This is a post from a few month’s ago from the blog of University of Chicago economist and author of Freakonomics Steven Levitt, but I just came across it and thought I would share. Levitt is a poker enthusiast currently working on the use of online poker statistics to resolve the skill vs. luck debate. In this video, he explains that it was a proud day for him when his seven-year-old daughter, who already knew how to play seven-card-stud, stacked the deck to give herself a pair of Aces. Not that he was proud that she was cheating, but simply that she was thinking in such a strategic way at a young age.
