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	$75	26/19/10,1
NOLA2728	NL25$	29K	-$169	$291	21/18/7,4
merovingien1	NL50$	16K	+$328	$691	28/21/11
hiphoppanda	NL100$	21K	-$707	$1,391	24/18/7,7
lambonali	NL200$	18K	-$571	$1,766	21/16/5,2
Urchin	NL500$	16K	-$240	$1,891	27/20/8,5
bseuegor	NL1,000$	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.

Remember that you must opt-in in the "My Missions" section to participate in the $40,000 Weekly Cash Race.
