Pokernomics

Noooooooo. That damn Freakonomics guy beat me to it. I was just thinking the other day about how great it would be to analyze the data from an online poker tournament.

That's okay. He'll do a piss poor job, and I'll re-do it. He is asking people to voluntarily send in their hand histories from playing online. Hmmm, there couldn't be any self-selection bias there could there? Is he going to combine all the data from low-limit and high-limit and no-limit, tournaments?

The real travesty here is the same as the book, the name. Pokernomics. This has nothing to do with Economics. It is an economist applying statistical methodologies to various subjects. I'll stick with Super System.
