What group of people do you think is more likely to have heard of Freakonomics, top bridge players or top poker players?
Bridge vs Poker – The battle of cards In the United States, the most popular card game in the 1940s was contract bridge. It was played by 47% of women and 30% of men. Poker took second place among men (22%) and only 5% among women. Poker is relatively an easy game to learn even for beginners. On the other hand, bridge is quite complicated for starters and it takes a lot of skill in order to master it completely. Poker also popularized the term bluff. This bluff element in fact has paved way to today’s poker related terms like poker face, among others.
Poker Or Bridge
Far and away it is bridge players.
We ran some experiments at a big bridge tournament last week and used the Freakonomics name to help recruit volunteers. Many of the bridge players had heard of or read the book. It made recruiting very easy.
Right now, I am in Las Vegas trying to run some experiments on top poker players. With the notable exception of a few very intelligent players like Phil Gordon and Howard Lederer, it seems that poker players don’t spend a lot of time reading, at least not books like Freakonomics. Virtually no one we approach to be in the experiment has any idea what Freakonomics is. One guy said to me, “Freakonomics…doesn’t that have something to do with Scientology?” I said, “Actually, no. It has more to do with Economics.” He walked away.
If, against all odds, you are a serious poker player who is in Las Vegas over the next few days, and you are actually reading this, we still need some more recruits. Here is a description of the experiment.
