University of Bristol studied online poker pros

It is an interesting read:

Even though there are some similarities with degenerative gamblers the study paints a view (at least imo) that pros are a race of their own.

It IS an interesting read (so far - 2 pages in) and also reminds me of a study done and reported here at CardsChat (years ago) on teaching poker as university and college level courses.

Now that I have mentioned this, I have to look for it.
