POKER DEMOGRAPHICS...

Does anyone know where I can find info on poker demographics?

You could poll this forum and produce your own, but they'd probably be biased in some way.

no i can't, and as a guy that does knows public opinion and survey research, I'm not sure of how you could even get a reliable representive sample of poker players. There are several problems, like measuring what a "poker player" is (ie who are you looking for), and once you have figured that out, there is no effective way i can think of to get in contact with them. There is snowball sampling (asking a "poker player" to tell you of others), but that won't be terribly reliable.

Joker is 1000% right. Polling this board is not representative of poker players in general, or even online players. It might be a REASONABLY good measure of online sharks -- that is a "good enough" measure depending on what you want to do.

Are you doing some sort of sociology project?

Haha--I would be the outlier in the Oregon casinos. They're all populated by 60+ retirees. They call me kid around there. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
