73% of poker players read poker books? That seems quite high...

Whether the players read poker books or not was not explicitly asked in your question.

1%, in real life, I can count the number of poker players who actually has throughly read a poker book with one hand.

[/ QUOTE ] LOL The interesting question though would be how many of those who read a book improve their game. There too, I think than less than 1% is the right answer... |

[/ QUOTE ] I think you are in the correct range here. I read an article recently that said that surveys showed that less than 10% of the people who buy a typical self-help book actually read the whole thing. It didn't say anything about how many of those changed their lives or behaviour because of it. I see no reason to think that poker players are any different. If 10% of the people who buy a poker book actually read the whole book, and if 10% of those actually show significant improvement, you have 1%. |

(can't really do it justice here, but it is funny) |
