This doesn't really work, though.

As an example, 5 years ago it would have been extremely rare for any professional poker player to play more than 125,000 hands in a year.

It is not uncommon for us to be able to play 4, 5, or even 6 times that number of hands now. Does that mean that the lifetime of a pro poker player has been lengthened?

Why put an artificial limit on this?
