Re: project to collect handhistories
And if you need any free help with your form submission (which allows people to submit without filling in any fields and tells them thanks) give a holler, I do asp.net web forms 8 hours a day and I'm a Top 100 poster on www.asp.net forums [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: project to collect handhistories
No offense, dchandler321, but being suspcious of the motives I went looking for links from anything else associated with Dr. Levitt back to the pokernomics.com website (the blog on freakonomics, his U of Chicago site, etc). I didn't find any, so I've emailed Dr. Levitt directly to ask him if he's really associated with the project, or if they're just using his name without his knowledge.
If anyone else is interested, I'll post here if/when I hear back from him. (If the project is in fact associated with Dr. Levitt, I'll be contributing a fair amount of hands; if not, I'm somewhat less interested [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) |

Re: project to collect handhistories
that's good thinking, but i'd have to give props to anyone who devised a scheme convoluted enough to involve an economist's name and offer free t-shirts!

Re: project to collect handhistories
The offer really is legit. Levitt posted about it on his blog awhile back.

Re: project to collect handhistories
Looks good to me.
[ QUOTE ] My involvement is for real. [dchandler321] is a U of C undergrad, who works as my RA. My goal is to do exactly what we say at pokernomics.com. The only reason we haven't linked it to freakonomics.com yet is our page for doing downloads has been balking at transferring really big data sets like yours and we don't want to waste people's time. I was told by my tech guy it would be fixed by tomorrow. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: project to collect handhistories
I'm considering doing this. I'll send them a few thousand hands from some low limit games and see what I get back. I'm not too hopeful that I'll get back anything constructive, but curiosity kills this cat.
I do want to know what kind of confidentiality policy this will have, though I'm not likely to send this in under my real name anyway. Furthermore, does this Chicago undergrad know anything about poker? Does Levitt? |

Re: project to collect handhistories
Sounds like this project could easily be turned into bot making, and that is -EV
