Steven Levitt: Measuring Skill Level in Poker

[SGspecial]

I was one of his Guinea pigs last year, and it was a really interesting experience. While I'm a firm believer that poker is a game of skill, "Simplified Poker" is obviously all luck as I got pwned!

I also participated in his experiment last summer, it was fun and he is a really nice guy. Very impressed.

He won the 'best economist under 40' award, didn't he? I read Freakenomics when it came out a few years ago... love books like that and the Malcolm Gladwell books Blink and Tipping Point and his online articles as well.
