[FONT=&quot]An online poker study is being conducted by Jennifer Wagner, a Psychology Honours student at the University of New Brunswick, supervised by Ph.D student Anthony Hopley and Dr. Richard Nicki. This study is being done online and investigates the relationship between measures of gambling behavior, work behavior, and personality variables in high-earning online Texas Hold’em Poker players. All participants will fill out several questionnaires, which should take no more than 45 minutes. Each participant will be entered into a draw for four prizes of $50 (expected odds of winning are 1:25). If you’re at least 19 years old, or 21 outside of Canada, and your average annual online poker earnings are at least $10,000, please visit the website below if you would like to participate in this study.[/FONT]

    That is, if we get 100 people to complete the survey. With that being said, the odds will most likely increase.

    I'm sorry to hear that you weren't provided with the results of the last survey. Here are the findings from that study. Enjoy!

    "Texas Hold`em Online Poker (THOP) is on the rise. However, there is relatively little research examining factors that contribute to problem gambling in poker players. The negative mood states of depression, anxiety and stress were found to be linked to problem gambling; yet, the contribution of each factor was not independently assessed. In addition, skill may be particularly important for poker players. Therefore, the effects of two potential contributing factors, yearly monetary earnings and locus of control, on problem gambling were investigated. Participants were self-selected online poker players (N=62) who completed an online survey. Results revealed that participants played an average of 16 hours per week. Furthermore, 11.5% of the sample was classified as problem gamblers according to the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. Problem gambling was uniquely predicted by time played, the negative emotion of stress, and locus of control."

    kind of ironic that you are studying problem gambling and you have a draw to win cash if you complete the survey. Some might find these interesting:
