake | Rakeback | Rake | Rakeback |
| NL10$ | 143 | 8,70% | 383 | 19,60% |
| NL25$ | 172 | 14,50% | 850 | 34,20% |
| NL50$ | 429 | 11,70% | 1,393 | 49,60% |
| NL100$ | 1,371 | 10,30% | 3,109 | 44,60% |
| NL200$ | 1,403 | 7,50% | 3,116 | 56,80% |
| NL500$ | 789 | 12,70% | 2.572 | 73,50% |
| NL1,000$ | 1,086 | 7,40% | 4,141 | 45,70% |
Omaha
| Prizes | 1st place | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stake | Rake | Rakeback | Rake | Rakeback |
| PLO10$ | 55 | 11,40% | 274 | 36,50% |
| PLO25$ | 183 | 6,80% | 384 | 23,70% |
| PLO50$ | 225 | 13,90% | 1,017 | 26,20% |
| PLO100$ | 326 | 15,30% | 1,564 | 44,20% |
| PLO200$ | 620 | 6,06% | 2,636 | 18,70% |
| PLO500$ | 527 | 11,90% | 1,980 | 45% |
| PLO1,000$ | 466 | 6,40% | 2,706 | 18,40% |
With smaller prizes relative to buy-ins at each stake, TOP10 players received 6% to 15,3% rakeback and winners from 18,4% to 73,5%. The lowest cashback was at the Omaha high stakes games. This is because of the nuances in the structure of the prizes.
Who won the $40,000 Weekly Cash Race leaderboard?
Thanks to the Statname.net site we have more information about all the race participants. Let's see who won the leaderboards from July 5 to 11:
Hold'em
| Player | Leaderboard | Hands played | Winrate | Prize | Stats (VPIP, PFR, 3Bet) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fold LesS | NL10$ | 12K | -$594 | $75 | 26/19/10,1 |

| hiphoppanda | NL100$ | 21K | -$707 | $1,391 | 24/18/7,7 |

| bseuegor | NL1,000$ | 4,7K | -$203 | $1,891 | 28/21/9,7 |
*Despite the massive popularity of 9-max games on Chico, 90% of the leaderboard winners played 6-max.
Omaha
| Player | Leaderboard | Hands played | Winrate | Prize | Stats (VPIP, PFR, 3Bet) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1myourhuckleberry | PLO10$ | 6,1K | -$11 | $100 | 23/15/7,2 |
| ohdorzeedot | PLO25$ | 5,6K | -$646 | $91 | 29/17/8,5 |
| popexx | PLO50$, 100$ | 6,1K | -$159 | $957 | 43/9/3,3 |
| SWYThink | PLO200$, 500$ | 8,8K | -$7,8K | $1,382 | 31/20/7 |
| gamblegambel | PLO1,000$ | 3,7K | -$2,5K | $491 | 43/28/9,4 |
The data in the tables shows that the players who took down 1st place on the leaderboards lost money at the tables. Almost all players in Hold'em (except for Fold LesS in NL10) can be called rakeback grinders.
On the other hand, Omaha players (except "popexx" and "1myourhuckleberry") constantly lost money, despite success in the race, and the number of hands played is significantly less.
