group data gathering

[baudib]

proposed study:

The next time you play a low buy-in SnG and see someone do something absurd like

1. Limp fold on a 6-BB stack
2. Raise-fold 1/3 of their stack
3. Fold in the BB with 1/2 or more of their stack already in

note the country that this player is from and keep track of results over the course of a few days (or however long you feel like doing it).

Hopefully I'll get internet access soon and maybe try to keep track for a few days. Would be interesting. Would need huge sample across day of week / time of day too.
