I'm interested enough to submit my pokertracker database, but the upload page doesn't seem to be working...

I tried too and had the same problem "The document contains no data".

I've got about 60,000 hands and see no real harm in sharing them. In fact I'm pretty curious to hear your feedback.

While we had tested the uploading capability for small files. It appears that larger files are causing this difficulty. I've already contacted the tech guy running that part of the website and hope to get this fixed as soon as possible. I will keep everyone updated.

I saw Levitt when he was on "The Daily Show" a few weeks back. seemed pretty interesting and legit.

Guess i'll upload my 20k hands, might be interesting to hear what he has to say.

man this guy is popping up everywhere. i think Levitt's a buddy of my brother's from college (Vassar I think, my brother went to a lot of colleges!).

He's supposed to be pretty much a shoe-in for the nobel prize, also. Count me in!

edit: I think it was high school, actually. They just had a reunion and the alumni trivia bowl team beat the pants off of the current team. The alum team had like 4 ph.d's including this guy.

Tell your web dude to put this in the web.config <system.web> section to get rid of the timeouts, etc.

although--

do you guys think it's possible that he'll "solve" the game of limit poker? wouldn't that be a Bad Thing?

This is not a tool like "poker tracker" or "the fold button" that can elude most of the online poker playing masses. This is a guy who had a best selling book aiming to publish his results (i assume--or else he'll be writing a mega bot to hunt down everyone whose hand histories they have and pick them apart).

Though online poker may indeed be dead by the time this study gets done, wouldn't it be bad for the game? Ever since I found out connect 4 had been solved I have a tough time picking it up again.

"solve" the game? how many hundreds of books have been written about poker? SSH is on an island display facing the front door of my local Barnes and Noble. If someone is unwilling to pick up and learn from any of the books already available on the subject, I don't think one written my a best selling pop economist will make any difference to the games we play.

I, OTOH, am interested in the analysis an intend to make the most of it.
