1. Take biggest profit on any single hand (not pot size, profit).
2. Look here to find how that compares to the GDP per capita of different countries.
3. Realize that you made more in the one minute it took to play that hand than the AVERAGE (including aristocracy/landowners) person in that country makes per YEAR.
I'm writing a paper on world poverty for my economic demography class and thought this might be fun.
Me? I'm a small roller, only Uganda. Any first world countries out there? Anyone make more than the country they live in?

Another interesting way to state the question is:
"How many Burundians' annual salaries have you earned in a single hand?"
I'm only like at like 2, but people like grim probably make more in one hand than a medium sized city does in a year.
