New Mexico Players at the WSOP




With the WSOP more than half over, here are the stats to the number of known player that have entered a WSOP event, how many cashes have occurred and how much money NM players have earned so far! I have also compared it to our four corners neighbors.

STATS JUNKIE ALERT! TECHNICAL ANALYSIS TO BEGIN!



Country/State Players Bracelets Cashes Winnings
Arizona 666 0 107 $1,852,716
Colorado 561 0 67 $751,203
New Mexico 78 0 11 $415,632
Utah 141 0 19 $81,200

One thing that jumps out is though we have sent the fewest players of any of the 4-corners states, we do not have the lowest cash winnings. Not only that, but see the breakdowns below:


$ per entry $ per cashout $ per State Pop.
Arizona $2,781.86 $17,315.10 $0.29
Colorado $1,339.04 $11,211.99 $0.15
New Mexico $5,328.62 $37,784.73 $0.21
Utah $575.89 $4,273.68 $0.03

As shown above, New Mexicans are showing a remarkable efficiency compared to their neighbors. More money per entered player and per average cashout. The reason Arizona wins in dollars earned per person in their state and not in the other categories has to be due to one or two unusually large single payouts.

New Mexican poker players have much to be proud about! Keep up the good work. I will redo a chart after the whole series is complete.
