This is a strange exercise, but if you're going for a random sample of people I'd go with the top 10 names for births in X year.

What makes you think the poker player pool is the same demographic as a random sample. I would argue that it's very different.


Steve, Chris, Mark, Tony, and our #1 name here in California believe it or not is Lisa
In California the #1 name might be Lisa, but I would bet any amount of money that Lisa is not anywhere near the top of the most common poker player names. Lisa is a woman's name &
by anyone's measure poker is a game that is played by many more men than women.
