Econometrics Research Problem

[dollerAday]

Hey guys I have to do an econometric research report on a specific topic of my choosing. I want to do it involving poker, something along the lines of proving it is predominantly a game of skill over the long run. But I have been thinking about it and I’m not exactly sure what variables I could have to prove that it is skill based other than money earned. On the other hand I was thinking I could have variables like aggression, vpip, pfr and prove that there is an optimal strategy involved in poker. Another problem I see as a potential problem is finding the data for this, I have over a million hands logged in on PT but I’m not sure how I’d be able to export this data to get a regression model. If I’m able to export this data I was thinking that I would take everyone out over a certain amount of hands, like a couple thousand and use them in my sample.
