Pokernomics.com: A Major Project Collecting Hand Histories
University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt is researching Texas Hold'Em poker and online gambling. We have created a webpage where you can go for more information about the project as well as upload your hand histories Pokernomics.
Anyone who submits 10,000+ of their own hands will receive a free analysis of their play. People submitting more than 30,000 hands will receive an analysis and a signed copy of his New York Times bestselling book "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything". If you submit a hand history with more than 50,000 hands you will also receive a Freakonomics t-shirt. |

Do you accept PT Databases or do you want the actual HHs?

And, Citanul, you don't like the idea of spam, right? |

Sure, it's spam, but it's for an interesting cause and it will save me the expense of buying his book. I'm not going to complain.

It is, for the record, a very interesting book. I briefly entertained the possibility of seeing if Levitt needed graduate assistants; I've been looking to go back to school anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Pokernomics.com: A Major Project Collecting Hand Histories
Is this an academic study? Will the results be made public? What is the actual hypotheses and/or trends that will be looked for?

Our goal is to understand the factors that make players succesful at poker. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it's academic, but the purpose seems pretty commercial. They say they won't sell data, but not that they won't sell the conclusions. I guess it will be an interesting book. |
