So I decided to play 100K hands

PokerSnowie is an artificial intelligence poker training tool.  PokerSnowie learned to play poker by playing against itself -- over and over and over again.

Playing against human opponents, PokerSnowie did pretty well.  It would've made €12.3 Million in profit if it was playing for cash.

I decided to play 100K of hands against in and see how I improved.  In PokerSnowie, the scores presented the errors made -- a lower score is better.  (I've grouped my playing into ~1000 hand selections; they don't necessarily represent a single day of playing.)

Here's my first 20K of hands:

Ratings:  0-4 is extraterrestrial;  4-8 is world class; 8-12 is expert; 12-16 is advanced; 16-20 is intermediate; 20+ is beginner.  

The hope is that playing this many hands will give me a better intuitive sense of what I should be playing.  I don't think it can be my own learning method (as some of the guidance is hard to interpret), but it is nice to be able to play a few hundred of hands when the mood strikes.
