What is SNAP Poker?

SNAP Poker is the fast-fold poker format from 888poker, designed to reduce waiting time as you’re dealt new cards the instant you fold! It’s faster and better than any other online poker software and can be played both in Cash game and Tournament formats. SNAP is also available on Mobile, so you can play the game you love whenever, wherever!

Here’s how it works

When playing SNAP poker, you’re automatically placed in a ‘Players Pool’ and randomly re-seated at a different table every time you fold. SNAP lets you ‘SNAP Fold’ before the action gets to you (out of turn) and within seconds, you’ll be dealt a new hand at new table with new opponents. However, other players on the table will not see that you folded until it is your turn to act.

Fold, watch and play

You may opt to fold or ‘SNAP fold’ and continue watching the hand play out, by either clicking on the Fold watch and play button or by holding down the Shift key whilst clicking on ‘fold’ or ‘SNAP fold’. By choosing to ‘Fold watch and play’, a new screen will appear. In this screen you can watch the rest of the hand in ‘observer mode.’ In the original screen you’ll be moved to a new table, so you can continue to play. Please note that it’s only possible to observe one hand at a time. The “Fold watch and play” option is enabled for SNAP ring games only.

How to join SNAP games

You’ll see the SNAP tab on the right side of the screen when you enter the 888poker Main Lobby. Click on it or drag it to the left and you will be transferred to the SNAP Main Lobby. Under the SNAP tab, you’ll find two sub tabs, with ‘Cash’ or ‘Tournament’ play options. If you want to buy-in to a SNAP Cash game, start by clicking on ‘Cash Games’. Then just double click on a specific pool name, highlight and click on the ‘Join Game’ button. Click on ‘SNAP Tournaments’ to see a list of SNAP Tournaments that are open for registration, including SNAP Sit & Go games. Simply choose one, buy-in and start playing! You can also find a list of SNAP Tournaments including Sit&Gos under the ‘All games’ tab in the 888poker Main Lobby.

What does BTN mean in poker?

button BTN – button. CO – cut-off (the seat to the right of the button) MP – “middle position”: the seat to the right of the cut-off. EP – “early position”, also known as UTG (“under the gun”).

Poker Copilot tracks some statistics by position. For example, you can see “VPIP” by position:

The positions are defined as follows for 10-player tables:

BB – big blind

SB – small blind

BTN – button

– button CO – cut-off (the seat to the right of the button) MP – “middle position”: the three seats to the right of the cut-off. EP – “early position”, the three seats to the right of middle position. These are the first players to act pre-flop. On 9-max tables, there are only two seats in early position.

Here’s a diagram showing the positions on a 10-max table:

Here are the positions on a 9-max table:

For 6-max tables, the definitions are:

BB – big blind

SB – small blind

BTN – button

– button CO – cut-off (the seat to the right of the button)

MP – “middle position”: the seat to the right of the cut-off.

EP – “early position”, also known as UTG (“under the gun”). The first player to act, pre-flop.

Why you should care about the positional stats.

Poker is a game of limited information. The later you have to act, the more information you get, and therefore you have an advantage over early position. In early position players have to decide whether to call, fold, or raise without having any idea about what cards other players have. By the time the action gets to the button, several players have had to make actions already, giving the button more information. This positional advantage continues on the flop, the turn, and the river. The button is always the last to act (excepting the blinds pre-flop), and therefore always gets to see how the other players act. A good poker player knows about this positional advantage, and uses it wisely.
