Since the 12th December, nearly 3000 challengers have taken on PokerSnowie, playing almost 2 million hands against it.
Had this been a real money challenge, PokerSnowie would today sit on a very comfortable booty worth €16 million. Not bad for a month’s work.
The precise figures stand at 1,852,809 hands played, with an average error rate for all players of 16.89 and a global winrate for PokerSnowie of 20.83 bb/100.
When concentrating on the 1500 challengers who have played at least 100 hands, and with an error rate below 25, we find 1,577,227 hands played and a profit of 14.11 bb/100 for PokerSnowie. That would still have translated into a generous €8.5 million payday.
Let’s dig into some details behind those figures
Unsurprisingly, PokerSnowie continues to win more against its weaker opponents. In the last update, we had a low number of extra-terrestrial level players, but none have managed to maintain this level. As a result, we do not have any relevant data anymore for this level. For all other play levels, PokerSnowie has consolidated its winning position.
| Hands played | Error rate | PokerSnowie's win rate (in bb/100) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Terrestrial (0-4) | less than 200 | NA | NA |
| World Class (4-8) | 170,064 | 6.56 | +1.94 |
| Expert (8-12) | 456,876 | 9.89 | +5.47 |
| Advanced (12-16) | 389,258 | 13.71 | +10.63 |
| Intermediate (16-20) | 336,386 |
17.76
| +25.17 |
| Beginner (20-25) | 216,063 | 21.77 | +32.04 |
We’re now also able to detail the results by game format and level of play. As a result, each line has a lower number of hands and hence some figures will be strongly affected by variance. We have added a variance indicator to PokerSnowie’s win rate, based on a 95% confidence interval:
| Game format | Play level | Hands Played | PokerSnowie's win rate (in bb/100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head's Up | World class | 54,368 | -5.19(+/- 9.8) |
| Expert | 144,096 | +5.66(+/- 5.7) | |
| Advanced | 149,910 | +18.63(+/- 5.7) | |
| Intermediate | 136,916 | +32.86(+/- 5.7) | |
| Beginner | 97,367 | +54.67(+/- 7.0) | |
| Aggregated result | 671,984 | +27.30(+/- 2.7) | |
| 6-max | World class | 111,414 | +2.53(+/- 4.7) |
| Expert | 236,826 | +4.73(+/- 3.1) | |
| Advanced | 180,205 | +5.24(+/- 3.5) | |
| Intermediate | 110,712 | +14.56(+/- 4.5) | |
| Beginner | 71,307 | +18.65(+/- 5.6) | |
| Aggregated result | 801,465 | +12.83(+/- 1.7) | |
| Full ring | World class | 7,909 | +8.14(+/- 14.5) |
| Expert | 79,349 | +4.43(+/- 4.6) | |
| Advanced | 68,529 | +6.45(+/- 4.9) | |
| Intermediate | 31,723 | +9.39(+/- 7.4) | |
| Beginner | 51,314 | +30.94(+/- 5.8) | |
| Aggregated result | 299,778 | +20.11(+/- 2.4) |
PokerSnowie exhibits even stronger results head’s up, although it did lose against world-class players. (Note however that variance can affect this result either way)
Are PokerSnowie’s winnings always consistent? No. In fact PokerSnowie had its first losing day on the 16th January and we’re expecting that; as the quality of opponents increases, the win rate will fall slightly.

Finally, there are 56 players who individually played in excess of 5000 hands against PokerSnowie. They played at an advanced level of 14.16, with over a total of 540,648 hands. PokerSnowie’s result? Winning 9.85bb/100.
