Seeking data on NL Holdem



Posted Tue Mar 08, 2005 7:19 pm GMT by wallydog
As part of a research effort on the issue of "skill" v. "luck" in NL holdem we are seeking real data on the proportion of hands which end without hole cards being shown. If anyone knows of a source for such data from poker tournaments, even just from final tables at major tournaments, it would be helpful. At this time we are not interested in online games, only casino games. Thanks very much for any suggestions.

It's gonna be a rough row to hoe to get that for live games. You're best shot is putting on a weekly tournament and having your dealers count.

Also, a showdown doesn't indicate a hand is ended by 'luck' - there's plenty of skill involved in, say, GETTING a hand where you flop the nuts TO a showdown...
